Description

The Veritas® Carcass Ripcut Saw reflects the same design principles Veritas® used to develop their innovative dovetail saws, adopting selected traits of traditional carcass saws and producing them using innovative materials and modern manufacturing methods. Typically used to cut joints in drawer runners, dividers, and stretchers (the framework or carcass of a piece), this saw is well balanced, maneuverable, and scaled for smaller work than a tenon saw.The ripcut version features 12 TPI with a 10° rake angle and an included angle of 60° for efficient cutting parallel to the grain. The teeth have relatively minimal set, at only 0.003″ per side.Each saw has a molded spine that incorporates stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness, and an advanced polymer binder. An over-molded blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt create a solid one-piece blade/spine/mount assembly, and a single brass fastener secures the hardwood handle. The open-grip handle, made larger than those of classic carcass saws, permits a comfortable, secure grip. The high-carbon steel blade, 11″ long and 0.02″ thick, has a cut depth of about 2-3/8″. The saw is 16-3/8″ long overall and weighs just under a pound.
