Spear & Jackson 9500R (B99) Traditional Handsaw 22" x 10 Points per Inch

ottimo strumento per taglio su tavole di legno anche di dimensioni generose pronta all'uso.

Va genial! Bien equilibrado y funciona perfecto nada más sacar de la caja. Es un serrucho clásico, de acero al carbono y sin dientes endurecidos ni tonterías: Como los de toda la vida, puedes afilar los dientes en vez de tirarlo y comprar uno nuevo como hace todo el mundo con los serruchos modernos. Alta calidad, bajo precio y dura toda la vida. Si he de ponerle alguna pega, diría que el mango es un poco grueso para mi gusto. Los dientes vienen afilados de fábrica a 30º para aserrar madera perpendicularmente, Para cortar longitudinalmente (en la dirección de la veta) mucho más rápido, recomiendo afilar los dientes a 0º.

This is a great traditional saw, although the handle is atrocious. I recommend looking up Paul Sellers' tutorial on how to reshape the handle as it is actually incredible how much of a difference a different handle shape makes. Overall great saw, but the handle is really uncomfortable.

This is truly an excellent saw for the price! Paul Sellers was right... If you don't know how to sharpen you can use it immediately after purchasing it just wipe off the factory applied protective cover to prevent it from rusting and it's working fine. However it is worth sharpening it's not that hard teeth are quite big one pass with the file on the gullet and the cutting will be even smoother and the finish will be nicer. Paul sellers has you tube videos how to sharpen cross/rip. The saw cuts amazingly as a crosscut with the default tooth arrangement. The saw blade is medium thick the saw does not bend the handle is very comfortable for me! The only minor downside is the pins instead of screws but at this price there's nothing to complain about... I've had them for over 2 years and every now and then I just need to hit the pins and the saw sits perfectly in the holder again. Just wipe with cloth+oil after each use and you get a lifetime tool. I bought a second one and sharpened it as RIP. At this price maybe it's even worth buying two as a spare:) I know what I'm saying because I've used more expensive saws - see in the photo that I have one Lie Nielsen and I think that we really don't lose much and it simply doesn't make sense to pay 5 times as much. 100% recommendation!

I do hand tool woodworking making furniture and other smaller projects. I bought this saw to see what I could make of it - I am tired of buying new saw plates for my Japanese saws. I'd rather have saws I can keep and fix up. I figured the 10ppi skew back saw would make a good all round crosscut saw and let me get started learning how to cut on a push stroke. Out of the box my saw had a lot of friction and made super rough ragged cuts. I stripped a rubbery lacquer off the saw plate and narrowed the set by a lot. I also reshaped the tote. It took me a day of tuning and practicing, but by the time I was done, I was able to cut an eighth-inch slice of mahogany end grain freehand and the saw leaves a really nice finish that needs very little work to clean up. I plan to use it as my all-round crosscut workhorse saw. Regardless of what the company says, I wouldn't want to use this to rip anything more than a board foot at most. It isn't efficient for that. I'm rating 5 stars not for the saw's usability out of the box but because it's a reasonable price and with enough work you can make this a really refined tool. I particularly like being able to shape the tote to my hand.
