Checklist For Fine Saws

Fine Saw Types
  • Western fine saws, sometimes called European or American saws, have a rectangular saw blade with a reinforcement on the back of the blade. These saws cut into the material like a foxtail as they move forward. The reinforcement on the back of the saw blade prevents the saw blade from buckling.
  • Japanese saws are available in a variety of designs. Japanese fine saws cut when pulled. Therefore, they have no reinforcement in the saw blade back. They are suitable for very fine sawing work.
Handles
  • Western fine saws are available with two different handle designs. The handles can be in line with the saw blade or offset to the side of the saw blade. Fine saws with an offset handle are suitable for sawing dowels or tenons flush with the surrounding surface, for example, in furniture making.
  • On Japanese saws, the handle is always exactly in line with the saw blade. The handles are round, slim and usually tapered to prevent them from slipping out of the hand when pulled.
Special Designs
  • Japanese saws are available with toothed saw blades on both sides. One side has fine teeth, the other side has coarse teeth. With these saws you can do fine and coarse work with one saw .
Blade Length
  • Fine saws from various manufacturers are available with different blade lengths ranging from about 100 to 250 mm. Fine saws with long saw blades are suitable for shortening wall panels or laminate, for example. Short saw blades are mostly used for furniture construction or model making.
Accessories
  • A useful accessory for a fine saw is a miter box. It allows you to precisely saw angles on moldings and profiles. For example, for making picture frames or baseboards.
