I wanted to draw attention to these new saws from Veritas because they are available for the next couple of weeks at a low price. I currently use one of their dovetail saws and am very happy with it. I haven’t experienced these new saws, but at half the price of the equivalent Lie Nielsen saws and if they are up to the usual high Veritas standard, they would be a good option if you are looking to get a new rip or crosscut saw (or both for less than $90 each).

10 December 2013 at 4:06 am #23452Dang it! My christmas budget is starting to take a beating. I’ve been waiting on these saws to come out for several months. I have the dovetail and carcass saw, both rip, and have been very satisfied with them. Sometimes I need a little more depth of cut.
Decisions, decisions….10 December 2013 at 9:21 am #23468Well… guys its a lot of excitement about those new saws.I don’t have chance to try them but if any one interested I will be in the local Lee Valley store this Thursday I can try them. I don’t have any plans to buy them, my humble opinion is…. I really don’t know why they did it this dimensions??? 16″ long blade and 9 tpi rip to coarse for small tenons, 12 tpi crosscut with this parameters 16″ to long ,up to 4″ deep cut its not a panel saw.. don’t know, I cant see reason why they made it. You can buy any old 12″,14″ saw for half of the price include shipping. Just my opinion, I can be wrong, still if any one interested before placing orders let me know i will try them if they have them in the stock this Thursday.
10 December 2013 at 2:33 pm #23506They do look cool. Last thing I need is more saws.I have the rip and cross cut carcass saw but never use them. I like the weight of my “old” saws better. I wouldn’t have a specific use for it. I would rather have a short panel saw like PS.
10 December 2013 at 7:04 pm #23542I do have their carcass saws and they work great, I am not particularly found of the looks but can’t knock how they work. I personally prefer older vintage saws myself.
