This saw isn't your go-to choice for standard through-cut dovetailing in 3\/4 stock or cutting tails for both sides of a drawer simultaneously. For such conventional tasks, our 12\" Stiletto Dovetail Saw shines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstead, consider the Half-Blind Dovetail Saw for integrating half-blind dovetails in 3\/4 up to 6\/4 stock, or when working with through-cuts and off-cuts in 1\/4 up to 2\/4\" stock. While it's capable of handling 3\/4 stock, it's important to note that the .015 plate thickness limits its heat dissipation capacity. Excessive heat generated by friction may cause expansion in the ultra-thin metal, a factor often overlooked by enthusiasts enamored with super-thin plates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn essence, our Half-Blind Dovetail Saw is a specialized tool tailored for delicate tasks.
