I was just reading through one of Ray's recent contributions to the list on the
ten most critical
tools that should be inyour tool box. One of them was a saw, and the article
went on to talk about
backed saws that have steel reinforcing on the top edge of the blade to keep it
stiff.
Now, a saw that insists on bending and flexing is a right royal pain in the
neck, so that one that
stayed stiff as you pushed would be a boon, but the reinforcing prevents you
from sawing to a depth
greater than the width of the saw.: not convenient at all, so is it possible
to get a slotted
length of steel that you can slip onto the saw blade, holding it in place with
a couple of wing
bolts so that the stiffening frame can be removed if the timber to be sawn is
thicker than the
stiffening frame will allow?
