The Woodboy FINE 240-26 is the standard saw and the Silky Woodboy EXTRA-FINE 240-32 is the ultra-fine toothed version for an exceptionally smooth finish.
Traditional Japanese pull-saw pattern and as such is designed to cut on the pull stroke only.
As a traditional Japanese pull-saw pattern the blade will be under tension on the cutting stroke and will not be able to bow. Let the saw do the work.
Woodboy FINE 240-26 and Woodboy EXTRA-FINE 240-32 feature thin flexible blades so are perfect for intricate carpentry and can be used in flush-cutting situations.
The Woodboy Dovetail 240-32 has been created for complex carpentry such as dovetails. This is the Dozuki model with a reinforced back so it is not flexible and not suitable for flush cutting. Woodboy Dovetail has 32 FINE teeth per 30mm.
Non-set teeth and a taper ground blade.
The blade folds easily, via a quick thumb release button, into the aluminium alloy handle. It locks in two positions for tight spots and kerfing dados.
The handle is rubber-gripped and coated for ergonomic comfort.
Specification:
- Blade length all versions: 240mm (9 1/2")
- Teeth per 30mm: 26 or 32
- Weight approx: 300g
- Kerf: 0.66mm
Never force the blade on the push stroke as you will be pushing against the direction of the teeth. Carefully take the pressure off the blade in order to release the saw.
Generally you should experience fewer vibrations and use less effort enabling longer work and improved productivity.
Spare blades are available for the Silky Woodboy
