These two Veritas backsaws form an indispensable complementary duo for the workshop.
They share the same manufacturing quality, the same cutting precision and the same ergonomics; only the teeth change depending on the type of work required.

The 05T1001 – grain-following tooth design is optimized for longitudinal cuts in wood, ideal for dovetails, tenons, and cheek joints. It allows for perfect, precise following of the wood grain.

The 05T1005 – cross-grain tooth is designed for cuts perpendicular to the grain, perfect for precise trimming, cutting parts to length and clean fitting cuts.

Combined, these two saws cover all fine sawing needs at the workbench.
