I finally used my Lee Valley gift certificate and picked up the large tenon saw, in rip cut. I'm really liking it so far. It's a bit spoiling for me; I honestly mostly cut anything bigger than dovetails that's rip cut in hardwood with a panel saw.
Anyway, I'm contemplating picking up the x-cut model. For precision cross cuts, I have a short (maybe 16"?) Disston mitre box saw; it works well if you aren't trying to lift the whole weight. It's actually found more use than I thought, but the weight and thickness are too much for a saw not in a box.
Anyway - I'm really liking the 9 TPI of the rip saw; and I'm almost thinking a crosscut saw that same tooth count might be nicer than the finer 12 point cross cut Lee Valley sells. I think I might rather pick up another rip saw and file it crosscut.
Anyone have any thoughts?
I've already got an 11 point x-cut panel saw, and a 14 point carcass saw, I feel like I'd like something a little more aggressive than those in a tenon saw, but maybe I'm misguided.
