60T0662 - Detail Dozuki Saw
This 28 tpi dozuki saw has ripping teeth with a small transverse bevel on each tip to shear the wood fibers, making it ideal for dovetails or tenon shoulders. Cutting a kerf of just 0.010", the blade is 4 3/4" long by 7/8" deep and has a steel spine for rigidity.
The saw has a stained paulownia handle and comes in a protective vinyl case. Overall length is 13". Made in Japan.
It can also be purchased with the kugihiki and ryoba saws as a set of three.
It's a fine-toothed Japanese backsaw with a steel spine that keeps the thin blade rigid during precise cuts. The 28 tpi ripping teeth have a small transverse bevel on each tip that shears wood fibers cleanly, which is why it's a common choice for dovetails and tenon shoulders.
You draw it toward you on the pull stroke, letting the fine, spine-backed blade guide a straight, controlled cut. Its 0.010" kerf and 28 tpi pattern suit fine joinery work like dovetails and tenon shoulders rather than fast, rough cuts.
It's better suited to detail joinery than breaking down boards to size, since the thin, rigid blade and fine 28 tpi teeth are optimized for precision rather than fast stock removal. For cutting boards to width or length, a ryoba or larger panel saw is a better match.
Yes, the steel blade and ripping-pattern teeth handle hardwoods like maple, though the fine 28 tpi tooth pattern and 0.010" kerf are best suited to detail joinery cuts rather than removing a lot of material quickly.
