the back saws are intended for joiners for mortis and dove tales ----- Original Message ----- From: Jewel Blanch To: bhm Sent: Saturday, April 05, 2008 6:49 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Backed saw
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?
