What makes this saw special is not only that it’s made by Rob Cosman, a guy who cuts thousands of dovetails every year, but also that it was designed after years of teaching—and listening to—woodworkers who have taken Rob’s dovetailing seminars. Not surprisingly, the end result is a sweet saw with one of the fastest learning curves.
My only major hang-up is the price; $250 is a lot to pay for a saw. However, this saw eliminates one of the hurdles encountered with trying to master a new skill. Used in conjunction with Rob’s DVDs, you’ll be able to match your stance and saw stroke— just like taking a class with the expert himself. The only downside is that you’ll no longer be able to blame your tools.
