Flush trim saw

Really interesting layout for the handle and it looks so much easier and more comfortable to use that way.

Great idea.

Yeah! Great idea.

Now that was time well spent. Much more comfortable and leaves you with a better finished cut, I'll bet.

Good idea and it works better than I would have expected.

Most saw blades, including miter saw blades, have teeth that stick out very slightly to each side in a alternating pattern. This can cause scratches when used as a flush saw but it did not here.

As an FYI - A true flush saw has teeth that are perfectly straight and, in theory, do not leave scratches.

May I suggest you tape some sandpaper under the blade for finishing in one pass?

Hey- I need one of those too!

@Sodabowski - only if you saw with the grain. Can't always do that.

Did you stone the "bottom" side of the blade to remove the set?

No I didn't stone this saw blade.
Because the teeth where so small and they don't give any scratches on the wood.
I also made one of an old saw and I did stone that one.
Also work very good.

Real Dutch ingenuity! "Knap gedaan", well done. (That is Afrikaans, but I think you will understand!)

Thank you all, it was fun to make and to share with you.
