60T0315 - Professional Dozuki Saw
Japanese craftsmen call the shoulder of a tenon "dozuki."
Although a good dozuki saw can be used for any fine work, it is particularly useful for dovetails and tenons where accuracy and a smooth cut are so important. The 0.011" thick blade with 25 tpi cuts quickly and leaves a clean, crisp 0.016" kerf in both hardwoods and softwoods.
The teeth have little set but, because of the patented cutting rakers, they still cut quickly. The solid brass back gives the saw rigidity and enough weight to allow the user to concentrate on the line, not cutting pressure.
Ideally balanced for fine work; it is 21" long with a 9" blade. Maximum cut depth is about 2". A replacement blade that includes the brass back is available.
For anyone who enjoys woodworking, this saw will quickly become indispensable.
Made in Japan.
The Ikeda tooth pattern uses patented cutting rakers between the regular teeth. These rakers remove wood at the middle of the kerf, reducing friction and allowing the teeth to cut more efficiently despite having little set. The result is a saw that cuts quickly while leaving a crisp, smooth kerf.
Yes, the 25 tpi blade cuts quickly and leaves a clean 0.016" kerf in both hardwoods and softwoods. The Ikeda tooth geometry is particularly well suited to fine joinery work across a range of species.
The solid brass back gives the saw rigidity and enough weight to let you concentrate on following the layout line rather than applying cutting pressure. It keeps the blade in a consistent plane during the cut, which is especially useful for dovetails and tenon shoulders.
Yes, a replacement blade that includes the brass back is available separately. When the blade dulls, replacing it restores the saw to its original cutting performance.
It is particularly useful for dovetails and tenons where accuracy and a smooth cut are important. The fine kerf, rigid brass back and Ikeda tooth pattern combine to make it a reliable choice for precise bench joinery in both hardwood and softwood.
