Description: SIMONDS NO 8-1/2 CROSSCUT HAND SAW Here is a Simonds No 8-1/2 crosscut hand saw in very good condition - minor blemishes and marks on handle and plate. Add this to your collection or put the finely tuned ripper to work in your till. The saw is a 26” 8 ppi crosscut saw. It is hand sharpened with 12 degrees of rake and 20 degrees of fleam. The plate has some pits and staining due to age, but has been cleaned up to a nice polish and sports a readable etch. The tooth line is straight, but not perfectly so. There is a very slight wiggle as you get near the end of the plate. I have added a bit more set to account for this slight imperfection. The handle has is in excellent condition with only slight nicks that only add to this saws charm and beauty. The handle was finished with an oil and wax treatment, so I just added on 5 coats of shellac to make it slightly more durable. All my saws have been refinished with care. First I clean the plate with a bit of elbow grease. If needed, I soak the saw plate in evaporust for at least 24 hours to neutralize the rust before sanding up to 2000 grit. Care is taken to save any etch. The saw plate is then waxed to protect. All efforts to save old finish are taken - just a light clean up with steel wool, a thin application of shellac, and wax. Only if necessary, the handles are stripped of old finish, sanded, oiled, and shellaced. I apply 10 coats of homemade shellac and sand with 0000# steelwool between each coat. The handles are beautiful, and feels fantastic in the hand. Hardware is sanded and polished. All of my saws are hand sharpened with care. My passion is restoring old tools and great care is taken to ensure quality results - please see my reviews for reference. Please see pictures for more details and if you have questions, please ask. In order to ensue shipment with appropriate insurance, a flat rate shipping rate is applied that meets the maximum amount I will charge. If you would like a more accurate shipping rate, please contact me before purchase and I can apply it to a new invoice prior to payment.
