These custom made saws are the perfect tool for cutting fret slots in new fingerboards or for cleaning and deepening the slots in existing fingerboards.
The 0.023" kerf (width of cut) is perfect for the tangs of all of our fretwires as well as most other common frets. The blade cuts on the pull stroke for more accurate alignment
The saws are made in Japan from high quality materials including nickel-plated brass spine and bamboo handle. The optional Adjustable Depth Stop allows the depth of cut to be set to perfectly suit the height of the fret tang.

A Fret Slotting Saw is one of the most used tools in a guitar maker's workshop. It is needed for virtually every fretting job from slotting the frets in the fingerboard of a new guitar to cleaning the slots in an old guitar before a refret.
The laser-cut Acrylic depth stop should be adjusted to cut a slot that is just slightly deeper than the tang of the frets. Fret slots which are too deep weaken the fingerboard, the depth stop eliminates this problem.
The fine teeth of the saw makes it useful for other guitar making applications such as cutting mortices for braces or cutting braces to length.
