Customer Review: Very useful little saw
Summary: 4 Stars
Very useful little saw. Cuts very quickly and cleanly. While I haven't used it to cut dovetails yet, I find it VERY useful for flush cutting dowel plugs and the like. The teeth don't have any set (they feature an alternate bevel), and the blade is very flexible, so it's easy to make flush cuts without damaging the adjacent surface.
My only minor criticism is the location of the blade release button. Unless I'm careful, I occasionally have a tendency to accidentally push the release with my thumb while sawing. I have learned to avoid this mistake most of the time. Others may grip the handle differently, so this may not be an issue for you.
I notice that another reviewer has had problems with this saw bending. This could be the result of two factors;
1: It IS a very small, light weight saw intended for very fine cuts. Irwin makes other heavier duty models for more aggressive cutting.
2: There is an adjustment period for those of us who learned to saw with conventional "cut on the push stroke" hand saws. This is a Japanese style "cut on the pull stroke" saw, and as such requires a slightly different technique. The advantage to "cut on the pull stroke" is that the blade can be made much thinner and more flexible, resulting in a finer cut. The disadvantage is that one must be careful when pushing the saw back for the next cutting stroke as the blade IS more flexible.
