SUIZAN, a Japanese brand, makes high quality sharp blades This product is a Japanese flush cut saw. It is perfect for cutting dowels down to match its surrounding surface. With its thin blade, the saw will be able to bend to be pressed against the surface so the cut end will be completely flat. The sharp, yet flexible blade will be able to easily cut off excess wood without damaging the surrounding. Nowadays, the Japanese plane has become a popular tool in woodcrafting around the world due to its high quality. TIPS ON HOW TO USE Although the point of the flush cut saw is to cut off the dowel so it is at level with its surrounding surface, placing a slightly thick piece of paper beneath the cutting area will make sure that the surrounding surface does not get damaged. This can be done by creating a hole slightly larger than the diameter of the dowel in the paper, such as business cards, and sawing from on top of it. When using a dowel, glue is often used to put it into place, but once it is placed properly, make sure to remove the excess glue with a small wet paintbrush. Once it dries, it not only is hard to remove, but it also may interfere with the cutting process. EXCHANGING THE BLADE The saw blade is interchangeable. If your blade is broken, please buy a replacement blade. PRODUCT DETAILS - Product
