Top Pick Veritas Dovetail Saw Fine-cut 20 Tpi In Multiple Colors [Ly0f3BpJ]

Veritas Saws combine the best characteristics of the classic fine joinery saw with those of state-of-the-art materials and construction methods. The tooth pattern on the thin high-carbon steel blade provides a good balance between cutting action and surface finish.

The pistol-grip design of the wooden handle makes it intuitive to hold the saw with the index finger resting on the stainless-steel/glass/polymer composite spine, which provides strength and rigidity.

When cutting joints, it is desirable to match the tooth pattern to the thickness of the material you are using. This fine-tooth dovetail saw is intended for material 1/2" and thinner. This is by no means a hard rule, as this saw will cut outside this range; however, it is most efficient within its specified range.

The teeth on this fine-tooth dovetail saw are filed at 20 teeth per inch, with a 14° rake and a 60° included angle. A double-extra-slim file will be necessary for sharpening these teeth. Set is 0.003" per side.
