Description
I am selling many of my fine tools (Bridge City, Lie Nielsen, etc.). Many of these tools are brand new, or have only been on display in my tool cabinets/chests. Many are no longer made and are becoming hard to acquire.This auction is for a Rob Cosman Professional Dovetail Saw. This has the bone resin handle (more expensive option). I only tried it out to see how it works. I must say that it works beautifully. This is a very very nice saw. I just have too many tools and I am whittling it down a bit. The work that went into the box that it came in tells you something about the quality of the tool. The current price on these saws is around 0 now. This will be a wonderful tool to add to your collection or to use when doing your finest hand tool woodworking.

Blade
. Each of our dovetail saw blades is made from .020 thick, spring steel.
Tooth Geometry.
Filed rip with a two-stage pitch. The first two inches of each dovetail saw is filed at 22 teeth per inch (TPI) and a 30 degree negative tooth rake, which allows you to easily start a cut. The rest of the blade is filed at 15 tpi and a 0 degree tooth rake allowing you to finish the cut with just a few strokes.
Set.
Unlike most saw manufacturers who stamp out their saw teeth, leaving "dimples" in the blade, we individually cut out each of our saw teeth with a diamond saw. This allows us to maintain a very slight set of only .002 inch (per side), since we don't introduce that "dimple" onto the blade. This slight set produces a narrow .024 inch kerf that eliminates slop allowing the saw blade to accurately track in the saw kerf resulting in dead straight saw cuts with smooth ready-to-glue surfaces.
Brass Back:
Rob Cosman dovetail saws have a 1/4″ thick x 7/8″ wide brass back secured to the blade with peened and flushed copper pins. Not only does the brass look wonderful but it imparts extra weight to the saw, as compared to other saws, that provides you a better balanced saw, allows the saw to do the cutting work, and helps you "feel" perpendicular.
Handle.
Our unique "pistol grip" handles have memory enhancing carved finger recesses for a perfect and comfortable fit. A pair of brass split nuts secures the handle to the blade and the brass back. Our standard saw handles are available in Swanstone, a resin-composite material reinforced with glass for durability.
Handle Size & Determining your Size:
Our handles come in two sizes: Regular and Large. Please refer to the picture above showing how to measure your hand and determine what size handle is correct for you size hand.
