Q: How many teeth per inch does this dovetail saw have?
You can choose between either 14 or 20 tpi. The 14 tpi model is most efficient on stock thicker than 1/2", while the 20 tpi version is best for stock under 1/2" thick.

Our dovetail saws are an innovative blend of tradition and technology, incorporating the critical characteristics of a classic fine joinery saw but made using modern production processes and state-of-the-art materials.
The spine is molded from an advanced material incorporating stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness, and a polymer resin binder. An over-molded blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt creates a solid blade/spine/mount assembly. A single brass fastener secures the hardwood handle.
Made of high-carbon steel, the blade is 9 1/4" long and 0.020" thick, with a cut depth of about 1 9/16". The teeth, set 0.003" per side, have a rake angle of 14° and an included angle of 60°. The blades have 14 or 20 rip-cut teeth per inch. The 14 tpi model is most efficient on stock thicker than 1/2"; the less aggressive cut of the 20 tpi version is best for stock under 1/2" thick.
Comfortable and well balanced, each saw is 14 1/4" long overall.

The 9 1/4" blade cuts to a depth of about 1 9/16", which is enough for most dovetail and small joinery work without needing to reposition the saw partway through the cut.
The spine is injection molded from a mixture of stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness and a polymer resin binder, with the high-carbon steel blade molded directly into it.
