The “Little Demon” Dozuki from Temple Software Co. is a compact 6” blade noticed with a common reduce tooth sample. I used to be skeptical of the declare of being efficient with rip and crosscutting as I’ve different saws that, whereas they carry out wonderful, have a compromise. Often with the rip reducing velocity as they’ve wonderful tooth for the crosscut.
The identify comes from the Oni-Ba, Demon Tooth, that’s positioned at 7/16” intervals in a row of 25 TPI crosscut tooth, that are taller than these on my different saws. In entrance of the Oni-Ba, which doesn’t seem to have any set, is a deep gullet to help in eradicating waste for a fast reduce. To ease beginning, the heel of the blade has solely crosscut tooth. That is important as I attempted beginning in the course of the blade, and the gullet would seize the nook of the oak I used for testing. After beginning the noticed reduce with out
The noticed labored as promised. With such a wonderful tooth rely crosscutting was a breeze. The actual check was to see how it could rip as I assumed the wonderful tooth can be a hindrance regardless of the Oni-Ba and gullets. To my shock it labored properly, and quick. A lot in order that the noticed requires consideration when reducing. The kerf is within the center vary at 0.02” which I discover to be within the candy spot. Skinny sufficient to maintain the reduce straight however with just a little room to steer the reduce in case you sense it getting away from you. It occurs.
The noticed is well-balanced and feels good within the hand. Cane particulars assist to make sure you’re constantly holding the noticed in the identical place. They appear good too. It’s a small noticed and has a restricted rip capability with the backbone 1 7/8” away from the innovative on the heel of the blade. However this ought to be loads for many furnishings joinery and excellent for small-scale work. Personally, for tenons and dovetails, I like a smaller noticed to match the dimensions of labor at hand. The blade is replaceable by eradicating a well-machined nut and bolt. I discovered it best to take away and set up the blade with the backbone hooked up.
This may be an amazing first noticed and I guess as your noticed assortment grows it’ll proceed to be the one you’ll seize essentially the most. —David Johnson rides his bikes within the hills of Los Angeles.
