KREATOR Fret Saw KRTH80301 — 160 mm blade, 18 TPI, fretsaw for precise wood and metal cutting

Fret Saw KREATOR KRTH80301 is a precision tool with a 160 mm blade and an 18 TPI tooth pitch, developed for fine sawing tasks in woodworking, model-making and light metalworking. The frame holds the blade tensioned for controlled, narrow kerf cuts; a wooden handle provides a comfortable grip for extended detailed work. Its design supports accurate curves, inlays and small part trimming where neat edges and minimal material loss are required.

Advantages

The 160 mm blade with 18 TPI enables smooth, fine cuts in thin materials and reduces splintering along edges. The wooden handle offers tactile feedback and ergonomic control during delicate operations. A quick-release blade mechanism simplifies blade changes and adjustment of tension, saving time when switching between cuts or replacing worn blades. The light, open-frame design improves visibility of the cutting line for precision work.

Suitable for

• Detailed joinery and inlay work in hardwoods and softwoods
• Model-making and miniature woodworking
• Trimming and shaping thin sheet metals and non-ferrous metals
• Repair work requiring precise small cuts and controlled kerf

Key specifications

• Blade length: 160 mm
• Tooth pitch: 18 TPI (teeth per inch) for fine cutting
• Frame type: open-frame fretsaw for improved visibility
• Handle: wooden handle for ergonomic control
• Suitable materials: thin wood, plywood, veneer, soft metals and non-ferrous sheet materials

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a bench vise or with clamps to prevent movement. Install the blade with teeth oriented for cutting toward the handle and engage the quick-release mechanism to set proper tension. Mark the cut line clearly and start with light, controlled strokes to establish the kerf. Use steady, even pressure and follow the line slowly for curved or intricate shapes. Periodically inspect the blade for wear and replace it when cutting quality decreases.

Usage recommendations

Use fine 18 TPI blades for clean edges on thin materials and switch to a slightly coarser blade only when working with thicker plywood or harder materials. Keep blades tensioned correctly to avoid wandering cuts; wear eye protection and a dust mask when cutting materials that produce fine dust or metal filings.
