{"product_id":"z-saw-dozuki-replaceable-blade","title":"Z-Saw Dozuki Saw","description":"\u003cp\u003eZ-Saw Japanese Dozuki Saws have precise .3mm thick high-carbon steel blades. The teeth are precision ground and impulse hardened for long life. The rattan-wrapped wood handle is lightweight, fits neatly in the hand and provides a good grip. With the thin kerf, sharp teeth and pull stroke action, it's easy to make straight cuts with Z-saws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/z-saw-dozuki-saw-blade\"\u003e Blades are replaceble and interchangeable \u003c\/a\u003e .

However, that doesn't mean the length is irrelevant. Generally, longer is better. With a longer blade you can take fewer long, smooth strokes. This usually results in a smoother, straighter cut. In some cases, the extra length of a long saw makes it unwieldy for smaller projects. You'll want the cutting length of your saw to be at least four times the thickness of the material you cut most. If you're cutting tenons on a 2\" thick workpiece, you'll be much happier with the 9-1\/2\" saw. If you're cutting dovetails in a box, you'll probably be happier with the 6\" saw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe only hard restriction when choosing saw size is the depth of cut. The 6\" long saw has a 1-1\/2\" maximum depth of cut. The 9-1\/2\" saw cuts up to 1-15\/16\" deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eCommon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardwood Blade Tooth Count — 1.2mm\/tooth (21tpi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine Blade Tooth Count — 1.0mm\/tooth (25tpi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness — .3mm (.012\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e150mm - 6\" Saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting Length — 150mm (6\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Cut Depth — 38mm (1-1\/2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length — 372mm (14-5\/8\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length — 190mm (7-1\/2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e240mm - 9-1\/2\" Saws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting Length — 240mm (9-1\/2\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Cut Depth — 50mm (1-15\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length — 535mm (21-1\/16\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Length — 270mm (10-5\/8\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe teeth are impulse hardened and \u003cb\u003e cannot \u003c\/b\u003e be re-sharpened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Made in Japan. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Z-Saw","offers":[{"title":"150mm - 6 inch - Hardwood","offer_id":50822010077466,"sku":"456505","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"150mm - 6 inch - Fine","offer_id":50822010110234,"sku":"456503","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240mm - 9-1\/2 inch - Hardwood","offer_id":50822010143002,"sku":"456507","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240mm - 9-1\/2 inch - Fine","offer_id":50822010175770,"sku":"456509","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/5167\/3370\/files\/z-saw-dozuki-d.jpg?v=1769474216","url":"https:\/\/www.highlandwoodworking.mom\/products\/z-saw-dozuki-replaceable-blade","provider":"Highland Woodworking","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
