I'm trying to find a good saw to do hand cut dovetails (and open to suggestions).  I think someone needs to do some editing.  Still trying to figure out how to plug it in.

 

Searching around and the first hit was this:

 

Z-Saw Dozuki Fine 240mm Japanese Back Saw 25 TPI 110/7121

 

$81.98

Brand Generic

Blade Material Alloy Steel

Surface Recommendation Wood

Power Source Corded Electric

Blade Length 0.01 Inches

That product description ain't the only thing that needs changed. That price needs work, too!!!

I have a saw similar to that.  Wasn't nearly that expensive though.  

 

I don't have much of an opportunity to cut dovetails these days.  But I've used this jig with successful results.  

 

 

Here is a little better pricing on the saw and it doesn't require electricity.

I have the manual version of that saw. Works great for me.

Probably wouldn't work for me since I'm left handed.

I'll have to look when i get out to the shop, but I think I have that same saw and paid something like $35 for it (2 years ago).

I made a jig to mark my dovetails and looked for it the other day but the shop gremlin moved it. It was a challenge back then to just prove to myself I could do it.

Since my birthday is coming up, my wife wanted to get the order in.  So sprung for this one, about $36

Good price! Where?

Amazon, since she was ordering something else and wanted to get free shipping.  Rockler had one too, and with this week's 20% coupon it was just about $1 more, but meant a 30 mile drive.

 

That's the one I have.  Checking Amazon, that's where I bought mine as well.
