Types of Saws and Their Uses: Dozuki Saw
Learn about sawing techniques to help step up your woodworking game.
We'll break it down step by step so that it's easy to understand and put into practice.
1: Features of Dozuki Saws
The dozuki saw has a thin blade with a fine pitch. It is excellent for precision work.
To prevent the thin blade from bending, a back metal is attached.
It cuts with a minimum width, resulting in a very clean finish.
2: How to Use a Dozuki Saw
The basic way to use it is the same as Ryoba saws.
Draw a line on the material, then secure it firmly.
Align your eyesight and pull slowly.
If you cut with the blade as flat as possible (at a low angle), it is easier to follow the line and cut straight.
