One and Two Man Cross Cut Saw

One and Two Man Cross Cut Saw

One of our most popular mail order requests, the One and Two Man Cross Cut Saws have proved to be a much sought after product. These large saws are used mostly in forestry work and the crosscutting of large logs. The teeth on the Two Man Cross Cut Saws work in a way that the teeth cut on the pull stroke on each side of the tooth and so actually cut in each pulling direction. The 3 foot One Man Cross Cut Saw is provided with an auxiliary handle and the Two Man Cross Cut Saws come with two wooden handles. Available in a range of sizes to suit your needs.
Sizing advice: we recommend a saw length that is double the size of wood you are wanting to cut. This is to ensure that you can get enough stroke in your cutting.

Robert Sorby Spiralling & Texturing System

Robert Sorby Spiralling & Texturing System

The Robert Sorby Spiralling and Texturing System offers the finest way to add decorations such as spirals to turned pieces, once dominated by only priviledged turners. The Robert Sorby Spiralling System is a further development on the texturing tool and is used to create both left and right handed spirals with ease. It features an innovative rest with indexed reference positionsm which enable the replication of the spirals. Differing pitch and twist profiles are made possible by altering the presentation angle of the cutter or by changing the cutter to a different one.

The Texturing Tool is part of the system and includes a graduated rest and 2mm, 4mm and 6mm Spiralling Cutters. Items also available individually.

With these you can create spiral goblets, candle holders, boxes, vases, bowls and spillikins. There are also 5mm and 11mm cutters available as optional extras.

A useful tip: sharpening the cutters is easy - simply rub a diamond file flat on each of the bevels. This will keep the cutter in top condition!

NEW!! Gorilla Tape

NEW!! Gorilla Tape


Gorilla Tape... Taking Tape to a Tougher Extreme! Extra Thick...Extra Stick!
This new tape takes tape to a new level ... the New Gorilla Tape sticks to things ordinary tapes can't - metal, glass, brick, stucco, wood and more.
The reason for its strength is due to its construction. Here are the top 3 reasons why Gorilla Glue can boast to be so tough:
1. It's Double Thick Adhesive - the thicker the adhesive the better the tape. Double thick aggressive adhesive, laid on extra thick (17mm), fills in gaps for a stickier grip - especially in applications involving rough, porous or imperfect surfaces.
2. Strong Reinforced Backing - A tight weave reinforced backing, woven for improved conformability to surface features, contribute to Gorilla Tape's unique heft and unsurpassed ease of use. Incredibly strong - yet can still be ripped by hand, another massive advantage!
3. Tough All-Weather Shell - The shiny black exterior you see is how Gorilla Tape withstands the elements better, with tough abrasion resistance and a tight barrier against moisture.

Available in two lengths.

Eclipse 94-370R Saw Tooth Setter

Eclipse 94-370R Saw Tooth Setter

£21.89

The Spear & Jackson Eclipse Saw Tooth Setter will enable you set the teeth on your saw.
Set is the amount by which the teeth on a saw protrude from the side of the blade. It is the set which creates the kerf to be wider than the blade and therefore prevents binding as the non-cutting part of the saw blade enters the cut. This allows easier cutting and good control. The teeth need to be alternately set on both sides so that equal numbers of teeth protrude from each side of the blade. This item comes with instructions and is indivdually blister packed.

Length: 180mm (7.1/8") Height: 90mm (3.1/2")
