Shark Corp 10-2210 Miter Box Saw

by Shark

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The perfect companion for your miter box. This saw will make very smooth cuts in all types of molding and trim. Especially clean cutting in hardwoods. Cutting on the pull stroke allows the blade to be very thin and flexible. Use this saw for those finish cuts were the utmost accuracy is required.

Product Description

This saw is designed especially for manually-operated miter boxes. The 14" blade has 18 teeth/inch, for a smooth, fine cut, with a narrow kerf for minimal stock removal. It's designed to make degree cuts in all types of wood moldings (from crown moldings to intricate decorative ones). Sawing is so smooth, that sanding is often not required. The top brace found on traditional miter saws is nonexistent here as a pull-saw, it's not required; the blade will not buckle during use. Therefore, this saw's usefulness is not limited to the miter-box. It makes a great general carpentry saw and also cuts cleanly through plastic pipes such as PVC and ABS, up to 10" in diameter. All in all, the 10-2210 Miter Saw is the perfect tool for finish carpenters, cabinet makers, and woodworkers who demand precision in their work. Interchangeable with:. 01-2214 Composit saw blade. 01-2420 FineCut saw blade. 01-5450 Pruning saw blade

4.0 out of 5 stars Thoughts on pullsaws., August 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Shark Corp 10-2210 Miter Box Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

Having used both western saws and japanese saws for a time, I can look back at projects and instantly tell which was made with which. This could be due to an improvement in skill but I am not the only convert who has seen the results. The japanese saw does an astounding job. This is due to its superior design; its ease of use, its quality of cut, its smaller kerf, its insane sharpness, and its speed. Of course there are westerns saws that have these qualities but rarely have I ever seen them all in one saw. Logically, people will argue that there are such saws to be had in a western design but one must consider the fact that to buy this superior western saw you must take your old saw and hack off your arms and legs to pay for it. Now where are you?

As I look at this particular saw I see an easy recommend and not only because I have one. As a college student and amateur woodworker I have several concerns when buying tools, quality and cost (I am a college student!). This saw provides both and a little bit more. Not only is it inexpensive in light of other japanese saws, it isn't a cheap saw either. I would say that it makes a good transition saw for a traditional western user, it is not so expensive that you cannot try it out to make up your own mind. It is also a transitional saw for those like me who can't quite afford a great Dozuki yet, use this one or another like it Sharksaw makes an entire line of affordable japanese saws from ripping to ultra fine trimming 30 teeth for inch (find a western saw that has that or imagine the dovetails), find out what you don't like about it or what you do then search out a better quality saw that suits your needs.

I will use a car analogy here, most of us are learning to drive these for the first time. Why invest in a Rolls Royce and wreck it than start with a used Ford that is dependable and replaceable?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Saw, October 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Shark Corp 10-2210 Miter Box Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

I agree totally with the previous reviewer. This whole line of japanese pull saws cut like laser beams. These are the only hand saws I use. For me, there is 1 draw back...the blade is so thin and flexible that I initally had trouble making the blade cut a nice 90 degree end. The blade had a tendency to bend and start cutting at an angle. I overcame this by cutting a small groove on the top and sides of the board to be cut and then followed that. Works great now.

5.0 out of 5 stars They're all 10 star saws., November 20, 2008

This review is from: Shark Corp 10-2210 Miter Box Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

Shark 10-2210 Miter Box Saw - this is very good for several uses due to its flat parallel edges. Though I have used several of their saws for miter cuts, this one is the best of the group for that work.

These saws are: 1. sharp; 2. affordable; 3. easy to use (after a short learning curve).
These saws: 1. cut a thin kerf; 5. are very sharp; 6. allow you to do precision cutting.
And: they are very, very sharp (keep bandages with them - even though you've been warned - you'll have to find out for yourself).

I have moved ALL of my other hand saws to the back of the shop. These are a joy to use. I want to have each type (and have probably bought more than I have a need for). You will have to make a new miter box because these blades are too thin for any you have.

Some tips: 1. Don't pitch them in your toolbox or truck bed. These are precision tools and though they are quite strong, they are easily damaged. Use the blade guards that come with them. 2. Don't try to "muscle" them through a board. The old adage of "let the tool do the work" has never been truer. 3. Don't place the blade edge anywhere you don't want a mark left. I think I mentioned that they're very, very, very sharp.

(Since I don't know which review you might see first, I have left the same general review for each of these I own and added any specific thoughts for the individual saws.)
