I have several question.
I am in the process of buying possibly several saws for Bad Axe.
I know I want their 10" dovetail saw. No problems there.
I can figure out the ppi and blade thickness without any problems.
I do have a problem with the bling..... I can handle that. I think... sigh...
The problem I am having is that Mark suggested a Tenon saw and a Sash saw.
What is the difference?
I understand a tenon saw for sawing tenons.
This is filed rip.
I am confused about the sash saw.
I know that this is filed crosscut.
Why not a tenon saw filed crosscut.
I have looked on Mark's web site but I think I am missing something. There appears to be a lot of information there, I don't understand most of it.
I have what the filing terms mean. I don't understand to saw names or the difference between the saws.
Is the difference about the size of the saws. The height of the blade.
I will purchase these saw with a very nice gift certificate from my 3 sons and I want to get it right.
I don't want to purchase something I will never use.
I don't need suggestions on what to buy as much as I need to know what the saws are used for and why.
Thanks guys.
