I've always used a razor saw and always suffered the occasional frustration of the back brace limiting the depth of cut. A few months ago a flush cutting saw from Harbor Freight and Tools was added to the workshop. What an amazing tool for a very reasonable price.

The current build is a Sig LT-25 Kadet trainer for the wife and grandkids and wing spars and leading and trailing edge are left running wild until the tip is glued in place making it very easy to install the tip but leaving the spars and leading/trailing edge needing flush cut with the wing tip. The flush cutting saw makes it so easy...

Perhaps something like this http://www.sears.com/sr/javasr/produ...seBVCookie=Yes

I've had one for a number of years and it's used a lot more than the razor saw I used to use all the time.

Another good one is Vaughan Bear Saw BS150D. [link=http://www.vaughanmfg.com/bearsaw_frameset.html]Bear Saw[/link]

I have the HF flush cut saw too. Like it. Would like to find one with teeth like the razor and flexible like the flush cut. But as it is now, the HF saw does a good job.

This is what I do to my old Zona razor saws when I get a new one.

Remove the blade (it'll pull out with some pliers no problem)
cut the back brace down to 2-3 inches long
re-insert the blade backwards and solder it into whats left of the back brace.

You now have a flexible flush cut pull saw.


I can post pics later if you want.

Pleeeease.

Take care.

OK 4 pics..

I couldn't find my modified saw but I did dig up an old spare to I hacked it up for ya

I didn't solder the blade to the handle yet but you'll get the idea.

pic 1 new and old saw

pic 2. remove the blade

pic 3 hack the back brace off with a hack saw and file the burs off.

pic 4 insert the blade backwards and enjoy your new flexi pull saw.

I use a hacksaw blade that I ground off the set of the teeth on one side of the blade. Cheap, works great.
