What Size Saw for Fret Slots?

When it comes to sAWS, one size does not fit all. The type of saw you need for fret slots depends on the width and depth of the slots you need to cut.

For example, if you need to cut shallow slots for inlay work, a thin-kerf Japanese pull saw will do the trick nicely. For deeper slots, such as those needed for binding or purfling, a thicker-kerf Western-style back saw will be your best bet.

And if you need to cut really deep slots, such as those needed for intonation adjustment on a guitar, then you’ll need a speciality saw known as a fret file.

So, when it comes to choosing a saw for fret slots, the size of the saw you need depends on the size of the slots you need to cut. Choose wisely and your sawing job will go smoothly.
