Z-Saw Woodpecker Mini Panel Saw

The Woodpecker Mini Panel Saw is a smaller version of a traditional Japanese panel saw - a saw with a special tooth on the tip to be able to cut from the center of a board. Though diminutive compared to its larger kin, the 6” blade saw can cut boards and square lumber up to 1.5” thick. The pull-saw style and cane-wrapped handle give good ergonomics, grip and control. Z-saws are produced by Okada Hardware Manufacturing Company, established in 1943. To make their flexible and super-tough saws, they use a method called hard impulse, which is the process of instant heating and cooling of the cutting edge. Quick, accurate, tough, and good at cutting to the heart of the matter, the Mini Woodpecker is ideal for small work like joinery or chasing down insects.  Specifications & Care Recommended for plywood, general lumber, thin boards up to 1.5" thick Cuts material up to 1.5" thick Type of blade: Back saw / Cross cut 18 TPI Replacement blades available Wood handle wrapped with cane for g
