New LV Saws

[Gil Knowles]

Well LV has come out with a couple of new saws. I wish they would quit doing this. (LOL) Just when I think I do not need any more tools they come out with something new. Very good intro. price for the two of them.

that is so very very wrong of them. Those bastards.

Yes, I am going to have to get even with them by buying them both.

no, wait.....

[John Coloccia]

Great. Now I have to make another saw till. Thanks, Rob

Wow...$100 for two high quality resharpenable saws. That's pretty convincing.

I'd say they easily win on the "best value" measurement (I'm giving the benefit of doubt on "high quality" because I'm sure they are).

[Will Boulware]

Well isn't this just unnecessarily convenient? I need a set of high-quality mid-size carcass saws, and I'm broke. These fit the bill perfectly, and they'll match my current dovetail/crosscut combo. Mr. Lee, you're out to ruin my personal finances, and I thank you for it!

As a beginning Neander (who is just about to pull the trigger on the LV dovetail/crosscut combo) could someone explain why I would need to add these to my order?

[Mac Houtz]

um....yeah....I'll definitely be buying that pair at that price....damned tool peddlers will get you every time.

You don't, but don't let that stop you. (What, you think anyone here would try to talk you out of buying tools?)

[Matt Radtke]

Well, I was /going/ to make the switch to Shaptons in November, but I guess I'm getting a couple LV Carcass saws instead. . .

Darn, my self control is waning...

Good till Nov 30th... hmmm

I think, therefore I buy.

Beyond that, this whole concept of "need" is far too philosophical, and that sort of deep thought has no place in the shop.

Hi, my name is Richard... and I have a saw problem.

$99 for TWO saws? Nice.

[Shawn Clark]

I guess my question should be restated. Given a limited budget (and the fact I need marking gauges/squares/dividers) would this new set get me started with joinery or do I still "need" a dovetail saw also?

Thanks.
