These saws are pretty much only found as crosscut because they are intended for bucking wood. It is pretty easy to re-file them rip. A dremel tool with a round grind wheel on it can do the whole blade in about 15 minutes. I'm not aware of any that are commercially available as rip saws. A more traditional long rip saw 26"-28" variety with 4 or 5tpi are fairly common and inexpensive at garage and estate sales. One of those would have worked fine too and would be more versatile in the shop too. Hi Jon, Glad you enjoyed it.

I came across it while searching the web for a rip saw for sawing logs into lumber just as you showed here. I haven't had any luck finding one, and I'm wondering if you know of their availability anywhere. Plenty of crosscut saws out there, but no rip saws that I'm aware of... Thanks for your time!
