I prefer sawing most of my dovetail waste out with a fret saw instead of chopping it out with a chisel.  Sawing takes less effort and is easier to control.  My fret saw features;

  • Pinned handle to prevent separation

  • Handle taped like a hockey stick for better grip and control

  • Frame is stiff and top mounted wing nut allows tightening blade to resist bowing

  • Light and with just a 3" depth of throat it is balanced

  • Quick twist of the blade at clamping points eliminates throat capacity restrictions.

  • Accepts 5 inch blades.  I highly recommend using our five inch, 12.5 tpi skip tooth blades with this saw.  

  • Skip tooth blades cut faster, especially in hard woods.

  • Includes a package of 12 blades.

Size: Overall length (maximum extension: 12 1/2 inches; (minimum extension) 8 inches.  Maximum frame opening: 6 Inches.  Depth of throat: 3 inches.

Height: 4 1/2 inches.

Weight: 160 grams.

Frame: Made from forged steel construction for exceptional performance and durability features.

Handle:  Wooden 4 inch long, wrapped in hockey grip tape.

Blade:  Length: 5 inches.  Width = 0.038 inches, Thickness = .016 inches,  Teeth Per Inch (TPI) = 12.5 .

Great Saw

Great fit and finish. I've not used it on a real joint yet, but I've played with it just to get a feel for it. I didn't lay out joints, I just drew some lines on some scrap, used Rob's saw and followed with the fret saw. I'll need some practice, on the second cut, trying to get closer to the line, I cut below the gauge line. MY FAULT, not the saw. I'm gonna start with some scrap and work on training my hand. (Where have I heard that before?)

Solid performance, no frills

Works great. Easy to set up and adjust tension. Wing nuts stay tight. Compact size and grip is comfortable in the hand. Solid fret saw at a fair price.

Perfect tool for removing dovetail waste. Really upped my game.

Perfect tool for removing dovetail waste. Also I love the hockey tape wrap. Hugely helpful especially with arthritis in the hands. Great job Rob.
