Saw Catalog Features Hard-To-Find Logging Tools
WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 29-5-10 If you don't know the difference between a German Tuttle Tooth saw and a Perforated Lance Tooth saw, you might want to order a catalog from the Crosscut Saw Co. It's a veritable encyclopedia of one and two-man saws, sharpening supplies, handles and other logging paraphernalia.
Anyone who works with logs from the smallest woodlot owner to professional loggers will appreciate the wide variety of tools featured. They include peaveys, log rests and timber carriers, pickeroons, axes, mauls and machetes. Brush hooks, pruning hooks, scythe hooks and grass hooks are also carried.
Anybody who has ever rolled a log with a peavey knows what a help it can be. Log rests are as necessary for chain saws as for hand saws. They pick the log up off the ground away from rocks and dirt that can damage saw teeth and chain saw cutting edges alike.
What really makes the catalog unique is its crosscut saws and related devices. Crosscut Saw Co. is the last U.S. manufacturer of crosscut saws. Its traditional style saws are intended for everyday use and, according to the company, are a "labor of love" for users.
To work most efficiently, crosscut saws have to be adjusted for the tree species and even the moisture content of the wood. When properly adjusted, the wood shavings are clean and the saw pulls easily. Improperly adjusted crosscut saws are sometimes known as "misery whips."
The company does its part to make sure there is less misery and more easy pulling. In addition to the variety of one and two-man saws, saw handles and carrying bags, they sell tools and manuals to keep saws in top shape. They also sell files, hammer set/sharpening kits, and a dial indicator set gauge to accurately measure side clearance (set) on saw blades. Other manuals include vintage saw catalogs from the early 1900's, loaded with illustrations.
The catalog also carries log building tools including log scribes, draw shavers and socket slicks. Wood workers will appreciate tools like the inshave and the scorp for roughing out bowls, chair seats or other concave items.
