 They're all 10 stars. November 21, 2008
Shark 10-2204 Dowel/Dovetail/Detail Saw - and anything else you want to cut. This is a comfortable saw for those little jobs.
These saws are: 1. sharp; 2. affordable; 3. easy to use (after a short learning curve).
These saws: 1. cut a thin kerf; 5. are very sharp; 6. allow you to do precision cutting.
And: they are very, very sharp (keep bandages with them - even though you've been warned - you'll have to find out for yourself).
I have moved ALL of my other hand saws to the back of the shop. These are a joy to use. I want to have each type (and have probably bought more than I have a need for). You will have to make a new miter box because these blades are too thin for any you have.
Some tips: 1. Don't pitch them in your toolbox or truck bed. These are precision tools and though they are quite strong, they are easily damaged. Use the blade guards that come with them. 2. Don't try to "muscle" them through a board. The old adage of "let the tool do the work" has never been truer. 3. Don't place the blade edge anywhere you don't want a mark left. I think I mentioned that they're very, very, very sharp.
(Since I don't know which review you might see first, I have left the same general review for each of these I own and added any specific thoughts for the individual saws.)
So fun I've started looking for more things to saw... October 16, 2008
There are a lot of different activities in woodworking, some more fun than others. This saw is enough to make crosscutting really, really fun. Now I need to work on some more projects.
Awesome February 25, 2008
I own many of the Shark range of saws, and each is an awesome tool. Ultra sharp and hold their edge well. Pull saws are much easier to use than traditional western-style push cutting saws. This saw is equally as good and with a flexible blade is betetr suited for smaller detail cuts. Very happy with saws fast cutting ability which also leaves a nice smooth edge.
Buy this saw January 7, 2008
Buy this saw if you do any type of finish carpentry. I use mine all the time. Very thin accurate cut.
Blade bends like a piece of paper so you can get it flush to the wood to cut off dowels when pinning a tenon. Plenty of other uses.
 Dovetail saw?... July 26, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this to try as a saw to cut dovetails or tenons. If you're cutting a door jam or cutting dowels, it works great. Just don't be fooled by the dovetail saw aspect of the ad. Way too flimsy. I'll be going with a back-saw, like I should have done in the first place.
