There were no changes to the Shark 10 in its rebranding
The same is true for me. The manufacturer was contacted as well. It is only the blade they sell. It may be possible to find some offbeat names on Amazon. I looked at the price difference last time, but I didn't think it was enough to warrant taking the risk. I hope you have a great day!
We are lucky to be able to cut soft woods without kinking the blade on these little saws. This is not the tool you want to use to cut aluminum.
There is no blade in the temporary retail case, but it has a removable guard

What I mean is. Even so, it shouldn't be marketed as a dovetail saw. The saw cuts flush or saws small pieces well but shouldn't be marketed as a dovetail saw. In order for it to produce accurate cuts for dovetails, the kerf is too thick and there is too much flex. * Also, always watch out for any metal that might be behind your cuts (finishing nails) as these saw blades are not designed to work with metal. In spite of the blade being removable, the makers do not sell replacement blades for the first saw I bought. I ruined the first one by sawing into hidden pin nails I didn't know were there. The saw is inexpensive enough to replace just by purchasing a new one.
wanted to cut a lot of small wooden dowels with a good saw. There are many things I've done The miter box back saw, the traditional dovetail saw, and the razor saw precisely follow in their names. The best of the three. This had relatively small kerfs, a fast cutting blade and a very minimal tear on the blade. From the inside as a The cut has been Additionally, the cut was aggressively cut and hissed on the pull, providing a satisfying experience. A great feature is the pull design, since there is no compressive tension on the blade, so buckling risks are eliminated with a thin blade, which eliminates the need for
Overall, I think it is a good package. *A word of caution Sharp tooth points can be seen on many teeth. Floating them over metal does not take a lot of bouncing before they become so smooth that they float over the wood instead of cutting it. At the end of a cut, I brushed against the jaw of a vice as I was attempting to cut against a piece held in a vice. There is a problem with the middle 4 inches of the blade.
The pull saw I own is awesome. All I wish I had done years ago was to buy one of these. When I use this saw, I have to be careful because it is razor sharp. It requires much less effort to cut wood with this saw rather than a pushing saw, so it is easier to control and it takes much less effort. Almost no splintering occurs in the cuts, which are fine and clean. Also, I use it to cut PVC pipe and boards and I have no complaints about it. Since the blade is removable, it seems as if Irwin sells replacements but there isn't a replacement blade available. Since the blade is the most expensive part of the saw, it is likely they have not calculated that people would take the opportunity to save a dollar by purchasing a blade only. There is a lack of interest on the part of plus stores in stocking replacement parts.
As with our 11th house project, we have begun using plastic trim, mdf, and other types.
Power tools are overkill for trim that is just 1". In our usual hand saws, the tooth gaps left gaps in the plastic, which led to it being ripped apart.
This. I am stunned. This knife has been in my hands multiple times per week for two months now. There is an incredible amount of precision here. As well as the flexibility, the overall experience was good. This turned out to be perfect for cutting back foam spray along walls and floors. In some cases, the flex can make cutting some things harder, so be aware that you must sometimes work around it. This keeps cutting for no apparent reason. I am not certain how long it takes for the blade to fill, but at this price, it has already paid for itself, so I intend to invest in another when it is full.
I already have two of them and will certainly order more. These saws are ideal for flush cutting dowels - they cut fast and clean, and they cost about $30. I use them to store data, which is what they are My profession is as a hobby woodworker rather than a full-time one Since I am only a part-time woodworker, I am only able to speak to my use of them on the occasional weekend. It is very easy to use, but as with any tool, it takes time, experience, and practice In my experience however, I have found it simple to cut dadoes with them and to make cuts in softwood with them. Regardless of their purpose, they are sharp and make fast work of whatever you tackle with them. Although they are pull saws, they are very accurate. It might take a few minutes for you to get used to them. I have ordered a Japanese pull saw that is significantly more expensive, but for the price point and the work I have them do they are great!.
Using it to make some clean cuts in hickory is what I bought. While practicing on some scrap wood, I encountered a bit of a learning curve since I hadn't really used a pull saw before. One of the axe handles I have is too long on the bottom. I plan to shorten it an inch or two. My little table saw cut with great precision and left just a little sawdust behind.
After cutting, the handles only required a light sanding (with the grain) with 220 grit and some linseed oil. With a bit of flex, the blade cuts flush with minimal collateral damage, and I could see it being useful for flush cutting dowels. My use of this will probably last for some time before it needs to be replaced.
To get the tropical hardwoods thin and small, I had to cut thin pieces of the wood As a hobbyist I have played a variety of games Despite choking on most of the wood I use, I tried using these saws. I'm amazed at how sharp this saw is Still, I have to exercise caution and move slowly, because there is such a small kerf, anything harder/denser than maple can damage the saw. That is a problem with pretty much any saw capable of cutting on a small It is important to know that the blade is quite flexible, so if you're trying to make straight flat cuts, you shouldn't press too hard, as the blade is designed to be a pull-out blade There was something.
A very thin kerf and a very sharp edge. There's a lot of flexibility to it, and it comes in handy for flush cuts. I've damaged a couple of them when I hit hidden staples or nails. They seem to last quite a while, other than that. There are some reviews that mention that Irwin doesn't make replacement blades, but now that I think about it, it's kind of pointless. Just buying the blade and it needs the plastic handle to be held is sufficient. Therefore, it should be considered a disposable knife and the "handle" should not be reused.
