The Veritas Crosscut Dovetail Saw has great balance it cuts easily, stays true and the pistol grip helps make the saw feel like an extension of your arm.
The saw has a 235mm (9.1/4") long by 0.5mm thick high-carbon steel blade filed with 16 teeth per 25mm (16 tpi). The teeth have 15° rake and bevel angles. The depth of cut is about 40mm. The back of this saw is injection moulded under high pressure onto the blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt. This forms a solid one-piece blade/spine/mount assembly.
