Temple Tool Co Japanese Timber Framing 2-Saw Combo
The Temple Tool Co. Timber Framing 2-Saw Combo pairs a powerful rip-cut and crosscut saw, giving you the complete toolkit for tackling timber framing in both directions of the grain. Description Step up your timber framing game with this two-saw set from Temple Tool Co. Featuring both the Timber Framing Rip-Cut Saw and the Temagari Crosscut Saw, this combination gives you complete control over large-scale joinery — whether you're ripping along the grain or crosscutting structural timbers. What's Included Temple Tool Co. Japanese Timber Framing Saw | Rip-Cut | 390mm (TMT-T-390R) Temple Tool Co. Japanese Timber Framing Saw | Crosscut | 390mm (TMT-T-390C) Inspired by the legendary Maebiki "whale back" saw and expertly crafted in Japan, both saws feature progressive tooth patterns, impulse-hardened SK85 Japanese tool steel blades, and a signature 30-degree bent Wingnut handle wrapped in natural rattan — built for power, leverage, and long days on the job. Timber Framing Rip-Cut Saw (390mm) Designed for fast, aggressive ripping along the grain, this saw features a progressive 4.5–7.5 TPI tooth pattern that starts fine near the handle for easy initiation and becomes more aggressive toward the tip for rapid progress. At 390mm with a narrow, lightweight blade inspired by the Maebiki, it delivers exceptional ripping performance through green, wet, soft, or hard wood — with better handling and control than a traditional whale-back saw. The 30-degree bent handle creates a natural fulcrum for extra leverage on every stroke. Perfect for: tenon cheeks, large rip cuts in structural timbers, post-and-beam joinery, and ripping green or wet wood. Temagari Crosscut Saw (390mm) Originally adapted from the traditional Japanese Temagari saw used for felling and bucking logs, this powerful crosscut pull saw has been refined for modern timber framing. Its progressive 4.5–7.5 TPI crosscut tooth design starts smooth near the handle and accelerates with long, efficient strokes through the cut. Whether you're trimming large joinery, cutting logs, or working post-and-beam construction, the Temagari delivers the reach and cutting power the job demands. Perfect for: crosscutting structural timbers, large joinery shoulders, pruning and bucking green or wet wood, and log cabin work. Why This Combo? Serious timber framing demands both a rip cut and a crosscut. With both saws in hand, you're ready for every stage — cheeks, shoulders, posts, beams, and large joinery in any species. These saws are built for framers who want Japanese precision in a tool that can handle a hard day's work, from rough green logs to dry hardwood framing timbers.
