Boom!
It looks like Axminster are now selling 2 Bridge City toolworks chopstick items. Interestingly, they use the upside down saw idea.

I really can't wait for the Chinese licensed version now.

Gerard Scanlan":3qpr8led said:This teeth stripping issue seems to have been resolved by Bridge City Tools because I have not found any references to it on their owners forum.
Can you ask them? Maybe the blades are thicker, or longer, a longer blade would mean a lower angle for a given hight compared to my saw.

I have spoken to a few tool retailers in Europe but no one seems to want to risk that kind of investment. The Jointmaster does have two different cross cut blades. One for hard woods and one for softwoods.
Gerard Scanlan":38pgsq27 said:Hi Joe,
Have you made any progress obtaining longer japanese saw blades with more teeth per inch? I see that damaging the blades on the actual jointmaker is a bit on an issue until you get the hang of it. It seems that for harder timbers and thicker pieces you need to edge the blade up milimetre by millimetre. The work also has to be firmly clamped because this will easily kink the blade if it isn't.
