Universal saws: fine-cut

The saws on this page are ideal if you need a general-purpose saw (for cross-, rip- and slant-cutting) which leaves a very fine finish. All the saws on this page have more than 15 TPI (teeth per inch): their faster-cutting cousins can be found on other pages including the one featuring fast universal saws. Click here for a page containing links to a variety of demonstration videos, manuals and data sheets to help you find the right tool for your project. If the saw you are interested in is out of stock, why not bookmark this page so that you can come back in a couple of weeks to check again. Alternatively please feel free to e-mail me for further details or to reserve a saw from my next consignment.

1.4mm (18 TPI) 180mm 0.5mm 0.66mm    

A very small saw, this, and may therefore find a place in one of your toolboxes. Can also be used with the mini saw guide. Like all screw-fitting blades it will fit any screw-fitting handle.

  Buy the saw (blade and handle) for £12.30 (RRP £12.95)
  Buy a replacement blade for £7.51 (RRP £7.91)

This saw is excellent for cutting plastic pipe, but is also very good for cutting general timber. The standard handle is the one shown but like all screw-fitting blades it will fit any screw-fitting handle.

  Buy the saw (blade and handle) for £13.38 (RRP £14.08)

1.5mm (16 TPI) mm 0.5mm 0.66mm    

A great general-purpose saw, normally supplied with the rattan-wound wooden handle. If you are less traditional you can also choose a straight plastic-covered aluminium handle (which may be black, blue or red) or a plastic pistol-grip handle. This blade will also fit the fantastic puff handle.

  Buy the saw (blade and handle) for £23.62 (RRP £24.86)
  Buy a replacement blade for £11.81 (RRP £12.43)
  Buy an aluminium handle for £11.81 (RRP £12.43)

PITCH BLADE LENGTH BLADE THICKNESS KERF    
1.4mm (18 TPI)* 250mm 0.5mm 0.7mm    

A little bit different, this one: instead of a single blade it has crosscut teeth on one edge and rip-cut teeth on the other. Like all screw-fitting blades it will fit any screw-fitting handle, but many people have found that a pistol-grip handle lessens the versatility of the saw. Normally supplied with the rattan-wound wooden handle shown, but a straight plastic handle is also available.

  Buy the saw (blade and handle) for £30.07 (RRP £32.65)
  Buy a replacement blade for £16.11 (RRP £16.96)
          Buy a plastic handle for £10.26 (RRP £10.80)
     

       *TPI and pitch data relates to the crosscut edge only.

Probably my biggest seller, this is an excellent general-purpose saw and is the one recommended for use with the standard and free-angle saw guides. The standard handle is the one shown but like all screw-fitting blades it will fit any screw-fitting handle.
"For cutting the long pins in the hard sycamore I tried out all the saws I had. Fastest was.xxxxx.but it was not the most accurate. That accolade fell to the saw guide and saw that is tested in this issue" (Furniture & Cabinet Making Magazine issue 145). And as one customer put it, "this saw is a magnificent piece of kit".

  Buy the saw (blade and handle) for £19.16 (RRP £20.17) 
  Buy a replacement blade for £10.24 (RRP £10.78)
