Both a tenon saw and a carcass saw will cut your dead, small joints and will also cut small tenons and shoulders for your joinery such as drawer dovetails. The longer length of a carcass saw, or a tenon saw will help give you a straighter cut, too, and allow you a better view of straight.

Typically used to cut joints in drawer runners, dividers, and stretchers (the framework or carcass of a piece), they are well balanced, maneuverable, and scaled for smaller work than a tenon saw. Available in rip and crosscut versions.

Carcass saws are good general-utility backsaws for cutting the typical joints used in cabinetry, trimming frame members to length, and cutting joints in drawer runners, dividers and stretchers (the framework or carcass of a piece).

Dovetail Saws, Carcass Saws and Gent Saws are all types of backsaws, smaller than Tenon Saws, designed for specific joinery tasks. We stock a variety of joinery saws from fine saw makers like Lie Nielsen, Bad Axe, Crown and Veritas with classic pistol grip handles or straight handles.

Introducing the Bad Axe Bayonet, a formidable tool designed to tackle a wide range of carcase joinery requirements with precision and ease. Measuring 14" in length and featuring a finely filed 14 teeth per inch (ppi) configuration on a thin .018-gauge plate, this saw is ready to take on any challenge you throw its way.

Not quite as beefy as a tenon saw, the Veritas Carcass Saw is scaled for smaller work, yet maneuverable enough to cut dovetails. The 11” high-carbon steel blade is mounted in a composite resin spine for stiffness and strength.

The Carcass Saw is used for precise cuts across the grain, cutting tenon shoulders, and defining the edges of a dado. An ideal complement to the Dovetail Saw. It has 14 points per inch, ground crosscut, for cutting quickly, yet accurately and smoothly.

Typically used to cut joints in drawer runners, dividers, and stretchers (the framework or carcass of a piece), this saw is well balanced, maneuverable, and scaled for smaller work than a tenon saw.
