60T0301 - Japanese Standard Dozuki Saw
Our most popular saw in the Japanese line is the dozuki. It can be used for tenons, dovetails and other joinery cuts.
The fine teeth (17 tpi) and the thin blade combine to give a very smooth cut. At the same time, it cuts more quickly than almost any conventional saw. The blade is only 0.011" thick and gives a kerf of 0.018". The tiny secondary bevels give the teeth strong tips that do not dull easily.
The 9 1/2" long blade has a short uncut portion on the tip that makes starting a cut easier. Maximum cut depth of about 2". 21" overall.
It is well suited to tenons, dovetails and other precision joinery cuts. The 17 tpi blade produces a smooth kerf and tracks precisely, making it a reliable choice for bench work where accuracy and clean surfaces are important.
The blade is 0.011" thick and cuts a 0.018" kerf. That combination of thin blade and fine kerf means minimal material removal and tight-fitting joints with little clean-up.
The Japanese tooth pattern cuts on the pull stroke, putting the blade in tension during the cut rather than compression. This allows a thinner blade and finer teeth without the blade buckling, resulting in a faster, smoother cut than most push-stroke saws of comparable tooth count.
The maximum cut depth is about 2". The saw is 21" overall with a 9 1/2" blade, which gives plenty of reach for typical bench joinery stock including tenon cheeks on thick timbers.
A replacement blade is available separately. The impulse-hardened teeth hold an edge well but are not intended for resharpening by hand – when the blade dulls, a replacement blade restores the saw to full performance.
