Model No: 18401

Description:

The Zetsaw VIII H-265 is a folding Anahiki-nokogiri Japanese Saw. Traditionally, Anahiki-nokogiri were crosscut saws, used for cutting logs, beams and other rough dimensioning work. Today, anahiki-nokogiri are the most popular carpentry saw amongst Japanese woodworkers, as it's ideal for cutting across various types of solid wood.

The Kataba blade of the Zetsaw VIII H-265 Folding Japanese Saw has a Universal tooth configuration. This means that it can be used to make rip, cross and slant (mitre) cuts. The teeth are impulse hardened for greater blade longevity, and has an effective cutting length of 265mm.

This saw is marketed directly at construction workers, the construction industry and "on the go" carpenters. The folding, aluminium handle has an elastomer skin for comfort and grip, but also has a bi-angle blade position. With a simple push of the blade release button, the blade angle can be increased for ease of sawing in those hard to reach situations. Which also reduces hand and arm fatigue, whilst in use.

Benefits & Features:

Kataba Blade: The Kyusunme length blade is engineered to tackle any cutting tasks that may be required of it. Can be used on sawn wood, plywood, and laminates.

Universal Cut Teeth: The universal tooth pattern means this saw can handle any sawing situation.

Pull Saw: Cutting on the pull stroke, rather than the push stroke, reduces the risk of blade flex whilst cutting.

Blade Replacement System: Reduces the need to get teeth sharpened and re-set, when in the middle of a project. Simply replace the blade and continue on with what you were doing. This system also means you will not have to buy a complete new saw, should the blade break. Replacement blades for this saw can be purchased here.

Hook Fixing: For easy and speedy blade replacement. No need to have multiple saws, just swap the blade out for different tasks, with compatible blades. Great for smaller workshops with limited storage space. Click here to download the PDF guide on replacing the blades on saws with hook fixing blades.

Aluminium Handle: An elastomer-skinned, aluminium handle for a comfortable, slip-resistant grip. Replacement Pin Fit kits for the handle can be purchased here.

Bi-Angle Position: For ease of cutting in difficult situations and reduction of arm and hand fatigue.

Impulse Hardening Technology: Treating the teeth in this way helps keep them sharp for much longer than conventional methods. Whilst the core of the blade remains tough, yet flexible, to reduce bending and buckling during use.

Blade Length: 265mm of effective cutting, with an overall blade length of 299mm.

Blade Thickness: 0.6mm.

Blade Pitch: 1.75mm [15TPI]

Kerf: 0.92mm. Cuts with the Zetsaw VIII H-265 Folding Japanese Saw produce less sawdust and reduce wood waste, than conventional Western saws.
