Dovetail Saw Set
Dan Clermont in Burnaby
>I have a Tom Law sharpened and Set dovetail saw which works quite well but the set is quite wide when compared to some of the other saws Tom has done for me.
I measured the blade thickness to be 0.0020" and the set on the teeth to be 0.0035" so I have about 7.5 thou on either side. The other Rip Carcass saw I have has 4 thou on either side and very little slop.
The Dovetail saw has 15TPI and the blade has small kink from a previous user and before I sent it off to Tom. Tom didn't think the kink would cause a problem and I am wondering if Tom may have increased the set to accomadate for the kink and what would happen if I removed allot of the set to prevent the slop in my dovetail cuts.
Really though, LOML wants to buy me a dovetail saw after seeing the Rob Cosman Dovetail video and seeing some of Rob's dovetails in person.
TIA,
Dan Clermont
