So I am looking for something I can manually cut a slot for a guard. I have been told that a Jeweler's Saw will work. Having never used one I am going off of my experience with using a coping saw.
So here is what I am looking at a 5" frame but not sure where to go with that!
Has anyone got any suggestions on which of these frames is best and why?? http://www.knewconcepts.com/5-inch.php
Also I need some blades but again without any experience with a jewelers saw I don't have a clue as to which one(s) would be best!
The Herkules 10/0 seem to be the only ones designed for metal cutting but in the description as follows,
The finest, most delicate saw blades made. Most jeweler’s supply houses don’t stock blades smaller than 8/0, because traditional jeweler’s saws have trouble properly tensioning such delicate blades. Knew Concepts saws have the most controllable tensioning mechanisms on any jeweler’s saw made. Since our saws are the first to really be able to take advantage of the 10/0 blades, it seemed like a natural fit to start carrying them. For a sense of scale, they’re roughly twice as thick as a human hair. With teeth.
[FONT=verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]They sound like they would make a very fine cut but also sound like they would be extremely easy to break!!
