HONG DUI KM-19 6" Coping/Fret Combo Saw
DESCRIPTION :
The Ultimate Coping Saw Upgrade - HONGDUI KM-19 Coping Saw, and not only is it the best coping saw on the market but it is the only one that doubles as a fret saw. From the quick stock removal to the tightest curves, the KM-19 Coping/Fret Saw is going to take your woodworking to the next level.
The body is made of 7075 Aerospace-grade aluminum and has unique mortise-and-tenon mechanical joints, giving you much higher tension than any single-body aluminum coping saw.
The handle can be screwed into either side, allowing you to cut on the push or pull stroke. The tension can also be adjusted from both sides, with 8 positive stops every 45 degrees. This allows you to set the blade to any angle you need for cutting. And if you need to perform free cutting for unique profiles, just loosen the cams all the way.
This saw takes 6.5 inch replacement coping saw blades AND 4.5”-6.5” wire fret saw blades. The included adapters for using wire style blades allows you to get super high tension on even the smallest of blades. Nothing else on the market can be used as a coping OR a hybrid fret saw, making it the most versatile saw available.
The Best Coping Saw on The Market
Ultimate Coping Saw, this is the best and only coping saw you’ll ever need. Because of its multi-part construction, you can get blades tighter than any other coping saw will allow. It’s made from 7075 aluminum—the same stuff they use in aerospace and military applications. It has nearly TWICE the tensile strength of 6061 aluminum, which is used in other high-end coping saws.
Free cut, or use the 8 positive stops to reach any angle cut. I also love that the handle can be used from either side, letting you cut on the push or the pull stroke. With the interchangeable blade holders, it shares some of the fine tooth saw blade capabilities of a fret saw and a scroll saw. It is really the only coping saw on the market that can do everything!

Coping saws are like bottles of whiskey:
The cheap ones will do the job — but they’ll leave you feeling rough around the edges.
Most coping saws (a la Home Depot) don't create enough blade tension…
A problem when cutting tight curves, clearing waste in dovetails, or cutting other joinery.
That’s why I recommend either investing money in a good one — or investing time in building your own.
But as they say, the bad woodworker blames his tools.
