Tex, I bought Lie-Nielsen panel saws and thoroughly enjoy everytime I pull them out to use them. Since I do not use a tablesaw in my shop, the rip and crosscut panel saws are the direct replacement for that power tool. The cost is much less for those two saws than a tablesaw, and that is how I justified spending the money for them. I have used them for many cutting tasks: boards of different species, particle board, plywood, and even a small amount of MDF. They still have very sharp edges on them.

There are many old saws out there that will fit the bill, I know, I have some. But out of the box and ready to go is nice also. Get some Lie-Nielsens, you will not be disappointed.

Looked at Lie-Nielson and also Mike Wenzloff’s saws. Both look very nice but I’ll have to save up if I go that route. I too hope not to use an power tools so as my projects get bigger (I hope) then I’ll definitely need a good rip saw.

paratrooper34, How long does it take you to get a Lie-Nielson after ordering?

I put a bid on a Disston D8 this afternoon. BigYin, bid on that Atkins and quickly got outbid. I may snipe closer to the end but I hate that even that is what you have to do on the bay.

Go ahead and bid on the English one BigYin. I’ve bid on a disston d8 rip and I’ll wait to see how it goes before I bid on anything else. I’m patient and can wait if I don’t get it.

Tex, sent you a PM back on that question.

I have ordered three times from LN. The saws got to me in about a month, and that was while I was stationed in Germany using the APO system. For those not familiar, that is normal turnaround time on most packages.

I ordered a set of chisels once. They never told me they were not in stock and I waited about two months for those. I love the chisels, so the wait was not so bad.

Good luck with your hunt!

Well, won that D8 I put the bid on. Hopefully I got a good one! Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150828507675&ssPageName=ADME:L:COSI:US:1123#ht_500wt_966

It’s your fault BigYin!

Feast your eyes on these puppies. Two Lawyers Tools from Germany.

Very pretty. And it makes me feel a lot better on spending $110 on a pair of D8’s :)
