Why Use A Japanese Pull Saw?Harder Steel – Stays Sharp LongerCuts On Pull Action – Higher Cutting AccuracyRequires Less Effort – Thinner blade is Light Weight To UseOne of the most popular of the Japanese saws, is this Dozuki style precision saw. It has a back spine which supports the blade during the pull cut allowing an incredibly thin plate to be used, only 0.3mm.The thin plate means less material is removed and so the resulting cut requires very little effort whilst giving very high accuracy and a smooth finish.Applications include dovetailing, tenoning, cross-cutting, box making and general cabinet making.This mini sized Dozuki saw is designed for the very high level of precision required by model makers and box makers working with small decorative boxes or jewellery boxes.The saw can cut to a depth up to 15mm under the spine. The blade fixes to a wooden handle that offers fantastic control.Shogun FLB100 Specification:Blade Length: 105mmBlade Height: 20mmBlade Thickness (Plate):0.3mmBlade Thickness (Kerf):0.45mmTooth Spacing: 1.0mm (24tpi)Maximum Cutting Depth: 15mmOverall Length: 240mmThe most noticeable design feature of a Japanese saw is that the teeth are angled backwards towards the handle. When in use, the cutting action is on the pull-stroke hence Japanese saws are often referred to as pull saws. The saw is designed to cut as you draw it through the timber, totally the opposite to a traditional western saw. The benefit of the pull saw design, is that as much pressure as desired can be applied to the cut without fear of the blade buckling. This gentle method of sawing also ensures far more accuracy and a much thinner blade can be used which equals less resistance and a faster cut.
