@@derekcohen1000 that seems to be a 15 tpi blade. I've got Olson 12.5 tpi skip blades. I wonder why they don't cut the same. Maybe technique... Or they're not as hard possibly. Thanks

Which saw do you prefer Derek ? I'm thinking of getting the birdcage version ? Cheers William

Hi William. If I was to purchase a new KC fretsaw for dovetailing, I would just get a 3" one with swivel heads for the blade. That will give you all the depth of cut you need, even for wide cabinets. At 3", even the aluminium ones would be light and nimble. I have 5" versions because that is what I was testing at the time Lee Marshall and I were designing these fretsaws for woodworkers. Of the 5", I prefer the pre-birdcage version as it is lighter. The birdcage design was a solution to the high cost of titanium.
