I have a Kataba Z-saw, purchased 6 years ago as an experiment to work 10x10 cypress timber. It worked very well and I continue to use it regularly. I work mostly cherry/oak/maple, and don't use a hand saw much, but it has become the first I reach for when the need arises. I just replaced the (disposable) blade, so should be set for another 6 years.
I'm not able to offer any insight on how to avoid broken teeth, because it's never happened to me. I don't typically trim dowels with it, but I suspect anything less than 1/2" is much too narrow for the length and spacing of the teeth. I'd think it would be a bear to start, with such a small bearing area as offered by a dowel...?
Bruce, thanks for cleaning things up.
