Dovetail Saw — 10 inch

The Zeptix Supplies Dovetail Saw is a fine-tooth, rip-filed back saw designed specifically for cutting dovetail joints and other precision joinery. The ten-inch blade carries twenty teeth per inch with a fine set that produces a narrow kerf, wasting minimal material and leaving walls clean enough to glue straight from the saw. A solid brass spine adds weight and rigidity to the blade, dampening vibration and keeping the cut tracking straight without wandering. The blade is ground with progressive taper from heel to toe, which means the saw starts easily on a light push stroke and then bites into the cut as you build momentum. The turned hardwood handle sits at a pistol-grip angle that positions your wrist directly behind the cutting force, reducing fatigue and improving control during the repeated strokes of a full set of dovetails. The handle is fitted with brass hardware that matches the spine, and the overall aesthetics make this a saw you will be proud to hang on the wall between uses. For the hand-tool woodworker, this is the joint-cutting saw that sets the standard.
