Veritas Magnetic Saw Guide, 14" (350 mm). These anodized aluminum guides help keep a saw square to a workpiece. They are particularly useful when crosscutting tenon shoulders or defining the edges of a dado, since the guide helps a backsaw track straight and true.

Held against a workpiece with a hand or secured with clamps (not included), it provides a registration surface, about 1-1/4" tall, to help maintain accuracy throughout the cut. The machined reference face has three embedded 1/2" dia. rare-earth magnets and is covered with a low-friction UHMW pad. The magnets help maintain tool contact with the guide while the pad allows tools to glide along the reference face.
The bottom of the guide has two high-friction strips to resist slipping on a surface. It also has a T-slot to accept a pair of 2" capacity clamps (available separately). These clamps make the guide easy to secure with accuracy, particularly if you have the use of only one hand.
The guides are available in 8" and 14" lengths.
Made in Canada. Patent pending.
Which handsaw to choose depends on the tooth pattern and the number of teeth per inch (tpi). Rip teeth cut along the grain and crosscut teeth across it. Few teeth give fast but rough cuts, and many teeth give slower, cleaner cuts.
Backsaws such as tenon saws and dovetail saws are used for precise joinery. The guide covers tooth patterns, sharpening and choosing a saw.
