Which Zona saw do I need?
Zona saws differ in two things that matter: how many teeth per inch, and how thick a cut the blade leaves (the kerf). More teeth give a cleaner edge in thin or hard material; fewer teeth cut faster in thick softwood. Filter by what you are cutting and the list narrows to the saws built for it.

Which Zona miter box do I need?
A miter box holds the work and guides the saw so the cut comes out square or at a set angle. The one that suits you depends on the saw you already own: the slot has to match the blade. A slot cut for an ultra thin blade will not take a standard one, and a wide slot lets a thin blade wander.
Zona makes 8 miter boxes and saw-and-box sets.
- 35-241 – Aluminum Miter Box and Fine Kerf Saw
- 35-130 – 4-in-1 Razor Saw with Deluxe Handle. Works with 36-050, 36-555.

Ultra thin kerf Zona saws
An ultra thin kerf removes the least material of any Zona saw. It is the one for fine joints, inlay and anywhere the saw line itself would show.
- 35-050 – Ultra Thin Kerf Razor Saw 52tpi (52 TPI, .008" blade)
- 35-150 – Ultra Thin Kerf Razor Saw 42tpi (42 TPI, .008" blade)
- 35-200 – Ultra Thin Kerf Razor Saw 32tpi (32 TPI, .008" blade)
Fine kerf Zona saws
A fine kerf is the general-purpose choice: thin enough for a clean edge, stiff enough not to wander in harder stock.
- 35-550 – Fine Kerf Razor Saw 42tpi (42 TPI, .010" blade)
- 35-500 – Fine Kerf Razor Saw 32tpi (32 TPI, .010" blade)
- 35-560 – Deluxe Fine Kerf Razor Saw 24TPI (24 TPI, .010" blade)
- 35-241 – Aluminum Miter Box and Fine Kerf Saw (42 TPI)
- 35-450 – Saber Saw Set (24 TPI)
Standard kerf Zona saws
A standard kerf cuts faster and tracks straighter in thicker material, at the cost of a wider saw line.
- 35-300 – Woodcraft Saw 24TPI (24 TPI, .015" blade)
- 35-350 – Woodcraft Saw 14TPI (14 TPI, .020" blade)
- 35-380 – Dovetail Saw 18TPI (18 TPI, .020" blade)
Which Zona saws take replacement blades?
Most Zona razor saws are made as a single unit: the blade is bonded to the steel back and is not meant to be changed. The multi-saw sets are the exception, and those are the ones to buy if you expect to swap blades rather than replace the saw.
10 Zona saws take replacement blades; 12 do not.
- 35-130 – 4-in-1 Razor Saw with Deluxe Handle. Takes 36-050, 36-555.
- 35-140 – 4-in-1 Razor Saw Set. Takes 36-050, 36-555.
- 35-450 – Saber Saw Set. Takes 36-406.
- 36-050 – Replacement Blade 52TPI - 36-050. Takes 35-130, 35-140.
- 36-119 – Replacement Blade 32TPI - 36-119
- 36-555 – Replacement Blade 32TPI - 36-555. Takes 35-130, 35-140.
- 36-129 – Replacement Blade 24TPI - 36-129
- 36-406 – Keyhole Saber Blades - 24TPI Pull. Takes 35-450.
- 36-408 – Keyhole Saber Blades - 24TPI Push
- 36-458 – Replacement Saber Blade 24TPI
Zona saws for wood
For wood, match the teeth to the thickness. Fewer teeth clear the sawdust and cut thick stock faster; more teeth leave a cleaner edge on thin stock and stop the grain tearing.

Zona saws for plastic & styrene
Styrene and acrylic chip or melt if the saw is too coarse or the stroke too fast. A thin kerf and a high tooth count give a clean edge without deforming it.
