SAW - Flush Cutting Saw Ryoba 125mm - 1151

This little tool is one of the BEST woodworking tools I've ever gotten. You can't beat the price. It is extremely versatile, and it's flexibility allows you to saw in many different types of ways. It works as a great chisel and even sanding. It's very easy to use and has cut through very thick wood. Highly recommend!

The blade is as flexible as it should be for cutting protruding dowels. The saw teeth are fine and sharp for a perfect flush cut. Great Tool!!

I have played Fiddle for 27 years (started at age 44) and I like to repair / restore old violins as a hobby and put them back into playing condition> I recently had an old Stainer violin I was restoring and I had to fit new pegs to the pegbox. I spotted this saw and wanted to try one - IT PERFORMED GREAT! This saw has no "set" to the teeth and it cuts on the pull stroke. The blade is flexible. In fitting the individual pegs, I was able to easily cut the end of the Ebony peg that protrudes through the peg box off flush with the outside surface of the peg box. One edge of the say has fine teeth and the other side somewhat larger teeth. I could easily keep the blade flat against the side of the peg box and with approximately 5 pull strokes, cut the end of the peg flush with the side of the pegbox, leaving a glass smooth surface on the end of the Ebony peg. I could then easily proceed to put the proper slight convex curve on the and of the peg using extra fine grit sandpaper on a flat surface to properly complete the peg fitting process.I was a cabinetmaker and finish carpenter by trade, and I can easily see how this saw could be used for a variety of applications - I wish I had had one years ago when I was doing that work for a living. An excellent product, an excellent value for the money and a must have on the bench if you do fine woodworking or Luthier work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This is a nice little saw. It is tiny with a very thin blade, sharp teeth and works just as it should. Flush cutting without marring the finished product was a breeze. I'd worry if a user were to try push cutting with it as the blade could be easily bent. But as a pull saw it's great.

Very good quality and cuts smoothly. You are able to make paper thin cuts with ease. Would definitely recommend this saw for anyone wanting to clean up dovetail or flush trim.

I was able to use this to trim a white oak plug and it was very fast and even. I typically use these for hardwood edge band,so happy for the purchase.

This little saw is just great. I know it's supposed to be for flush cutting dowels or protruding pins and it is great at that, but is so versatile for other tasks too. The plate is very thin and flexible and has a fine and coarse cut side. Both sides of the plate cut on the pull stroke and with no set it has a very thin kerf. As said, with no set on the teeth the saw does cut flush without damaging or marring the adjacent surfaces. It's also outstanding for doing quick precise cuts on trim pieces, quarter round, or other fine detail work. In fact, this would make a great hobby saw if you're into balsa or basswood for something like RC planes or other scale modeling. The cut, like most Japanese saws, is highly efficient and leaves behind a smooth surface especially on the fine side of the plate. I use it for all kinds of odd jobs around the house. My dad was so impressed by it that I bought one for him as well. For the price and utility, everyone should have one of these saws around the house even if you're not a woodworker.

Bought this a while ago and finally had the opportunity to use it. Cuts like butter. So useful for getting into tight corners, couldn't be happier with my purchase and the quality of the product!

Excellent

Cumpre o que deve,enverga mais que qualquer serrote comum sem empenar,pelo pouco tempo de uso é complicado avaliar a durabilidade,dito isto parece ser feito de um bom aço inoxidavel então deve durarar alguns anos,mesmo usando no trabalho diário.Não é bom para peças maiores com mais de 5cm pois ele dobra fácil,afinal tem perto de 1mm de espessura,para o que foi feito ele serve bem.O periódo de experiência foi curto,perto de 2 meses.

Had one bought in Japan. I liked it so much that I bought another one through Amazon Spain.

Scharfe, kleine Säge. Macht einen sehr guten Eindruck!

Sembra un seghetto quasi innocente, per le sue dimensioni e la sua sottigliezza. In realtà è uno strumento micidiale, di grande accuratezza, e che va maneggiato con cura ed attenzione. Le seghe ‘Ryoba’, a doppia lama, hanno il potenziale per eseguire tagli assiali e controvena sulle superfici di profilati di legno sia massello, che combinato. Ma non tutte sono in grado di farlo efficacemente e senza insistere con la pressione da applicare sul manico in fase traente (quella che trincia il materiale). Questo seghetto ha il pregio di mantenersi molto sottile, ma senza piegarsi facilmente e dunque di affondare con facilità ed essere tirati senza troppo sforzo. Sia con la dentatura grezza (in controvena), che di rifinitura (in vena) i tagli sono impeccabili e non danno luogo a sbeccature di alcun tipo. Ovviamente il ciclo di vita dell’affilatura dipende dall’uso più o meno intensivo che si farà dell’arnese. Ma un hobbista che lo usi sporadicamente senza sostituirlo per tre, quattro anni, se l’è già ripagato per i risultati che è in grado di ottenerne. La lama non arrugginisce facilmente, ma va ovviamente ripulita di tanto in tanto con alcol isopropilico (acetone, acquaragia o diluente nitro a mio parere sono troppo aggressivi) e lubrificata con olio di vaselina. A questo punto la lama può durare anche decenni
