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.

Cut accurate 90-degree slots when you use the saw with our Fret Slotting Miter Box. Add a Fret Scale Template and you'll never miscalculate your fret positions.
