Fast rip and crosscuts
May 27, 2015
Fast rip and crosscuts
At 14 in. long, this saw is 2 in. longer than every other saw tested, and it also had the thinnest saw plate. Its kerf was tied for the narrowest. All of this makes a big difference in how fast the saw cuts. It took the top spot in the ripcut and tied for first in crosscut speed tests.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Lie-Nielsen No. 102 Low Angle Block Plane
With smooth, precise adjustments and wonderful balance, this compact block plane is a joy to use. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles, but there’s not a better block plane available for the money.
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
Veritas Micro-Adjust Wheel Marking Gauge
The adjuster runs through the beam from a small knob at the back end right to the cutting wheel, which moves in and out as you turn the knob. This arrangement works well but makes adjustments a two-handed operation, requiring a little more effort.
