I make no apologies, I make long and/or repetitive rips on the table saw. But for short cuts and one-off cuts, I prefer to use a hand saw.

My 7/8 tip rip saw is too large and coarse for this work and a backsaw is not ideal for anything over a few inches long. What I keep thinking is how nice it would be to have a small rip saw in the 10-12 TPI range. Perhaps something under 18" long.

I'd really prefer something vintage. Did such saws exist? Am I better off just looking for a panel saw?
