Category: New Tenon Saws
Manufacturer: Spear & Jackson
Tool Type: Tenon Saw
Model No: 9540B
The Spear and Jackson Tenon Saw No. 9540B review covers the Spear and
Jackson saw made by Spear and Jackson.
The Spear & Jackson Brass Back Tenon Saw (9540B) is a traditional
tenon saw with the traditional look and features.
The Spear & Jackson Tenon Saw is fitted with a wooden handle made
from Beech giving a comfortable, tactile feel.
The handle is secured to the blade with the use of three brass nuts,
one of which is faced with a medallion marked 'SJ' with the Crown logo
above it.
The blade is made from hardened and tempered carbon steel which has been given
15 PPI (Points Per Inch).
The teeth employ a universal tooth setup allowing the saw to be used effectively
along the grain (rip) and across the grain (crosscut).
The universal tooth setup is a good all-round tooth setup however it may be noted
it may not necessarily be a master of one or the other.
The handle on this tenon saw is marked 'Spear & Jackson'. The blade on this
saw is marked 'Spear & Jackson, Traditional Brass Back Tenon Saw 15PPI' and
the Spear & Jackson website address.
The blade on this saw is 10 inch long and has 15ppi (points per inch). 15ppi gives
a smooth cut.
This saw can be resharpened again and again and again and again...
The model number / product number for this tenon saw is 9540B.
Spear & Jackson also offer a very similar saw with a dark handle in the form
of the
Spear & Jackson Brass Back Tenon Saw (5410Y).
Spear & Jackson have a long history of saw making which include a number of
old Spear & Jackson tenon saw designs with the
Spear & Jackson No. 52 Tenon Saw
being probably the most famous.
