Gary,the .028 kerf was always going to be a touch oversize,i'm trying to figure whu Ben recommended it,although 5 thou is not a huge amount,doubt your frets will lock in securely.And,just a tip,keep your saw square to the board surface,any wobble will widen the kerf slightly

Darrel I have a new Irwin that cuts a .022" had an old one that was beat up but it still works but now the new one will just be frets no loaning to neighbors. The Shark saw is from CB Gitty and has  the not so snug kerf.

I recommended the Shark saw after ordering it, cutting some slots with it in and testing those slots with several of our fret wires (medium/medium, medium/higher, narrow/lower) and it seemed to be a nice snug fit. I do not know what is going on with them but until i can get it sorted out I have removed the recommendation and listing from my store.

just to recap on the shark saw.

I put a flat bar onto the blade to stiffen it up.

cut some slots today and a midge dick to big. so had to glue them in.

just bought a Zona Razor Saw Set 3.so we'll see how things go with that.

this what I did to my shark saw but took it off and put it on my Zona saw.

the shark cut was a little to wide for frets but the Zona was spot on.
