Lie-Nielsen 16 inch Tenon Rip Saw

Lie-Nielsen 16 inch Tenon Rip Saw

Traditional tenon saws are distinguished from dovetail saws by their size: longer, wider blades for faster sawing through much deeper cuts, with fewer teeth for sawing through tenon cheeks and other stock far thicker than is usually encountered in dovetails. The Lie-Nielsen Tenon Rip Saw is considerably beefier than Lie-Nielsen's acclaimed dovetail and carcass saws, but it's built to the same high standards of quality and finish. The blade is .020” thick; teeth are set .004” each way. 3/4” solid brass backs maintain tension for straight, precise, sawing. A maple handle in a classic Disston pattern completes the package.

Most of your time sawing tenons is spent cutting the cheeks along the grain, so this model is filed for rip cuts: 11ppi, with nearly vertical tooth faces. This model has a 16 inch blade, 4-1/8 inch depth of cut and 21-1/4 inch overall length.
