Lie-Nielsen Dovetail Saw

Modeled on 19th century joinery saws, these are the best you can buy for dovetailing & carcass joinery. Beveled brass backs lend perfect heft and stiffness, so they cut with virtually no added pressure from you. Each saw comes with use and maintenance tips.

The Standard Dovetail Saw has a 0.020" steel plate with 15 ppi filed to a rip profile, set only 0.003" either way, taking a kerf less than 1/32" (0.026") and making an excellent balance between speed and cut quality. The blade is 9" x 1-5/8" to the back; overall it's 14" x 2-3/8".

The Thin Plate Dovetail Saw has a 0.015" steel plate with 15 ppi filed to a rip profile, set only 0.003" either way, taking a kerf less than 1/32" (0.021") and making a smooth, very fast cut. The blade is 9" x 1-5/8" to the back; overall it's 14" x 2-3/8".

The Progressive Pitch Dovetail Saw has a 0.020" steel plate with rip profile teeth. The teeth at the tip of the saw are16ppi. Each tooth is approximately 0.001" larger than the previous tooth, reaching 9ppi at the handle. Like the standard dovetail saw, the kerf is less than 1/32" (0.026"). The progressive pitch dovetail is easy to start and cuts quickly and cleanly. The blade is 10" x 1-5/8" to the back; overall it's 15" x 2-3/8".
