YATO Japanese Ryoba Double-Sided Saw 660 mm, 7/12 TPI

The YATO Japanese Ryoba Double-Sided Saw is a precision hand tool that masterfully blends traditional Japanese carpentry design with modern engineering. Featuring a unique dual-tooth configuration on a single, flexible blade, it is engineered for effortless, clean, and highly accurate cuts in wood, making it indispensable for fine woodworking, joinery, and on-site construction tasks.

Key Features

• Dual-Purpose Ryoba Design: One side has 7 TPI (teeth per inch) for fast, aggressive rip cuts along the grain. The opposite side has 12 TPI for smooth, fine crosscuts.
• Flexible SK5 Steel Blade: Crafted from high-carbon SK5 steel, the blade offers exceptional flexibility for cutting "on the pull stroke." This allows for greater control, thinner kerf (cut width), and the ability to work in tight, confined spaces.
• Adjustable Blade Angle: The blade is screw-mounted to the handle, allowing you to adjust and lock it at various angles to suit specific cutting needs and improve ergonomics.
• Ergonomic Non-Slip Handle: The long handle is made from durable ABS plastic with soft TPR inserts, providing a secure, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use.
• Induction-Hardened Teeth: The cutting teeth undergo a specialized surface hardening process, making them significantly more durable and wear-resistant for a longer-lasting sharp edge.
• Universal Cutting Ability: The tooth geometry is designed for effective cutting both with and across the wood grain, eliminating the need to switch between specialized saws for most tasks.

User Benefits

• Two Saws in One: Replace separate rip and crosscut saws with this single, versatile tool, saving space and cost.
• Unmatched Precision: Achieve cleaner, straighter, and more accurate cuts with minimal tear-out thanks to the pull-stroke action and fine teeth.
• Effortless Operation: The thin blade and pull-cut design require less force than Western push-saws, reducing user fatigue and increasing control.
• Perfect for Detailed Work: The flexibility and thin profile make it ideal for intricate joinery (like dovetails and tenons), flush cuts, and working in hard-to-reach areas.
• Professional Quality, Accessible Price: Experience the advantages of a genuine Japanese-style saw from the trusted YATO brand without a premium price tag.

How to Use & Care

• Use the 7 TPI side for cutting along the wood grain (rip cuts) and the 12 TPI side for cutting across the grain (crosscuts).
• Let the saw do the work—apply gentle pressure on the pull stroke and ease off on the return push.
• Secure your workpiece firmly to prevent vibration and ensure a clean cut.
• Store the saw in a dry place. Use a blade guard or sheath to protect the teeth from damage and prevent accidents.
• Clean the blade with a soft cloth after use. For stubborn sap or resin, use a solvent appropriate for steel.
