Shogun MCS-24PZF Japanese Dozuki & Flush Cut Pull Saw 240mm Length

A unique combination 2 in 1 Japanese pull cut saw.

The blade is split into 2 sections with 2 different types of teeth. The blade is clearly marked to remind you how to use each section.

The first section is known as a Dozuki saw, which has a rigid spine running along the top of the blade. It keeps the blade straight during the pull cut and therefore allows an incredibly thin plate to be used: Only 0.27mm. Working with such a thin blade requires very little effort from the user and therefore increases the precision level which can be achieved. Maximum cutting depth is 40mm

The second section of the blade is used as a flush cut saw. It is not covered by the spine, so the blade is allowed to bend and flex, giving the ability to make a flush cut across a surface of timber. The teeth in this section have a 'zero set' (they are perfectly in line with the blade plate), so when flush cutting it will not leave a mark on the surrounding surface to the cut. The extra flexibility also give it the ability to access tight corners.

The Dozuki blade is most commonly used for precision cutting such as for dovetailing, tenoning, cross-cutting, box making and general cabinet making.

The Flush cut saw is specifically designed for the flush trimming of wooden dowels and plugs.

The blade fixes to a traditional Japanese rattan wrapped wooden handle that offers fantastic feel and control.
