Using a miter jig I built for cutting fret slots, and this fret saw, I got perfectly straight cuts and a very consistent width that were perfect for my SteMac-bought pre-cut frets. For the price, a must-have for any aspiring luthier.

I’ve had this about a month and it’s getting rusty already, that’s them Chinese recycled soup cans for you🤣. Other than that, cuts the proper kerf for frets

Bought this to cut fret slots in fretboards. Works great and much less money than Stewmac.

A lâmina da serra é rígida indicando ser feita de aço de boa qualidade com tratamento térmico. Os dentes são bem finos (tem 18 dentes por polegada), a lâmina é presa pela parte superior em “uma calha” que sai do cabo do serrote que aumenta a rigidez da serra. O cabo é anatômico e de madeira. As dimensões que constam na descrição do site estão erradas - o comprimento da lâmina é 20,3cm (diz que é 20 polegadas), a largura é 4,44cm e a espessura 0,508mm. Acho que o preço é justo.

Saw cuts well and is small enough for cutting slots for frets on a guitar neck.

Pretty good little saw for the money. I purchased it to cut dovetails on small projects. Blade is straight and teeth are unexpectedly sharp, bonus! It’s a gem for the money. Probably work very well for general hobbyists as well.

I used this saw to cut fret slots in a guitar neck I was building. The kerf is perfect size to hold the fret wire tight. I used 2 small squeeze clamps and clamped a 1/4” piece of scrap to the side of the saw as a depth gauge and it works perfectly. Very nice saw.

Bought this to deepen fret slots on a mandolin's ebony fingerboard. It worked great for that, despite not being a dedicated saw made for luthier work. You could probably only do a few instruments before it gets too dull for that, though, so don't buy this as a long-term luthier saw.

Big fan of Zona saws anyways, but the little set of razor saws I had previously lack the mass to absorb heat which meant you had to rather tediously tap them back into place if they started to curve.Unlike those this has enough steel to soak up heat effortlessly, and the teeth face the right direction so I didn't need to flip the blade around before rehandling it.The spine material was soft enough to drill through in a minute or so with a hand drill, but the blade... well, after maybe ten or fifteen minutes I had a dimple in the steel and realized I should have just used the hacksaw to cut a slot.Naturally I take no points off for the blade being too hard to drill through, though I admit I hoped the teeth were backwards because the existing hole is on the wrong end for my purposes.The teeth weren't perfect but I would have filed in a progressive "mountain > cliff > wave crest" sort of pattern anyways so it hardly matters. Though I'm sure they would have sufficed for someone less eager to start filing 18 teeth per inch?I also cut the spine back some, as I didn't feel like trying to drill out an extra inch and a half of space in the handle, and it would have ruined the shape anyways.I have no clue how the original handle is btw, I opened the package, pulled it off, and started sizing a precut handle I had done the night before, though I later went with a swoopier shape since I didn't need all the meat in the grip I had originally and I found a piece with prettier grain to work on.For some reason when I try to upload a photo it seems to disappear, and I can't tell why umatrix is doing that so here it is: https://i.imgur.com/myzhCay.jpg

Excellent product. I like it. I am afraid whether I will not use it avoid spoiling its beautiful finish.
