It's removable for cutting off the ends of a blank fingerboard, or for use with our Fret Slotting Miter Box.</p><p><b>TIP:</b> The blade features extremely sharp teeth, with precise .023" kerf to match our fretwire. Because it cuts faster than a standard fret saw, it must be held perpendicular to the fretboard. If not, you can quickly cut a wider slot than you expect. We recommend our Fret Slotting Miter Box for keeping the saw in proper alignment.</p><p>Overall length: 19-3/4"(501.65mm)</p><p>Cutting length: 9-3/4"(247.65mm)</p><p>Blade depth: 1-3/4" (44.45mm)</p><p>Cut accurate 90-degree slots when you use the saw with our Fret Slotting Miter Box.

Spend less time filing fret ends! This is the best tool for trimming the ends off fretwire. A Stewart-MacDonald exclusive, our custom-made steel cutter has improved features you won't find on hardware store nippers. The jaws are specially hardened for fret work, and they're profiled and flush-ground to cut the wire close to the fretboard. The result is a cleaner cut without pulling the wire, so you'll need to do less filing.

Precision cuts for braces, nut blanks and more! The finely-crafted, astonishingly thin .0075 inch alloy steel blade on this featherweight mini backsaw is just right for short close-tolerance cuts: making perfect joints for braces, trimming nut blanks, making crack repair cleats, violin work, and more. This precision is possible because, unlike Western saws, the traditional Japanese-cut teeth work on the pull stroke.
