Product Information

Full details

The Temple Tool Dozuki 180mm is a professional-grade precision joinery saw tailored for woodworkers who demand extreme accuracy in tasks like dovetails and tenon shoulders. It provides a superior, ultra-thin kerf for minimal material waste, making it the perfect tool for detailed joinery in both soft and hardwoods. However, due to the extremely thin 0.2 mm blade, it requires a gentle hand to prevent bending or buckling during the pull stroke.

FAQs

Can I use this saw for ripping lumber?

This model is optimized for crosscutting and fine joinery. It is not recommended for heavy ripping tasks.

Is the blade replaceable?

Yes, the Temple Tool D-180 features a user-replaceable blade system.

How many teeth per inch (TPI) does it have?

This model features 30 TPI, designed for fine, ultra-smooth cuts.

What does the brass spine do?

The brass spine provides rigidity to the thin 0.2 mm blade, preventing it from buckling during the pull stroke.

Can this saw be used on hardwoods?

Yes, the SK85 steel is durable enough for both hardwoods and softwoods when used with proper technique.

Troubleshooting

The saw blade is wandering or not cutting straight

Ensure you are using a gentle pull motion. Excessive side-to-side force or downward pressure causes the thin blade to flex.

Blade feels dull or requires significant effort to cut

Check the teeth for buildup of resin or pitch. Clean with a non-abrasive solvent if necessary, or consider replacing the blade if it has reached the end of its life.

Blade has a slight kink or bend

While minor bends can sometimes be straightened by hand, the high-grade steel is prone to snapping. Always handle with care and avoid dropping the tool.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptionally clean and smooth cutting surfaces
Superior control due to the Japanese pull-cut design
High-grade SK85 steel maintains sharpness over time
Lightweight and balanced construction reduces fatigue
Traditional rattan-wrapped handle provides a secure, non-slip grip

Cons

The 0.2 mm blade is fragile and prone to bending if forced
Limited to shallow cut depths due to the stiffening spine
Not suitable for aggressive ripping or thick stock

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: the saw is ready for immediate use out of the box. To maintain your D-180:

Storage: Always store the saw in a dry, cool place to prevent the carbon steel blade from rusting. A light coat of camellia oil is recommended if you live in a humid climate.
Cleaning: Remove sawdust using a soft brush. Do not use water or harsh solvents.
Blade Care: Avoid contact with metal hardware or knots in the wood, which can chip the hardened teeth.
Blade Replacement: When the saw no longer tracks cleanly, purchase a replacement blade compatible with the D-180 model. The spine is designed to hold the blade securely until it needs to be swapped out.
