SUIZAN Dozuki Dovetail Saw 7" Rip Cross Angle Cut - Professional Japanese Pullsaw Handsaw Woodworking Tools

Good saw. Ultra thin blade, and sharp. Works well with a dovetail guide. I have 2 other hand saws suitable for dovetails, but this is my go-to.

I bought this second one as a gift to my son because I like mine so much. Like a backsaw in operation but very thin kerf and cuts as least as quickly as a regular crosscut with less effort. I am able to crosscut much more accurate 90 degrees on 2x4s with this than a regular crosscut. Prefer it to circular saw because it is relaxing, light, and set up is much easier for me. Cuts are very smooth, requiring much less sanding. The blade is very thin, but kept edge well and strong if used properly. (Pull stroke, don't force) Think razor blade. I loved my old Disstons but they got dull and I kept putting off sharpening them. Now I won't have to.

The dovetail (rip) saw came moderately well-packaged in an oversized box with kraft paper packing on one side only. I read reviews from customers who received bent or otherwise damaged saws, so I took the time to inspect mine with magnifiers before using. I was pleased to see that it was well oiled and in perfectly good condition. Using it was a pleasure as well. I do enjoy the pull-cut that these Japanese saws offer. However the plastic handles are “cheap” feeling. Not sure about “balance” of the saw vs the handle. I have the crosscut version of this saw as well, and some of its teeth had bent out because I was too aggressive with it. It was easy enough to mark those teeth with a sharpie and gently press them back in line, one at a time. These saws are very thin and flexible despite the stiffener at the top. I have trouble keeping the cross-cut saw on my line while cutting, but I chalk most of that up to user-error since I don’t cut with these every day. This rip saw seemed to track better. Overall I think the value for the money is very good for these saws.

This is a very sharp, very high quality saw that works for flush trimming, cutting tenon and small projects. The blade is incredibly strong. Get one and you won't regret it! Handle is tight and has no wobble. Highly recommend!

Saw is great handle is a bit cheap. Went 7” to fit between sizes sorta wish I had bought the 9” for the nicer handle. Either way saw cuts great on dovetails.

Wowee. What a difference for precise cutting or wafer thin adjustments to cutting! I do furniture upcycling and bought this saw on recommendation from a guy explaining how to shorten chair legs without breaking your heart, on a youtube video. This is my first pull saw so I'm probably overly enthusiastic, and I can't compare it to other pull saws. I'm not a big strong person adroitly wielding heavyweight saws so that's not an option for me. But really, night and day from a regular saw for this same task. The cut is so cleanly finished you barely need sanding.

Great little saw. I've used it for cutting dovetails. Also great for trimming wood. Grandkid used it for cutting wood for science projects. Sharp, cuts smoothly and clean. Great value for the money.

Summary: if you hold a mirror up near your mouth and it fogs up - then buy this. If you think you might ever have to cut something in the next decade or two, or even if you don’t think you will (you will) - buy this. You’ll be trying to figure out how to make that small cut on that weird object, you’ll remember you have this saw, you’ll think to yourself “man I’m so glad I listened to that random Amazon review,” then you open up the Amazon app, find the product listing, scroll down, find this random review, let out a small singular laugh to yourself, and then you up-vote the review. Actual review: This is one of the products I had to go back and review just because it was so great. I bought this 3.5 years ago and have used it very heavily, and it still cuts like the day I got it. Works great on any wood, and any plastics I’ve come across (PVC, Nylon, PTFE, even PEEK and PVDF). Even cut rubber with it (though would not be my recommended method). It’s great for just about any fine cutting I need. Admittedly I use machinery (miter saw, table saw, router, etc) for most cuts, so I figured I wouldn’t use this much. I was wrong. I use it all the time, particularly for unusual shaped cuts. It leaves an ultra-fine finish and is very easy to cut straight and square. Could not ask for a better saw for only ~$30.

Bueno, no sé qué más decir de esta marca (Suizan) que es excelente. Para mí la carpintería fina es un hobby y no mi trabajo, pero después de muchas herramientas baratas he aprendido a diferenciar y apreciar la calidad en las mismas. Poseo también la Ryoba de 9 1/2" y ambas son herramientas de calidad excepcional, los materiales, los acabados, la construcción, incluso el precio es bastante accesible para ser sierras de esta calidad. Particularmente compre está dozuki porque es la que tiene la hoja y el kerf más delgado de la familia de dozukis de suizan, lo cual es excelente para cortar colas de milano. Los cortes son siempre excelentes, gracias a que las hojas están super afiladas y al tener una hoja tan delgada la resistencia es muy poca por lo que puedes cortar con mucha eficiencia y precisión. Aunque no hay que confundirse, toma algo de tiempo aprender a usarlas correctamente, como cualquier herramienta manual. Le doy 5 estrellas pues todo sobre está sierra y marca lo merece. Estoy ansioso de adquirir más sierras de esta marca, conforme las vaya requiriendo, recomendable para todas las personas que disfrutan de la carpintería fina como trabajo o hobby.

切れ味良く、悪いところ全く無しです。

This 7 inch dozuki is way better than the 9 inch i started with. The smaller one is very sturdy in comparison and has larger teeth so it cuts much faster, the kerf is just as thin too. This saw cuts faster costs less and replacement blades are actually available to purchase at a reasonable price. I started with the 9 inch saw from the same manufacturer and i was pretty disappointed with it. It was too flimsy and it would cut at a glacial pace wearing out your arms after just a few shallow cuts. I would reccomend this product for quick accurate cuts in hand made joinery.

Had it for a while now. It's cuts trough hardwood like it was butter.

More than excellent
