Hey Everybody,

I'm curious what kind of saws everyone uses for hand cutting dovetails ( if you do that kinda stuff)?

Right now I have a japanese style saw with 25 tpi. It works okay, but I'm having trouble getting repeatable results. I've read that since most of a dovetail cut is a rip, the blade should have less teeth, say 15 -18 tpi, this would make it cut faster which I think would be better. I've also read that a thin kerf saw is good because it helps guide the saw blade as you move through the cut, although it is harder to correct if you screw up.

Any Suggestions?

thanks

Dave
