Why We Need a String Slot Marking Saw?​

As we know, before drilling any hole, we use a center punch to create a small notch that marks the exact drilling location and prevents the drill bit from wandering.

Similarly, for precision cutting tasks where exact placement is crucial, such as creating slots for strings in a slippery guitar nut, a specialized tool is needed. The String Slot Marking Saw is designed specifically for this purpose. By making an initial, very thin cut, it marks the exact location for the final slot. This guide ensures that your finishing saw or file aligns precisely, preventing any slipping and ensuring a clean, accurate slot.

Smaller notch than high-E string​

You can use this saw to make the first notch even for the high-E string. The thickness of blade is just 0.0078″ (0.2mm), thus is thinner than common high-E string gauge 0.009″(0.23mm).

Tiny teeth bite well​

The saw blade will not slip on even slippery string nuts.

Dual use for both strokes​

It can be used with both of Push and Pull stroke.

Black-colored saw blade​

The “blackish” saw blade helps you to see clearly where you are cutting.

Round edge of saw blade​
