Which Should You Buy?

Temple Tool Co Dozuki Rip-Cut 240mm

The rip-cut companion to Temple's crosscut dozuki. Designed for cutting along the grain — tenon cheeks, rip cuts in thin stock, and splitting joints. Same exceptional build quality.

Pros

  • + Purpose-built rip-cut teeth for clean grain-direction cuts
  • + Same premium build as the crosscut version
  • + Thin kerf reduces waste
  • + Excellent for tenon cheeks

Cons

  • Only for rip cuts — you'll need the crosscut version too
  • Premium price
  • Limited availability

Temple Tool Co Dozuki Universal 150mm

A compact dozuki that handles both cross and rip cuts. The 150mm blade is ideal for small-scale joinery, model making, and detail work where a full-size saw would be unwieldy.

Pros

  • + Versatile universal-cut teeth — works in any direction
  • + Compact 150mm blade for tight spaces
  • + Lower price entry point to Temple Tool quality
  • + Perfect for detail work and small joints

Cons

  • Too small for full-size furniture joinery
  • Limited cutting depth due to compact blade
  • Back spine limits depth of cut
