Detailed Description

Lie-Nielsen Tapered Saws

Lie-Nielsen's Tapered Saws combine all of the best features they've developed in their other backsaws over the years. They use thin plates for fast, precise cuts with less effort. The tapered blade helps eliminate the frustration of cutting through your depth line on the back of the workpiece. When you reach the depth line on the front of your workpiece the tip of the saw should be above the line on the back.

Lie-Nielsen uses only the best materials and manufactures every part of their saws in-house. The polished Swedish steel blade is cut, set and mounted in a solid brass milled back. The completed blade is fitted with a beautiful handle. Finally, each saw is filed by hand and tested. All of this happens in one room at the Lie-Nielsen factory. We snapped pictures of the Tapered Backsaws in production on one of our trips to the Lie-Nielsen factory. Regardless of which tapered backsaw you select, you can be confident with Lie Nielsen's lifetime guarantee against defects in materials or workmanship.

Dovetail Saw

The Dovetail Saw is based on a British saw made in 1930. Dovetailing is primarily a ripping operation, so Lie-Nielsen files the teeth of this saw in a rip configuration with 15 points per inch. This setup balances speed and cut quality. Overall height 4-1/4".

Carcass Saw

The Carcass Saw has 14 points per inch - filed for crosscut. It is used for cutting tenon shoulders and other crosscut operations. This is a good complement to the Dovetail Saw. Overall height 5".

Tenon Saw

The Tenon Saw is based on a Henry Disston saw from the early 1900's. Like the Dovetail saw, it is configured for precise rip cuts. However, it has a wider blade and slightly coarser teeth so it can handle the deeper cuts required for tenons. The teeth are filed for a rip cut with 11 points per inch. Overall height 6".
