As a treat to me, I’m contemplating a new dovetail saw, Rip pattern.
There are a number in the frame, including all the usual suspects, Lie-Nielsen, Veritas et al.
Now, I find that L-N’s quality is very good but (in my opinion), overpriced in the UK, so I'm looking for an alternative.
I have used a Roberts and Lee Dorchester cross-cut that I’m very fond of for some years, now and they are currently part of the Thomas Flinn Empire, so, trying to stay British, what is the user’s verdict on Pax saws?
Anyone got one? Constructive views would be very welcome.
As a postscript, what's the opinion on variable pitch saws? I've never used one of these - is it a fad or something useful?
