One for each house! “Palm-sized” foldable saw is effective

It’s convenient to have a saw, but it’s a little hard to buy.

Saw is one of the carpentry tools that custom beginners often wonder if they should have one. When you wholesale a board or lumber at a home improvement store, there is a service that will cut it at most places if you ask on the spot. However, when I took it home and assembled them, the size was slightly different when I actually applied it.

 

If you want to do woodworking in earnest, you’ll want to prepare an electric saw, but if you want a saw because it’s a simple one, it’s a bit of a problem. If it is too cheap, it may not be sharp or easy to use, but if you buy a proper one, it will be big and it will be difficult to store it … Many custom beginners are hesitant. Is it not?

 

Folding saw “SK11 replaceable blade type folding saw”. Compact size that fits in your pocket when folded

 

Discover a compact saw that you can easily use!

One of them, the author, bought the product “SK11 replaceable blade type folding saw” after investigating it. Not only can it be folded at the grip and blade to make it compact, but it is also a saw that can be used for a long time by replacing only the blade even if the blade is replaceable and chipped.

 

Of the several types, I chose “for woodworking” this time. With a blade length of 12 cm, a thickness of 0.6 mm, and 16 blades, it is said to be “for cutting general wood, PVC pipes, bamboo, plywood, laminated lumber, etc.” and seems to be highly versatile.

 

From multiple types, choose “for woodworking”, which seems to be highly versatile. All products in the series use a common grip, so it can be attached to other types of blades.

 

The size when used is 5.3 cm in width, 26 cm in length, 1.9 cm in thickness, and weighs 131 g. When unlocked, it can be folded inward, almost half the length, and small enough to fit in your pocket.

After pulling out and extending the blade, lock it on the handle to fix it.

 

So, it is a very compact and easy-to-use saw, but because it is small, it is difficult for the “lever principle” to work, and I was worried that it would be difficult for women to handle it because it requires that much power. I tried cutting a 2×4 square lumber.

Despite its mini size, its sharpness is outstanding!

The writer’s strength is not strong, but first the tip of the blade gets caught in the grain of wood, and then it just repeats the reciprocating motion back and forth. It’s not as easy as electric, but I was able to cut it without any problems. Of course, I was careful, but on the way, I didn’t think it was dangerous, and I thought that even women could handle it reasonably. Since the blade length is short, the number of reciprocating movements will be large, but it is difficult to handle even if the blade or handle is too long, so it is the right size for amateur training. For women, if the grip is thick, it will be difficult to grip.

The blade will be firmly caught with just a little force

I wasn’t used to handling saws, but if you move it carefully back and forth, it’s fun to cut the lumber more and more.

Not to mention custom, but because it is a size that can be easily carried, it seems to be useful for camping and disaster prevention. It is also convenient for dismantling work when disposing of furniture, so it will be useful to have one at home. In addition to woodworking, we also have a lineup for resin and light metal, so I wanted to prepare one type of spare blade and aim to become a custom master.
