Zetsaw Handy200 Fine Japanese Saw

Model No: 15088

Description:

The Zetsaw Handy200 Fine is an Anahiki-nokogiri Japanese Saw. Traditionally, Anahiki-nokogiri were crosscut saws, used for cutting logs, beams and other rough dimensioning work. Today, anahiki-nokogiri are the most popular carpentry saw amongst Japanese woodworkers, as it's ideal for cutting across various types of solid wood.

The Kataba blade of the Zetsaw Handy200 Fine Japanese Saw has a Universal tooth configuration. This means that it can be used to make rip, cross and slant (mitre) cuts. The teeth are impulse hardened for greater blade longevity, and has an effective cutting length of 200mm.

Benefits & Features:

Kataba Blade: The tapered, rounded front end of the blade, allows it to be inserted in to confined or awkward spaces, making cuts at acute angles.

Universal Cut Teeth: The universal tooth pattern means this saw can handle any sawing situation.

Pocket Cutting: The blade allows for pocket-cutting holes in the middle of thin wooden sheets, without the need to drill pilot holes beforehand.

Pull Saw: Cutting on the pull stroke, rather than the push stroke, reduces the risk of blade flex whilst cutting.

Blade Replacement System: Reduces the need to get teeth sharpened and re-set, when in the middle of a project. Simply replace the blade and continue on with what you were doing. This system also means you will not have to buy a complete new saw, should the blade break. Replacement blades for this saw can be purchased here.

Hook Fixing: For easy and speedy blade replacement. No need to have multiple saws, just swap the blade out for different tasks, with compatible blades. Great for smaller workshops with limited storage space. Click here to download the PDF guide on replacing the blades on saws with hook fixing blades.

Compact Handle: The compact, elastomer-skinned handle has a flared end for a comfortable, slip-resistant grip. It also enables cuts to be made, where longer-handled saws would not fit.

Impulse Hardening Technology: Treating the teeth in this way helps keep them sharp for much longer than conventional methods. Whilst the core of the blade remains tough, yet flexible, to reduce bending and buckling during use.

Blade Length: 200mm of effective cutting, with an overall blade length of 235mm.

Blade Thickness: 0.5mm.

Blade Pitch: 1.40mm [18TPI]

Kerf: 0.66mm. Cuts with the Zetsaw Handy200 Fine Japanese Saw produce less sawdust and reduce wood waste, than conventional Western saws.
