Thumbs up just for that tip about putting the sawblade in under pressure. I've gotten good at putting them in and then tightening, but that was an 'AHA!' moment once I realized what you were doing.
thank you, a great tutorial.. what is the typical lifespan for such saw? could it cut sayh 5m before it gets blunt? that being said, any saw recommendations?
beaducation.com/collections/files-reamers-brushes-drills This link has the jewelry saw we use along with packets of saw blades to choose from. If you click on the saw blade you will see the size chart and what blades work best with what gauge you are using.
Msfdirect Yes of course this set up will work, it's just another metal. You'll dull blades much faster than typical jewellery materials. Use the highest blade tension you can achieve and apply lubricants frequently to prolong the life. Stainless steel (if you ever use it) is the PITA devil child and will be difficult to cut no matter what you do. Use the best quality blade if cutting stainless, or one specifically designed for hard metals. Most other common grades of steel are not overly difficult.

Hi we mainly work with soft metals such as copper, sterling, gold filled. We are not familiar with working with steel wire.
Very helpful vid.
Can I use this equipment and technique on 20 gauge steel?
Hi Msfdirect, We are not familiar with cutting steel. We hope you can find your answer!
