In Response To: Tools: Which Flush Cutting Hand Saw? (Jim Owens)

Behr makes one, for about $25.00, that has interghangable blades. They are great saws, once you use one you wont go back.

: I'm ready to cut a hole in my deck for the outlet pipe of the Bosworth
: Guzzler bilge pump I've mounted on my forward bulkhead. I've taken Pete
: Roszyk's suggestion and will use a template for the hole based upon a
: cross-section of the ABS pipe cut at the proper angle. Then I'll glue the
: pipe in position through the deck using thickened epoxy. I'll then need to
: cut the pipe flush to the outside of the deck.

: I'm aware of two different styles of flush cutting hand saws: the English
: offset style with a stiff blade, which I believe cuts on a push stroke;
: and the Japanese style, some of which are flexible and all cut on the pull
: stroke. I'm attracted to the Japanese flush cutting pull saw, but I'd
: appreciate some thoughts or recommendations from the board before I dive
: into this project.

: Once the pipe is in place and trimmed flush, I'll clean it up and get my boat
: varnished -- finally!

Is the outlet in a curved surface?
