Dave Fellingham Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've been using an outstanding micro saw from MicroMark on my Constitution project. I couldn't do the work I've done on it without this little saw. The saw blades look like, and are the size of, double edge razor blades but both edges are very fine saw blades -- 70 teeth per inch and only .005 in./.127 mm kerf. The saw blades sell in packs of five double edge saw blades. Handle for the saw blades. I sanded a flat on one side of the handle so it wouldn't roll off the work bench. The usual disclaimer applies -- I don't have any affiliation with MicroMark other than being a very satisfied customer and user of their products.

exwafoo Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've got some of the saws from here. So far I've been using one small one, its cut brass, soft wood, hard wood and styrene with no obvious blunting. Likewise no association other than satisfied customer. The Blade is thin enough that it works better on the pull stroke. http://www.radubstore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=77_112&zenid=d6ada279408625a3a180d5bdc3649307 Alan Gwyl Blaser, JesseLee and Chasseur 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyl Blaser Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 You are giving away your secrets! :) 70 TPI. and such a thin kerf! That would give a very clean cut. Thanks for the link. Gwyl Chasseur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 I've seen these before. Another static modeler in my local club uses them and really likes what they can do. He's an engineer who like David is very careful about making sure measurements are precise and accurate. His work has been displayed is a few different museums. If this is what helps get such precise and clean work I think I'll have to try it out. Chasseur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially like the versions that mount in a standard blade holder for making small detail cuts. Bookmarked and a wish list started.

exwafoo Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 I started to use this supplier when I wanted a photo etch bending tool. The one he supplies is excelent and about 75% cheaper than others on the market. I've also got some of the glue carriers these work well too. The little bow saw is magic.
