## Description

Spear & Jackson 9550B Traditional Brass Back Tenon : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Awesome saw! - 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!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the teeth designed for cross cut or rip cut?  Or are they cross cut with flat faces in the direction of cutting?**
A: The saw arrives with teeth filed for cross cutting.  Spear and Jackson markets this saw as all purpose rip and crosscutting and the saw will indeed do both well.  The teeth are easily modified to a rip pattern if you have a saw file.  One last thing to keep in mind is that these saws are frequently over-set, meaning the teeth are set a bit too far perpendicular to the blade.  This problem can be rectified in a matter of seconds by tapping the teeth between two hammer heads along the length of the blade.  With 10 minutes of work re-sharpening and relaxing the set, the saw will perform rip cuts or crosscuts as well as saws that cost 3 times as much.

**Q: Depth of cut?**
A: 3 1/8”

**Q: What is the thickness of the saw plate in 1,000 ths?**
A: About 24 thousandths

**Q: Is this saw made in uk or taiwan like spear and jackson saws?**
A: I've researched this issue with a different English brand saw. It boils down to the legal definition of "country of origin". While the product meets the English definition to be labeled "Made in England", the manufacturing process fails meet the standards set by the United States to label England as the country of origin and be sold in the United States as "Made in England". therefore they must identify Taiwan as the country of origin. So both answers are correct depending on the country they are being sold in.  FYI: to be labeled "Made In The USA" all phases of an items production must have take place in the United States.
