Rob prefers sawing most of his dovetail waste out with a fret saw instead of chopping it out with a chisel.  Sawing takes less effort and is easier to control.  Rob's fret saw features;

• Pinned handle to prevent separation

• Handle taped like a hockey stick for better grip and control

• Frame is stiff and top mounted wing nut allows tightening blade to resist bowing

• Light and with just a 3" depth of throat it is balanced

• Quick twist of the blade at clamping points eliminates throat capacity restrictions.

• Accepts 5 inch blades.  I highly recommend using our five inch, 12.5 tpi skip tooth blades with this saw.  

• Skip tooth blades cut faster, especially in hard woods.

• Includes a package of 12 blades.
