How to cut in the middle of panel (No drill required)
1
Mark the size you want to cut out with a marking knife.
Start cutting using the center curved part of the blade.
*Use rip and crosscut teeth according to the grain of the wood.
2
Saw carefully until it through.
Saw along the line to the depth you need.
3
Once it is through enough, stand the blade upright and saw to the end of the marking.
4
Repeat the same process.
You can cut out only the middle of the board without using a drill or electric saw.
How to make grooves
1
Draw a line with the width of the groove you want to make.
You can use a Kiridashi knife or Kebiki marking gauge for this purpose.
2
Saw along the line to the depth you need using the center curved part of the blade.
Saw along the line to the depth you need.
3
After cutting two lines, chisel them out with a wood chisel that matches the groove width.
ex. For a 3 mm wide groove, use a 3 mm wide chisel.
4
Done.
Since Azebiki saw can start to cut even the middle of the wood, you can make the groove and mortise as you want in any part of the wood.

This was bought as a gift, so all I can say is that it arrived on time as scheduled, and it looked nice.

Such a perfect tool for cutting into a flat surface without going over the edges. Great for handles, slots, and even rebates are easier with the convex blade shape. Comes very sharp. Ive had the issue plenty of time where i need to cut something and use a jig saw and get horrible tear out and non square, non straight edges. This is way easier to control, leaves a nice surface, no tear out, light weight. great tool

One of these is quite indispensable for starting a cut in the middle of a board. Also great for starting a cut across a board using a guide block, perhaps cut at an angle for say a sliding dovetail. The curved blade allows cutting with just a few teeth, like when starting a mortise or stopped dado. The flexible blade allows guiding the blade with a block clamped to the surface by pressing the blade up agains the guide during the stroke.Not something I use every day, but when I need it no other saw will do. I would definitely do it again and recommend.

What an amazing tool. I don't know how I managed all these years without it. So easy to start in tight places, so sharp to cut accurate thin lines. So dang useful. I love it. Now I just need a smaller version for tiny doll house furniture. I give it a 10 out of 10. 👍😉

The Japanese are masters of any craft they take on. I wish that quality was held in such high regard in American culture. Excellent and amazing saw!

This saw is very easy to use on hard or soft wood. Its not the most used saw that I have but it comes in very handy when I need to make a cut on the inside, like a mortise, window or vent. It has teeth for crosscut and rip cutting. Very easy to maneuver because of the thin kerf and saw size. If you don't have a jigsaw or working off grid,, this is a very good alternative.
