The Draper Fret Saw Frame with a 295 mm throat is a handheld bow-style saw designed for fine, controlled cutting of curves and internal profiles in thin materials. Its principal use is for fretwork, marquetry, model making and delicate metal or plastic cutting where a long reach and high blade tension are required to maintain a true cut. The frame provides a stable platform for standard fret blades and allows close work around tight radii and internal cut-outs. The body is manufactured from hardened spring steel (EN45 / SAE 1075 equivalent) to give the lateral stiffness needed for accurate cuts, while the surface is finished with an epoxy powder coat to resist corrosion and surface wear. Tensioning and clamping components are nickel-plated carbon steel, and the blade clamp uses a metric M6 knurled thumb screw (M6 × 1.0) for tool-free blade changes; the drive is manual and operated by hand. The frame accepts standard pinned and plain-end fret blades up to approximately 150 mm in length and is compatible with commonly used blade sizes and TPI ranges for fret saw applications. Manufactured under a controlled quality system to ISO 9001 standards and supplied by Draper to meet recognised hand tool safety and dimensional conventions (refer to specific blade standards for blade selection), the saw is intended for workshop and professional use. Typical users include cabinet makers, joiners, model makers, jewellers, instrument repairers and maintenance technicians who need precise, repeatable internal and external cuts in wood, laminates, plastics and thin sheet metal. Key benefits include the spring steel frame’s high tension capacity and resistance to flexing, the corrosion protection provided by powder coating and nickel plating, and broad compatibility with off‑the‑shelf fret blades and replacement clamping hardware. Duchy Fasteners stocks the 295 mm throat frame alongside a selection of compatible fret blades and spare clamping screws; our range covers common blade lengths and packs suitable for both single purchases and workshop resupply.
