FAMEX 5520 Micro Saw - Dozuki

The FAMEX 5520 Dozuki Japanese saw is designed for the finest tasks. Its blade is very thin and finely toothed, making it ideal for delicate work such as model building, instrument work, and picture frame construction. The depth of cut is limited by the back reinforcement, but this allows for very precise and thin cuts.

The Pull-Cut System:

Unlike Western saws, the Dozuki works by pulling, rather than pushing. The extremely thin and flexible blade, combined with the back reinforcement, provides better control, allowing for very fine and precise cuts. This makes it especially useful for delicate and accurate woodworking.

The Blade:

Compared to European saws, the Dozuki's blade is much thinner and more flexible. This enables efficient, clean, and fast cuts with minimal effort. The blade is made of high-quality carbon steel with a chrome-plated surface. The teeth are electronically impulse-hardened, promising a longer lifespan.

Special Tooth Design:

The "SHARK" tooth design with three cutting edges is extremely sharp, significantly reducing the likelihood of frayed edges. This means less post-processing is required. The 26 teeth per inch make for an extremely fine cut, ideal for precision work. Remember: the finer the task, the finer the teeth should be.
