Gyokucho Japanese Saws Set with TPE Handles is a set of four beautifully accurate 240mm Gyokucho Japanese saws. This set will cover crosscutting and sheet materials, ripping and resawing, dovetailing, tenons, fine joinery and flush cutting.
Gyokucho razorsaws, the original replaceable blade Japanese saws, have long been renowned for their cutting efficiency and excellent durability. The latest generation of Gyokucho saws have blue handles made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), a remarkable material that is simultaneously hard and resilient yet feels velvety to the touch and affords a superb grip.
Gyokucho 400 TPE Proton Power Saw Ibarame Kataba 240mm
The Gyokucho 400 Ibarame Kataba has quite a stiff blade and 13 crosscut teeth per inch. This reasonably aggressive saw is excellent for crosscutting timber to length, making square or angled cuts for larger scale joinery and is also a great choice for zipping through panels in solid timber, sheet goods, veneered ply and composites. It leaves a smooth surface and almost no breakout on the exit side. The stubby spine provides a little extra support for the blade whilst still allowing deep cuts to be made.
Gyokucho 373 TPE Professional Yokobiki Dozuki Saw 240mm
The Gyokucho 373 is a professional crosscut dozuki, an accurate saw with a very thin plate and a full length spine used for similar tasks to a western carcase saw, such as trimming components to final length or defining the shoulders of half laps and housings.
Gyokucho TPE Blue Hard Ryoba 666 240mm
Bluehard blades are designed for precise and careful work, they have a slightly shallower angle on the toothline making them less aggressive than a standard ryoba and the sawplate is heat treated to be a little stiffer.
Gyokucho 1151 Double Edged Flush Cutting Saw 125mm
Flush cutting saws are delicate precision tools used to trim plugs, dowels, wooden nails and through tenons flush with the surrounding surface. The crosscut teeth of this saw have absolutely no set, so they do not scratch the surface. The blade is extremely flexible, light pressure with the index finger of your other hand is all that is required to hold the blade down onto the workpiece and achieve a truly flush cut.
