The compact range of saws can do much the same as the full size saws, just in a handy size which is probably a bit easier to fit in your tool chest. A very useful crosscut saw which will work in most materials including softwoods and hardwood (not exotics), OSB, MDF, ply, laminates. Despite this being a crosscut saw, the fine teeth make this a good for dovetailing, but possibly opt for the Compact Jushi saw if you'd like a little more speed. I'd opt for the bigger 240mm rip cut version if working in wood thicker than 1/2'' (12mm), but this will work a treat on thinner stock.

The Gyokucho Razorsaws cut on the pull stroke. The blades are thin, but the teeth are very tough: perfect for making smooth, clean and precise cuts. Each tooth is impulse hardened and heated 0.003 to 0.005 seconds one at a time, making only surface of each tooth very hard. The hardened teeth is harder than sharpening file, so with correct use will stay sharp for many years to come. The blades are nickel plated which helps prevent rust, and will also assist in stopping gunk such as sap getting stuck to the blade. As the blade is nickel plated you can wipe them down with warm soapy water, but we still suggest drying the blade.

No need to use excessive power, let the weight of the saw do the work.
