## Description

Footprint Dovetail Saw - Made in Britain - 20 TPI - Brass Back - Beech Handle

## Features

- ULTRA-FINE DOVETAIL CUTS WITH 20 TPI BLADE - Rough, splintered joints ruin fine woodworking projects. The Footprint 8” Dovetail Saw features a 200 mm spring alloy steel blade with 20 TPI for crisp, tear-free dovetail shoulders & ultra-precise joinery work. Engineered for detailed control, this spring alloy dovetail saw is ideal for cabinetry, furniture-making, & precision woodcuts. Trusted by woodworkers across generations, it's a Sheffield woodworking saw built to exacting British standards.
- BRASS BACK FOR CONSISTENTLY STRAIGHT & TRUE KERFS – Inaccurate kerfs can throw off your entire dovetail layout. That’s why this back saw is fitted with a rigid brass spine that adds essential weight & support, keeping the blade steady & true through each stroke. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned craftsman, this traditional rigid brass spine saw ensures cleaner, more consistent cuts on hardwood & softwood alike, making it a vital addition to any joiner’s precision woodworking toolkit.
- EASY SERVICING WITH REPLACEABLE BRASS SCREWS – Standard saws often become useless once damaged, but not this replaceable screw dovetail saw. Designed with three precision brass screws, the blade can be easily replaced or re-secured when needed using common workshop hand tools. This thoughtful feature extends the tool’s working life, making it ideal for long-term use in workshops or job sites. Proudly manufactured in Sheffield, it’s a sustainable solution that supports serious woodworking.
- FATIGUE-FREE CONTROL WITH BEECHWOOD HANDLE – Poor grip can cause slips & inaccuracies in tight joinery. The beechwood handle saw is shaped for comfort, offering a firm, ergonomic grip that reduces hand fatigue during long cutting sessions. Its smooth, varnished finish blends comfort with control, helping woodworkers maintain precision across repeated cuts with less strain & slippage risk. Whether dovetailing or tenoning, the traditional British handle design keeps you in command at every step.
- RESHARPENABLE TEETH FOR LONG-LASTING PRECISION – Disposable blades limit your control & cost more over time. Footprint Dovetail Saw features hardened & tempered teeth that can be sharpened & reset repeatedly for peak cutting performance using standard saw sharpening tools. Unlike modern throwaways, it offers a long service life & consistent accuracy, ideal for dedicated craftsmen. Footprint is the last hand-tool drop forge in the UK & has been manufacturing in Sheffield since the 18th century.
