Veneer Saws, Inlay Saws, Flush Cutting Saw, Grooving Saw, Musical Saw, Fretsaws

Saws without offset are used in the main for cutting veneers. We carry three different veneer saws. Additionaly the inlay saw made by THOS. FLINN can also be regarded as a veneer saw. Besides these, for the tiniest and most delicate of dovetails, there is the jeweller's saw. It has no offset and must be guided with a steady hand and not too much pressure, or it will be in danger of buckling. Do not attempt any deep cuts with it. If the saw has once bent the cut will not run true. But treat it well and it will reward you with excellent quality cuts.

Thomas Flinn's PAX flush cutting saw is a genuine competitor for the Japanese Kugihiki. The British saws and all veneer saws can be sharpened when they need it.

High quality swiss fretsaw bows you find on this page too as well as the finest fretsaw blades, made by Eberle.

Fret saw frame PEBARO Automatic
This fret saw by Pebaro eliminates the fiddly business when changing blades. The handle folds down and relaxes the tension on the blade. The two levers turn 360 degrees to release the old blade, you pop the new one in, and the levers are retightened to clamp it firmly in place. The handle is then pivoted back to tension the blade. You can adjust the position of the levers to keep the saw’s throat clear by pulling them straight out, which disengages them from the tensioning screws. Manufactured in Germany! To see the instructions, click on the picture!
Height of bow: 335 mm (13 in.)
for fret saw blades 130 mm (5 in.)
Comes without blades!

How to keep the musical saw clean and free of rust:

These saws are not stainless steel. Using stainless steel would spoil the sound. Hand sweat is the enemy of these saws. It will leave ugly black marks on the saw in a very short time. So one must, as with many other musical instruments, wipe the saw down after use with a dry cotton cloth. It is also good to oil the steel, especially if the saw is to be stored for any period of time. Put a couple of drops of a light oil (like sewing machine oil) on a cotton cloth and wipe the blade down with it. Avoid storing the saw in damp or unheated areas. If the saw blade should become marked, one must simply live with it. Regular oiling will tend to reduce the visibility of the marks. But do not use any kind of abrasive material or metal polish on the blade!
