‧ Blade length: 240mm ‧ Blade thickness: plate: 0.3mm, kerf: 0.5mm ‧ Overall length 600mm ‧ Maximum cutting depth:45mm ‧ Carbon Steel blade (JIS:SK95) ‧ HRC56±1 ‧ All quenching ‧ 90006 BLADE FOR DOZUKI NOKO The classic Dozuki is the traditional Japanese dovetail or joint cutting saw with its long back which stabilizes the blade and reduces vibration. It is ideal for precision cuts and extremely fine surface finishes, primarily crosscut. The fine trapezoid toothing makes precise cross cutting of highest quality possible. The thin (0.3mm) blade with the cutting edge hardened to HV900-1200 removes very little material and leaves a clean surface for maximum joint strength. It cuts with the traditional Japanese pull stroke. Each tooth is impulsed hardened to insure consistent and long lasting edge. The blade is replaceable with a few turns of the thumbscrew. The entire handle is coated with elastomer resin, and it gives you good grip. The handle is light and comfortable to grip, and it gives you good performance even when you have gloves on and or when your hand gets sweaty from work. TPE stands for “Thermoplastic Elastomer”. Elastomer is a type of soft resin like rubber, so it becomes soft when heated and hard when cooled.
