SAW TEETH.
As a possible means of assistance to our customers, we show in the following
cuts the different grades of Saw Teeth. The degree of coarseness or fineness
in Hand Saws is expressed in Points, and Saws should always be ordered in
this way. The number of points in a saw is one more than the number of
teeth. For example, an 8 Point saw has but 7 teeth. Please observe this
in ordering.

PANEL SAWS.
HAND SAWS.
Panel and rip saws on Ebay. More old tools text follows.
RIP SAWS The 22 inch small Rip or Splitting Saw will be found an exceedingly useful tool for light work. We have these with 6 and 7 points to the inch. In former days we used to sell about ten 28 inch Rip Saws to one 26 inch, but this order of things has been almost reversed, and now the 26 inch Saws are sold at about the rate of four to one of the other. We carry in stock the 26 inch Rip Saw with 5, 51, 6 and 7 points to the inch. The 28 inch with 41, 5, 54 and 6 points to the inch.
NO. 98 HAND SAW. This is our leading Skew Back Saw It is what is known as Full Skew Back' has Close-up Polished Applewood Handle, 5 Improved Screws, Polished Edge, and is in all other respects the same as our No. 96 Saw (Fig. 3510). Prices are the same as the No. 96. Sizes are also the same excepting that in the No. 98 we do not carry the 18 inch Panel, 30 inch Hand or 22 inch Rip Saws.
NO. 100 HAND SAW The Nos. 100 and 102 are our finest Saws; they are what might be termed "Fancy" Saws,
the plates being selected and the finish throughout extra fine, in fact we
think they are the handsomest Saws in the market.
As regards quality of steel, temper and all essential working points, they
are no better than our Nos. 96 and 98, for the simple reason that the Nos.
96 and 98 are about as good Saws as can be made. They are just intended for
those mechanics who want something extra nice and are willing to pay for it.
