Can you get those in the UK


He's talking about a standard hand saw, not powered saw. Disston was a brand
that no longer exists, they were in the USA. You could go to a hardware store
and buy a nice new Stanley shark tooth (sharp tooth?), these are made with a
new teeth design that will do both cross cutting and rip cutting. There used to
be a difference between the two types. Maybe they cost around £14 or less. Or
try to find an old used one.
