E.T. Roberts & Lee 'Dorchester' Panel Saw manufactured by Thomas Flinn & Co.
Roberts & Lee handsaws are some of the finest handsaws available today. Using the history and tradition of the Dorchester range, these saws are still made to original specifications. Handcrafted from the finest alloy steel these saws are taper ground and breasted (meaning less teeth are in contact with the wood and therefore less friction) and are precisely set and sharpened by hand to ensure the best possible cut without binding.
The handle is made from the finest American Black Walnut finished with Danish Oil to offer the ultimate comfort and grip.
With a variation of teeth sizes per inch, there is a Handsaw for every type of work and will give you a different type of cut/finish depending on what you require.
