Gramercy dovetail saw

A lot of research has gone into the specific design of Gramercy’s new dovetail saw, the result is probably the best dovetail saw produced today. In their own words:

‘We wanted a hand-filed and hand-set saw for the smoothest action, a fine toothed saw for fast, smooth cuts, and we wanted to file it rip so it would cut dovetails cleanly…we also wanted a light saw and a canted blade (narrower at the toe than at the heel) for easy control that would enable you to work for hours without being hunched over the work’.

We believe they have achieved all this and more.

       
The saw has a 9" blade which is canted for ease of use, with a usable cutting depth of only 1.3" near the handle, and 1.2" at the toe. The handle is made from American Black Walnut, a solid, light, stable wood which is locally sourced by Gramercy and sustainable. The handle is small and light for a three finger grip and is also cranked up so that you can work with a natural swing to your stroke, near to the work so that you can see what you are doing (no more crouching and squinting).

The 19ppi blade is made of .018" (slightly over 2mm) thick 1095, a hard carbon tool steel of about 50-52rc. The thinner stock means a lighter saw and a narrower kerf - less material to remove means it's easier to use. The teeth are hammer set and hand-filed to enable use of an aggressive cut. The rake angle is zero.  It is hand filed, which gives a very smooth action, and makes it easy to start.

Comes boxed and includes instructions for sawing. Made in USA.
