Stanley 17-202 Fatmax Back Saw 14 Inches

Product Description

The STANLEY 17-202 is a 14-inch back saw designed for precise crosscuts, miter cuts, and joinery work in wood and other materials. The reinforced spine along the top of the blade keeps the plate rigid during the cut, reducing deflection and improving cut accuracy. At 1.31 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use without fatigue. This saw is a hand-tool staple for carpenters, finish tradespeople, and installers who need clean, controlled cuts in trim, molding, casing, and similar applications.

The 17-202 suits residential and light commercial finish work where a power saw is impractical or unnecessary. It is well suited for use in miter boxes for repetitive angled cuts. Trim carpenters, cabinetmakers, and general contractors reach for a back saw when fitting door casings, window trim, and wood joinery. The 14-inch blade length provides ample capacity for standard dimensional lumber and sheet stock trim profiles.

Key Features

• 14-inch blade length for broad cutting capacity in trim and joinery work
• Rigid spine reinforcement along the blade back reduces flex and improves cut accuracy
• Lightweight construction at 1.31 pounds reduces hand and arm fatigue during extended use
• Compatible with standard miter boxes for guided, repeatable angle cuts
• FatMax series design for durability in demanding job site conditions

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose back saw suitable for use with standard miter boxes and hand-tool applications in wood trim, molding, and joinery work.

Installation Notes

No power source is required. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting to prevent movement and ensure a clean cut line. When used with a miter box, verify the box slots align with the desired cut angle before starting the stroke. Keep fingers clear of the cut path and use appropriate eye protection when cutting.
