Veritas Tenon Saws
Weighing just under 1 1/2 lb (650 grams) with 16" (406mm) blades, these are the largest saws in the Veritas line. This is the 12 tpi crosscut saw, but they are also available in 9 tpi rip tooth style. The blades are made from 0.024" (0.6mm) thick high-carbon steel with 0.003" (0.076mm) of set per side and a cut depth of nearly 4" (100mm).
The teeth on the crosscut saw have a 15° rake and have been filed with alternating 15° bevels so they sever wood fibers rather than tear them.
Each saw is well balanced, with a spine molded from a mixture of stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness and a polymer resin binder. The closed handle is configured for exceptional control for a saw of this size and weight, with a hardwood grip secured by a stainless-steel bolt and brass nut.
The blade and handle-mounting bolt are molded into the spine, creating a solid blade/spine/mount assembly.
Made in Canada.
