Made in Sheffield, the Dorchester rip saw 26" makes short work of ripping down boards or re-sawing dimensioned material. The hardened and tempered saw plate is taper ground to minimise friction without reducing tension and the tooth line is breasted to ensure maximum contact as your shoulder swings through the stroke.
Used on low trestles or a sawyers bench with one knee clamping the work down, the saw is lifted and allowed to almost fall through the work under its own weight. For very thin boards a shallower angle of incidence will bring more teeth into contact giving a smoother cut, for thicker stuff keep the saw more perpendicular.
