fret saw

hi

been looking at a fret saw in lee valley catalogue .

it cuts a .021 kerf.

i was under the impression .023 was the prefered kerf width?/

thx eor

For what is .023 the prefered kerf width?

If you are talking about cutting fret slots then two thou' is hardly going to be noticeable. The fret wire I use is said to require a 0.6mm slot but I use a Japanese Ikedame slotting saw with a kerf of 0.5mm and it works fine. Maybe I just hit the fret wire a little harder.
