Product information
These saws are constructed according to the same design and construction principles as the VERITAS dovetail saws described above. The American term „carcass saw” refers to a backsaw that is larger than a dovetail saw but somewhat smaller than a tenon saw. Typically, it was used to work on parts of drawers and frame-built furniture, hence the name (carcass = framework, frame, skeleton, corpus). This saw is available in both rip cut and crosscut versions. The tooth spacing of the crosscut version is 1.8 mm. The rake angle is 14°, the angle between the tooth back and the tooth face is 60°, and the teeth are alternately beveled at 15° (English „fleam”) to ensure the fibers are cut cleanly rather than merely torn – see Fig. B. The set is relatively small, at just under 0.1 mm on each side. With a blade thickness of 0.5 mm, this results in a kerf of just under 0.7 mm. The saw back is made from an injection-molded plastic that contains stainless steel powder to give the saw weight. The saw is well balanced and cuts easily and accurately. The comfortable open pistol grip made from Bubinga gives the feeling that the saw is a natural extension of the human arm. The carbon steel blade is 279 mm long and 0.5 mm thick, allowing a cutting depth of 60 mm. The overall length of the saw with handle is 416 mm. Weight is around 400 g. Since the blade is made of carbon steel, it is resharpenable but not stainless. Occasional oiling is recommended.
