Could not tension it hard enough to not slip while cutting wax, my 50+ year old jewelers saw is more effective.

I got this saw for cutting sheet silver. Once you get it set up it does work...for a while. The thumbscrews have a bad habit of walking out while cutting, so the saw blades will either pop out, or if the length adjusting screw gets loose, you will suddenly loose blade tension and it will snag or break.The rectangle block clamps that hold the blade ends are too small, so they spin in the frame when you tighten them. This means you need to hold the clamp with one hand and tighten with the other. This makes it more difficult to get the correct tension since you don't have a free hand to flex the frame when installing the blade.Overall, it is finicky to set up, and it doesn't hold its settings so you will be setting it up often. I wish I spent more on a better saw.

This was exactly what I was searching for. The item came in a nice package along with saw blades. To my surprise, these blades are wayyyyyy smaller than I thought they would be. This made it extremely easy to cut through small items like rings for sizing, etc.The pack of blades that came with this surprised me even more when finding out not only had there been a few packed together but there have to be almost 20 blades for each little set of them! Which made for a very very large amount of blades one could use that I was not suspecting. The picture does not reflect this! There were way more blades then what the picture reflects.It is a bit tricky to see how to clamp the blades in but once you figure it out it is easygoing from there. There is also the additional clamp along the mainframe that allows for other adjustments. Other ones I saw did not have this.

When I first opened the package and looked at the blades I was very skeptical whether the saw could cut any metal. With the small blades I had to really look closely to make sure they were in the correct position. I purchased this saw to make small and intricate cuts in stainless steel flatware and cutlery in order to make pendants and bracelets. I have found the saw works well in cutting stainless steel if one is patient and does not apply much down force while cutting. This cannot be treated like a hacksaw as the blades are much to delicate. I found that during several longer cuts that I had to readjust the saw to ensure I had enough tension in the blade as it would start to deflect. I imagine it would work very well with softer metals such as gold or silver. Overall I am very pleased with this product.
