Hi there! I have read that the Stanley 42x is the best saw set. I want to know, are there others that are equally as good? My dovetail saw is 20 ppi. How about the one sold by Highland Woodworking: https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=908&strVarSel=&strCompare= Thanks, Robert
Hi Robert, Welcome to the forum, that blue somax saw set is the one I use mostly for small teeth. The Stanley 42X is pretty good as well and some people prefer the pistol grip style to the plier style. The somax is a copy of the eclipse 77, and you can often pick them up for next to nothing. Although the standard 77 is a bit coarse for 20 tpi. You can regrind the plunger on the 77 to suit smaller teeth. My preference is the Blue Somax for small teeth. Regards Ray
I too use the Blue Somax which is rated 12-26pt. You can get one from www.toolsforwoodworkingwood.com $12.95 2008 For anything less I use the Eclipse 77..I have 4-5. It is so smooth . Maybe I will try cutting back a plunger as suggested. Roger
