Hand Saws and Their Uses - What Backsaws do You Need

[@johnburens3395]

My first saw I want is your dovetail saw. Next would be your tenon saw. Ideally we would want them all, but could we get by and expect fairly decent results with the two saws mentioned above? Thanks

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

No, as they aren’t very effective at cross cutting. The first two I would recommend would be the Joinery Crosscut and Dovetail, but not in that order.

[@bearthompson6506]

Another fantastic instructional vid! I am an information person, and by that I mean the more information I have about something the more comfortable I am about using or doing that something. I have enjoyed your vids on how to use a tool, make a cut, or build a “something”, and this was pure icing on the cake. Teaching someone WHY you want something done a particular way gets better results than just TELLING them to do it. And your chisel demo of a rip vs crosscut saw tooth was great! Thanks once again!

Thanks for this video Rob! What about panel saws though? I'm using a Japanese pull saw for long rips and I can't stay to the line for the life of me!

[@whittysworkshop982]

A Japanese saw works best when your material is horizontal and low, the angle of attack is quite low too; about 25⁰-40⁰, but you also need to vary the angle to get a straight cut. Because Japanese saws have such little set, they are hard to steer...... they will want to track the original line you started on. Watch someone who uses a Japanese saw, you will see that they dont continue the cut at the same angle, they will drop the handle end to get the backside tooth out of the cut and closer to your side; this makes it easier to steer. But after a few strokes with the handle dropped you will have to raise it again or the kerf will wander on the backside........ if you keep the handle dropped it will be on your line on your side, but way off line on the backside. The average Japanese saw is better for thinner stuff, it will struggle in thicker material, dont even think about resaw with the average Japanese saw 😂 An English style panel saw works best with the material low also, like on a sawing bench, but the angle of attack is higher, about 45⁰-60⁰. A panel saw is usually used for thinner material or "panels" that are already close to size, panel saws are for trimming...... hand saws are for material break down. Hand saws are usually around 5tpi rip, or 8tpi x-cut and about 26inch long. Panel saws are usually pitched finer for a better cut; 8-10 tpi rip, or 10-12 tpi x-cut and they are shorter at about 18-24inch. Breaking material down with a panel saw will take longer than with a handsaw, the cut will be rougher with a handsaw, but it is not the last tool to touch the wood so dont worry about how rough it is, a plane is gonna come along after and clean it. If you're lookin for a saw to break down materials I'd recommend a 5 tpi rip and an 8 tpi x-cut.... a panel saw for trimming I'd go for about 8 tpi rip and 10 tpi x-cut 😁

Great video, this, like many you've done over the last while, this is a reference video for us! One thing would help as we try to sharpen our own saws, you mentioned some angles for the tooth configuration but not all, this is critical to ongoing saw maintenance. I checked the full description of the saws you sell, they all are listed, even the cross cut as having a zero degree rake. You mention in this video that you relax the rake on your tenon saw by 3 or 4 degrees. Could you please clarify some of this, would help us tremendously in our attempt at using our saws for daily use. Thank you for all you do to preserve the craft of hand tool wood working.

[@bluekingfisher1416]

Interesting video, Rob, very useful and informative. Thank you. I have two bench saws, (three, but it's only used occasionally for larger tenons) both of which are filed for rip cuts. I have my vintage 15tpi dovetail saw with a progressive rake, 15 degrees first inch of plate, 10 degrees the second inch with the remaining teeth filed at 5 degrees. My other saw is a 12tpi tenon saw with the same teeth configuration as above, again filed for rip cut. In all honesty with teeth that small, cross cutting has never been an issue, no tear out on the cross cuts etc. Should you ever work with brittle or difficult words then scoring across the grain with a knife will take care of that. Most hobby woodworkers need little excuses to buy more tools, and why not. However, I found that having to look for and consider another saw of similar size and dimension with a different tooth configuration on the bench was less productive for me. Besides, sharpening cross cut teeth on teeth that small is a lot more challenging than rip cut filing, particularly if ones eyesight is not what it once was. I can sharpen the teeth on my dovetail saw in under 5 minutes from the point of realising it needs a touch up to cutting again with newly sharpened teeth. The key is to do it relatively often so little in the way of jointing the teeth is required That said, all of my saws are vintage which I have been refurbished myself. You are quite correct in saying it does not take too long to learn to file the teeth, although it's a little more challenging if the saw teeth are in poor condition as jointing and reshaping of the teeth is required although even in worse case scenarios a plate can be completely jointed flat, removing all teeth (often quicker than reshaping a badly filed set of teeth) with the being re cut, set and sharpened in a couple of hours. I would follow your suggestion, in that anyone interested should procure some old saws and learn to bring them back to life. The process becomes quite addictive and you will soon find it a straight forward process. The only possible downside is, you may find your pals asking you to sharpen their saws for them, something you may or may not wish to do but its fun and satisfying to know you can do it. Good luck.

[@CJBorshard]

If given the choice, straight vs tapered, is there a huge benefit with one over the other?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Nope.

[@mikegraham7078]

It seems almost everyone suggests that rip teeth can't be used for cross-cut purposes, except for the roughest, nastiest purposes. I have found that you can use a rip saw with higher pitch than a cross-cut saw to cut cross-cut at the same or better rate with a clean cut. Certainly a 4-point rip saw will cut rougher than an 8-point panel saw, but it will also cut many times faster. A 12-point rip saw may cut just as fast or faster than the 8-point cross cut saw, and not be significantly rougher. I found my epiphany reading the writings of Tage Frid, who wrote that when a cross-cut saw gets dull he sharpens it rip, so that virtually all of his saws had rip teeth. I did some experimenting and I was surprised at how well rip saws work in cross-cutting applications. My experience seems to be at odds with what the majority of woodworkers will say will work, but that's what I have found.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Sure a rip will crosscut and a crosscut will rip. But we aretalking backsaws for fine furnture joinery in this video not panel asws for rough sawing. I use my rip to crosscut the end pins on my dovetails. So yes you can do it but for any complicated joing, E.g. mortise and tenon where I really want a clean joint I will reach for the correct saw

[@TR-yn5tb]

Very helpful Rob. I’m gonna order a couple of saws based on your video. Will reach out to your team in the next couple of days.

[@bobg8997]

Have you found that new saw set pliers are inferior to older, used models? What do you use to adjust set on your dovetails saw?

[@mitchelllittle6472]

Hi Rob, Very informative video regarding back saws, thank you. I have a question...are the older saws that are available in flea markets and eBay comparable in quality and blade steel of the modern quality saws available today ? Your videos are very informative and the information is put across in a clear, understandable and easy to follow manner...thank you as I'm sure they are helping many fellow woodworkers.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Yes the blade steel is virtually unchanged. First is how saw fits in your hand, then look down the tooth line a see if the plate is straight or wiggly. If not straight put it down. If all that is ok you will likely need to joint and sharpen the saw, possibly reset the saw or maybe stone to saw to remove set

[@mitchelllittle6472]

Many thanks for the reply. Much appreciated 👍

[@bproffer]

Rob, is there ever a time under normal use (not dropping it) that you would need to check the set of the teeth? How would you go about doing that?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

You should be able to determine if the set is adequate by sawing. If it is difficult to keep the Saul on a straight line this may be an indication that the set is too much. This means the Saul is creating a wide kerf and allowing the Saw to wander. Two little srt the saw will bog down or get stuck in the kerf, this is an uncommon problem
