Like the title asks, what are some essential saws or some of the best performers from each decade?
If you look at my “collection” you’ll notice most saws are newer or from the era I grew up. As I’ve started expanding my searches for saws I’ve started to really get into some of the vintage or older stuff quite a bit more. It starts to get a little crazy the older you go as there were so many saw manufacturers and many models shared between brands. Growing up, you’d always hear about 044’s and 064/066 and the 371/372 etc… what are some saws that would have been viewed similarly in their time?
Apologies if there is a similar thread here, but I wasn’t able to find it!
I’ll start with my 440. I bought one of these new in high school when the 441’s were introduced and recently picked this one up for close to the same price
(ignore the 400!)
