Lie-Nielsen Dovetail Saw

Modeled on 19th century joinery saws, these are among the best you can buy for dovetailing and carcass joinery. Beveled brass backs lend perfect heft and stiffness, so they cut with virtually no added pressure from you. Each saw comes with use and maintenance tips.

The Standard Dovetail Saw has a 0.020″ steel plate with 15 ppi filed to a rip profile, set only 0.003″ either way, taking a kerf less than 1/32″ (0.026″) and making an excellent balance between speed and cut quality. The blade is 10″ x 1-5/8″ to the back; overall it’s 15″ x 4-1/4″.
