Veritas Rip Gent's Saw, 20 tpi

Gent's tools were originally developed for "gentleman's" tool kits, intended for those who wanted good-quality tools for occasional work, but didn't need full-size equipment.

Sharing the same advanced materials as the Veritas dovetail and carcass saws, the Gent's saws have a 7 7/8" long high-carbon steel blade just 0.015" thick with 0.003" set per side. The 20 tpi rip saw has teeth with a 14° rake angle and a 60° included angle. The teeth on the 22 tpi crosscut saw have a rake angle of 15°, an included angle of 60° and have been filed with alternating 15° bevel angles so that they sever rather than tear wood fibers.

Both saws have a cut depth of 1 5/8". For strength and rigidity, the glass and stainless steel-filled polymer spine is molded over the blade and handle stud. The 4 1/4" long bubinga handle is secured with a brass nut.
