I need a dozuki style saw as part of building my own guitar. I've been searching on line and have figured out a few things but other things got me more confused. I know I want one with at least an 8 inch blade - anything shorter forces you to make lots of short choppy strokes rather than a few long full strokes. Pretty sure I want one with a back spline for strength. I know it restricts the ability to make a flush cut wider than the width of the blade but I can accept that. Then I get confused. Some web sites say all the different type of saws work well for crosscut as well as ripping. Other say not. Some reviews complain about busting teeth easily. And is the replaceable blade style good or bad - does the blade stay solid and tight or get all wobbly, etc. I understand you can't sharpen these blades or at least you need to be a specialist to sharpen them.
So I'm looking for advice on a Japanese style saw for general use. Also looking for recommendations where to buy it from.
Thanks,
Doug
