Martin-IT Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi, while cutting a piece of cherry 3/8" thick, the saw hesitated and then starting loosing teeth aka flying off. Now, the blade has lost more than 1/2 of its teeth. I bought it a few years back at woodcraft and I have always been careful with it. I have used it may be 20 times max. The teeth were razor sharp, and also very thin. Is it something that simply happens with them ? Another question, Woodcraft is stating it has a replaceable blade, but I cannot find it on their website. Leevalley has some Dozuki and blades (and free shipping at the moment). Between brand,is there a chance I could buy another brand of the blade and it would fit on the handle ? There is a 20$ price difference between the full saw and just the blade, I just hate to throw away a handle that still looks like new. mratin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortan D Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I experienced the same problem with a Dozuki "Z" saw. I switched to a Gyokucho Dozuki saw and it is more robust although a bit slower. And no, blades are not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted August 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Is there by any chance a bit of metal buried in the wood? Impulse hardened teeth don't cut that very well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I didn't really pay attention to the brand, but on the latest podcast of FWW's Shop talk live they were talking about a Dozuki saw that tends to lose its teeth. Maybe give it a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
