      Will this saw cut the bottom of door frames
      ByMar 23, 2025
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      The DWHT20541 is a model number for a hand saw, specifically a jab saw or drywall saw, typically used for cutting drywall, plasterboard, and similar materials. While it is designed for making precise cuts in drywall, it may not be the best tool for cutting the bottom of a door frame, especially if the frame is made of wood or metal. For cutting the bottom of a door frame, especially if you need to trim it to fit flooring or for other adjustments, a more suitable tool would be a hand saw designed for wood, a multi-tool with a wood-cutting blade, or a circular saw if you need a straight and even cut. These tools are better suited for cutting through the thicker and denser material of a door frame. Always ensure you have the right blade for the material you are cutting and take appropriate safety precautions.

        Can you use the 5" Dewalt pull saw for coping
        ByNov 20, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The DEWALT DWHT20541 is a 5-inch Flush Cut Pull Saw, not a coping saw. It features a double-sided blade for making inside cuts and flush cuts, but it's not designed for the intricate, detailed work typically done with a coping saw1.

              How thick is the blade? (I want to cut along tile grout lines after removing the grout.)

              Answer This Question

              What you're thinking about doing will quickly ruin this saw, which is intended for precise trim cuts on clean wood. Use a jig saw. Start with a plunge cut and go from there.

                        Using tool to fix some carpenter bee holes on porch. Needed to cut wood dial rods at an angle. Went to Home Depot and saw this tool. I needed tool to cut close and clean. Was happy that the blade was rigid yet pliable. Cut was easy to start and the flex in the blade hugged the ceiling just like I wanted. Very happy with the performance of this tool. 5 stars, price was very affordable

                        Broken Teeth
                        After cutting just two pocket-hole plugs a section of the teeth broke off completely and further use caused many more teeth to bend. Not quality built tool that I'd expect from Dewalt

                          BIG design flaw with this saw!!!
                          I nave two other older flush cut saws in my tool box- both are dull and needed replacing- I found this dewalt flush cut at home depot- it was the ONLY brand this store carried. the biggest issue I have with this saw is with the teeth that don't extend to the very end of the saw- for some silly reason, dewalt decided to stop the teeth about 1/8" from the end- and instead, made a smooth edge- this prevents you from being able to cut out a section of casing or trim without passing the saw completely through- this is an obstacle for example when trying to cut casing in one room, where the floor in the next room is above the height of the new floor, and the saw hits the taller floor on the other side- now you have to chisel out the remaining piece because the teeth didn't go to the end of the saw!

                          Flush Cut Pull Saw
                          DIY project......cutting down a butcher block counter top to screw from inside the drawers of an old dresser which I'm converting into a kitchen island! (my older counter tops are butcher block formica) I'd tried a hand saw and a hacksaw, but too rough and too thick. This cut pull saw worked perfectly. Couldn't get over the thinness of it and its flexibility! Appreciated the two-sidedness of the saw as well. The salesperson at Wentzville Home Depot knew his saws and suggested this one. It gave me a smooth end with no rough edges on the upper and lower edges (I also taped both sides of my cutting seam) and so far I haven't had to do anymore to the counter top except screw it securely to the dresser top. Soooo nice in my kitchen that had very little working space before I did this DIY project. I'd already painted the dresser and put some fat "feet" on it, lined the drawers and put new knobs on the drawers.
