Some detailed information about Cross Cut Saw Handles

Note: I have had multiple problems with the way that Windows and my ISP interpert cross tree addressing. So I have two sets of links here. The first one is for use with my ISP links and the second is for my Windows links.

There are many different ways of connecting from a cross cut saw to a handle. Each way has its own characteristics including various problems, advantages and tradition of use. I have made an effort here to list those that I know about with examples of them.

There is additional information about handles in the manufacturer specific files for Atkins, Disston and Simonds.
