ITEM DESCRIPTION

Antique hand tools - PREMIUM QUALITY saw S454

Up for sale is a hard to find Premium Quality WILLIAM MARPLES & Sons of SHEFFIELD 10” Brass Backed DOVETAIL SAW

A 10" / 255mm plate, this saw has been hand sharpened to 5° of rake & is a fine cutting 14PPI rip profile. A 58mm deep plate that is 0.6mm thick. Circa 1939-45.
A heavy folded brass back & war finish hardware, this is a saw from the "later Years" of saw manufacture to the mid 20th century, when their skill was at it's zenith & the materials were high quality & makers took pride in their work & stood by their tools as a quality product, carpenters weren't using hand held circular saws yet, so they needed saws that worked well & held an edge.

This saw is for the woodworker that is happy to work unplugged, you'll know what I mean when you read this, it's like fast food vs slow food, it's getting back to the heart of woodworking & using your hands, not flicking a switch.

It cuts well, please note all sharpened saws are fully guaranteed, if it fails your expectations of a sharp saw, send it back in the condition that I sent it to you for your money back- simple.
Please note any blue colour you can see on the tooth line is engineers set out fluid- our saw Dr (Jim the saw man) uses it to keep track of where he's filed- if you've ever sharpened a saw that will make sense to you.

Weight: 470g

Length: 38cm
