I prefer sawing most of my dovetail waste out with a fret saw instead of chopping it out with a chisel. Sawing takes less effort and is easier to control. My fret saw features;

Pinned handle to prevent separation
Handle taped like a hockey stick for better grip and control
Frame is stiff and top mounted wing nut allows tightening blade to resist bowing
Light and with just a 3" depth of throat it is balanced
Quick twist of the blade at clamping points eliminates throat capacity restrictions.
Accepts 5 inch blades. I highly recommend using our five inch, 12.5 tpi skip tooth blades with this saw.
Skip tooth blades cut faster, especially in hard woods.
Includes a package of 12 blades.

Size: Overall length (maximum extension: 12 1/2 inches; (minimum extension) 8 inches. Maximum frame opening: 6 Inches. Depth of throat: 3 inches.

Height: 4 1/2 inches.

Weight: 160 grams.

Frame: Made from forged steel construction for exceptional performance and durability features.

Handle: Wooden 4 inch long, wrapped in hockey grip tape.

Blade: Length: 5 inches. Width = 0.038 inches, Thickness = .016 inches, Teeth Per Inch (TPI) = 12.5 .

Big timesaver for clearing waste between dovetails

Everyone in my hand tools class is jealous of my fret saw! It’s so much faster than clearing waste with a chisel. At first, I was concerned about pulling too hard and breaking the saw blade, but it withstands a lot more pressure than I was expecting. I haven’t broken any of the 12 included blades yet. Very pleased with this purchase!

Must have saw for hand cut dovetails.

Great saw for detailed precision cuts, Much easier to use than a coping saw.

Product came in as expected. I can tell that it’s a quality made tool. I absolutely love the grip. Tape are provided on the handle. It makes a difference.

Fantastic saw!

The biggest problem with other fret saws that actually cost much more is the blade wiggles loose constantly. This saw does not do that. It holds the blade firm and at a much lower price point!

Fret saw first use.

Saw is everything you claim. It's a tough little thing too. When I first assembled it I was a bit skeptical about that tiny blade. But, I twisted it to the angle you suggested and it held up great. (I thought it just might go "BOING" with a popping snap).
I've cut about twenty joints and am learning.. So far, I haven't gotten below the line on either side (yet), and am getting straighter and closer each time.
Great tool and well thought out design. Still using the first blade.
Keep up the good work Rob!
