Thank you. It's a bit dear, compared to most of the other saws, but now that I've seen it in action in so many excellent woodworker's shops, I really must try this saw(though I'm just an amateur;) tool fetish?....cheers rr Normandy, Fra.
Do the example you have shown in this video have pins on the blades (pegas skip tooth blades) Can these saws take both types (ones with or without pins) does it matter for woodworkers?
Knew makes one model of coping saw that uses pinned blades, the others are fret saws that use no pin blades. I find the fret saw a better option for woodworking.
I also have the same 5" version but the handle isnt as nice as yours... great saw and im very happy with it too. When it comes to blades did you try many before settling on the SK7 or have you been using them blades for some time.
Aircraft aluminum is a marketing term. It has absolutely no metallurgical meaning. Same with the marketing term "surgical steel;" another entirely meaningless term. Metals have designations that are more specific than some stick waving term like "aircraft." And you will find all manner of aluminum alloys on aircraft. For example there is 1100, 2014, 5062, 6061, 6063 Etc and they tend to lend themselves to different applications. For example gall and spall resistance when bending or weldability. I'd bet they made their aluminum saw frames from 6063 because it can be heat treated and has excellent resistance to tensile deformation.
Thank you David. I had trouble finding out the pros and cons of the lever vs screw options. You answered that for me!
Watched all the new videos!! Thank you for the free tips and your work!
No problem!

Great video - especially the info on the blade start and finish.
More great videos, thanks David
Thank you I'm glad you like them
Absolutely wonderful video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you this helped me make my choice easily. Very useful vid cheers
Dave, I really enjoy your videos and love your work. I am working my way through all of your videos. Do you by chance have a shop tour video?
Bought this saw and it really makes things so much easier!
Nice video. How was it for marquetry work ?
Thanks David, I have the 5" dose every thing I need
Hi Ken, yes that's the one I use most. All the best, David.

Have you compared the new concept with the Bruce spruce?
6 months? I have broken 3 in my first week trying to figure out this damn saw. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

The handle was a nice present from a customer. I worked out the best blade early on and I've been using the SK7 for years. All the best, David.
Hallo where to buy please
The reach of the saw is actually twice the depth of the frame... just come from the other side ! :-)
steampower style tool
