This saw cuts on the pull stroke, to help reduce blade flexing in hard fingerboard woods, lessen the chances of the blade jamming in the slot, and give you smoother, more controlled cutting.

The corrosion-resistant 10" Sheffield steel blade has .023" width of cut, to match our fretwire.

Our fret saw also features adjustment for any fret slot depth: the clear acrylic guide slides up or down to expose the desired amount of blade (as deep as 1/4"). The guide is removable for cutting off the ends of a blank fingerboard.

You have to have this saw

This saw is very nice because allows you to have uniform cuts on the fretboard and the blade procudes a perfect cut: clean cut and perfect width. Highly recommended
