FS 8, 9, 10 ,11, 12 PPI Vintage Disston Cross cut Saws

[Mike Allen1010]

Now that we've moved to our empty-nesters house, I have way too many saws and it's time to thin the herd. I've been restoring, sharpening, tuning and using hand saws for 40 years, and at the risk of sounding like an arrogant jerk, I'm really, really good at it. I guarantee these saws to be the best users in your shop or I will gladly refund your money and pay return shipping. This is not my business – all proceeds go to Angel Tree charity that supports children with incarcerated parents.

All totes have been cleaned, soaked in oil/varnish, two coats of shellac and paste wax. Any defects are noted. All plates are cleaned in Evaporust, scraped and polished through three different grit abrasives on the buffing wheel. Guaranteed to be slick, smooth and straight. Sharpening specs are: 8° of rake, 25° Fleam angle, 20° slope angle and set individually based on plate taper etc. to work well in kiln dried hardwoods and most soft woods that aren't soaking wet.

Priced to sell to woodworker who will enjoy and appreciate them. I pay shipping in CONUS. First person to PM me with "I'll take it" gets the saw. I can't see my PMs in real time but will respond within 24 hours. Once shipped, I'll p.m. you with tracking number, ETA etc. you pay me upon receipt, I prefer PayPal but whatever works best for you. Feel free to PM or call if you have any questions (858) 220 – 5611.

Thanks for looking and for supporting kids who really need the help!





#1) Disston, top-of-the-line post 1928 D-95, 12 PPI. Circa 1953 – 1955. Perfect carved rosewood tote with nickel fasteners. Full factory width plate with great taper: .040", .032", .025". Great finish crosscutter that I would absolutely keep if I didn't already have another one. $165.

#3) Atkins Phoenix brand, #53, 10 PPI. Beautiful carved walnut tote in the patented "Perfection" style handle – one of my favorites. Places the Sawyers hand closer to the tooth line than many other styles. Full factory width plate. Etch is not visible. One of my favorite, finish crosscutter's for furniture parts thicker than 4/4. $125.



#4) Disston #12, there premium top-of-the-line model. 9 PPI. Carved Applewood tote. I repaired the bottom horn and connecting piece which was missing when I got it. It is a totally solid great user, but you save some money because of the repair. Full factory width plate. Etch is not visible. My favorite pitch for crosscutting 4/4 stock – great combination of speed and smooth finish surface. $145.



#5) Disston D8. Circa 1930. Perfect Applewood tote. Full factory width plate. Etch is 90% visible. This is "saw that built America", and a fundamental part of the preindustrial woodworkers saw nest. $125.

You have saw 3 listed on both lines (for $100 and $115). I appreciate your skill in sharpening those. It's a skill I never learned.
