Each Japanese Fret Saw is made by hand, and designed to cut on the pull-stroke, to greatly reduce blade flex and binding as you saw a fret slot.

This saw features extremely sharp teeth, with precise .023" kerf to match our fretwire, and will cut faster than other saws.

The thumbscrew-adjustable clear acrylic depth stop slides up and down for precise control of fret slot depth. It's removable for cutting off the ends of a blank fingerboard, or for use with our Fret Slotting Miter Box.

Overall length: 19-3/4" (501.65mm)
Cutting length: 9-3/4" (247.65mm)
Blade depth: 1-3/4" (44.45mm)
Rigid nickel-plated brass spine
Comfortable traditional bamboo handle
