Bac Industries Inc TMB-13DS Straight Draw Shave 13 Inches

Product Description

The BAC INDUSTRIES INC TMB-13DS is a 13-inch straight draw shave designed for debarking logs, trimming firewood, shaping fence posts, and general woodworking tasks including furniture building. The blade is 5 mm thick and ground to a 30-degree angle, allowing it to shave bark and wood accurately with minimal effort. The tool is constructed from heavy-duty steel with a hardness rating of HRC 30, making it durable enough for repeated field use. Comfortable wood handles provide a secure two-handed grip during pulls, and a blade protector is included to maintain edge sharpness and protect the user during storage and transport.

This draw shave is suited for professional timber framers, fence builders, woodworkers, and skilled tradespeople who work with raw or rough-cut lumber. It handles debarking green logs in the field as well as detailed shaping work in the shop. The 30-degree blade angle and 13-inch cutting length make it practical for both broad debarking strokes on large-diameter logs and controlled shaping passes on smaller stock such as fence posts and furniture components.

Installation Notes

A draw shave is a hand tool requiring no power source or mechanical installation. Secure the workpiece in a shaving horse, vise, or equivalent fixture before use to maintain control during pull strokes. Always store the tool with the blade protector in place. Resharpen the blade with a flat sharpening stone when cutting performance decreases, maintaining the factory bevel angle.
