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 .

Love this saw

Just used this saw to clear out dovetail waste in 3/4” red oak. Saw worked great. Love the feel of the tape on the handle. Much easier than chopping out the waste.

Great customer service

I had some issues with UPS delivery and the package basically disappeared. Gina with the support team was awesome and just sent out another one which arrived a few days ago while tracking down the lost package.

I love the feel of the handle and how balanced the entire saw is. Makes cutting out the waste on dovetails super easy and far less cleanup to do with a chisel afterwards than using a coping saw.

Way out performs the price point

I was a little stunned at the price when I first looked, and figured I would give it a try. The experience was absolutely fantastic all the way through. Rob called me to thank me for my business, and while I was unable to take the call, it was a classy touch I was not ready for. Then the shipping was fast (international) and the tool works like an absolute dream. I used to be a believer in chisel work over saws for clearing dovetail waste because I was used to clunky coping saws. This is a game changer and a huge time saver. I have converted my students in this direction as well. Just an all around pleasant experience. Thank you!

Reliable Quality

Well balanced saw cuts smoothly. Problems I've had with other supposed quality fretsaws is the blade clamping letting go at crucial stages. At last, here is a fretsaw with decent blade clamping that can be relied upon.
