Good Saw For Cutting Tabs

[myxpykalix]

because i think some of these saws would be too wide to go into a crevice on some carvings that are curved i'd use a rotozip tool and then sand your nub down.

Lots of great choices!
Thanks to all!!

I use a jig saw to cut tabs.

I generally use a jig saw but I put a metals cutting blade in to eliminate tear out.

Off the table, battery powered jig saw and either a flush trim bit or the edge sander. On the table, a veneer saw or oscillating multi-tool followed by the same flush trim bit or edge sander.

We use the Veritas Flush cut trim saw that the guy is holding in his hand in the pic.
Had 3 of them from building the house 20 yrs ago, and started using when we got the Desktops.
I have both of them, but prefer the single edge for tabs.

..... oscillating multi-tool followed by the same flush trim bit or edge sander.

This is what I found works well.

NEVER even knew that Amana Tool MR0102 existed.

Learned about this bit last time this question came up. Bought one, burned bearing in very short order (very delicate bearing -due to small size, seems no option for a more robust bearing)

Went back to rough cut with bosch cordless mini sawzall. Clean up with 1/4" whiteside down spiral double bearing flush trim bit.

I use a cheap Harbor Freight multi tool and a skinny multi tool blade. Works for me. Russ

I use an extremely sharp and small wire cutter then use a variety of sanders (disk, spindle) to clean it up. I find using a saw often leads to tear out.
