Irwin 10503534 12T/13P XP3055-300 Jack Tenon Saw, 12, Blue, 12"

Product Information

At 655g, the 9550B is the heaviest of the three, but it feels nicely balanced. The handle feels good in the hand, and because it’s wooden, it can easily be sanded down or shaped to suit individual needs.

This Irwin saw features triple-ground teeth to optimise cutting performance on push and pull strokes, just like the Draper model. With more TPI than the Draper model (12 vs 11), this Irwin saw doesn’t cut as fast but provides a neater finish. This one features a plastic handle that is moulded to perfectly fit the shape of the hand. Furthermore, it benefits from a soft grip for ultimate comfort while cutting. ConclusionThe tenon saw is designed for cross-cutting and its unique design is perfect for this type of cut. When you are looking to make very precise crosscuts, the rip-filed teeth of the tenon saw allow for much greater accuracy and neatness across the grain. What Is The Difference Between A Tenon Saw And A Dovetail Saw?

When it comes to handles, you’ll find that the best tenon saws have pistol grips. These grips hold the blade in a solid and steady position, allowing you to control the cut.

Another brilliant feature of the tenon saw is the pistol grip handle. This gives the user greater comfort while cutting as well as making the saw safer to use. On the downside, several users have complained about the lacquered coating applied to the blade to prevent rusting. However, you can easily remove this with white spirit if it slows down the cut too much. Pros Getting into woodworking means that you’ll be faced with a plethora of different tools and knowing what each of them is for can be headache-inducing. We recently produced a guide on the different types of saws and what they are used for but we wanted to place our focus on the tenon saw since these are versatile and an essential part of your toolkit. With that in mind, many people ask can you use a tenon saw to cut plastic? In theory, you can but you might not get the precision that you would when cutting wood. For obtaining the same smooth, even finish on plastic, it is preferable to use something like a coping saw. Are Tenon Saws Ripcut Or Crosscut Saws? If you’re just getting started and initially setting up your workshop, there are a lot of things you’ll need to buy. This may mean that you don’t want to break the bank on any particular item but it’s also important not to compromise where quality is concerned.
