Faithfull FAIPRS Piercing Saw (Jeweller's Saw)

Product Information

The fine blade is held in position by fastenings, at each end of the frame, tightened by wing nuts. With some piercing saws, it is possible to adjust the length of the frame, by loosening an adjusting nut, sliding the handle along the frame, followed by tightening the adjusting nut.

The jewellers saw is a must-have in the workshop, allowing you to easily cut metal wire and sheet, such as cutting D-shaped wire for making a ring band/bangle or cutting intricate shapes out of metal sheet. Cooksongold’s adjustable jeweller’s saw frames offer you the ability to successfully saw through metal, leaving a clean, smooth and professional finish. The jeweller’s saws are made for a wide variety of metals, meaning they’re perfect for use as a silversmith saw or on other precious metal bullion. Our wide selection of jeweller’s saw frames vary in size from 3” to 6” to give you more flexibility and movement capabilities with your jewellery making designs.

How To Cut Double Layers Of Metal Easily

The drill is getting too hot: If the drill overheats you can cool it down using a small amount of water or an oil based drilling coolant. Failing that, simply stop and allow the tools to cool down. The brown colourisation of the blade is due to its copper plate which inhibits rust and also acts as a minor lubricant when cutting hard steel. Scriber:A scriber is a fine marking tool with a long and narrow tip. It is used to scribe designs onto metal and can be used to mark the positions for drilling. Are you looking for new saws for jewellery making? Whether you need a jewellers’ piercing saw to take your jewellery making to the next level, or you’ve identified a jeweller’s saw as a way to improve your current projects, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for in the range at Cooksongold.

This saw frame can’t replace experience or skill in piercing and sawing, but they often make blade placement and tension easier and are nice and light to use. 5. Green Lion Saw Rotary Hand Drill:Rotary hand drills have the motor contained within the hand piece and either run off of the power supply or can be charged up to use cordless. They have the same multi-purpose functionality of a pendant drill and can be used with a wide range of accessories. Rotary hand drills can be used in conjunction with a drill stand to ensure vertical drilling.Now, undo your saw blade at the clamp nearest the handle and thread the blade through the hole from the top. Once through, re-clamp your blade making sure the tension is correct. Like a coping saw, a piercing saw holds the blade in tension in a metal frame. As the fine blades frequently break, the frame is adjustable for blade length to allow the re-use of broken pieces. The frame throat size can range from 50 to 200mm (2.0 to 7.9in). [1] [3] Another decision you need to make when purchasing your frame is whether you want an adjustable or a fixed design. An adjustable frame allows you to alter the size to accommodate broken blades where as a fixed design will only take standard size blades as they are sold.

Piercing saws have a frame with pinch clamps that will grip the blades; handles are usually wooden like the examples from our range below.

The Importance Of Lubricating Your Saw Blades

For many generations, the classic jewelers’ saw hasn’t changed. A simple steel frame with a wooden handle. But new advances in modern metals and engineering processes have now brought the jewelers’ saw into the 21 st century. Pepetools in collaboration with Lion Punch Forge have recently launched the “Haymaker” jewelers’ saw. This features many refinements on the classic design and uses the latest materials to enhance this classic tool. The Haymaker frame is made from a special Aluminum alloy. This gives strength to the frame and provides tension to the blade. However, this space-age material is lightweight, resulting in a featherweight saw. This in turn makes for easier use and a much more intimate feel. You are much more in touch with the saw and how it is cutting. The handle is also made from Aluminum, precision machined for a smooth comfortable grip at any angle. The saw also features easy to use levers for clamping the saw blade. Finally, the whole saw comes finished in a beautiful anodized finish in a range of colors. Not only does this look cool, but it also provides a resilient protective finish to the saw. Traditionally saw handles were made of wood but newer models come with rubber handles. If you are going to do a lot of sawing you may want to look at a rubber handle saw as it will be a little bit more comfortable to use. However if you only saw intermittently then you can get away with a wooden handle. 3. What the saw handle is made of Very Important tip: “Let the saw do the work”. You cannot force it, or the blades will simply snap. When using a piercing saw, sit at a comfortable height to a workbench. The sheet metal being cut, is placed on a jeweller’s bench pin (sometimes called a V-board or bird’s mouth board). The metal is held down firmly, whilst the saw is held almost vertically and sawing begins. Sawing should be even and constant, using the full length of the blade. Wiping the blade with bees wax, helps produce a smooth sawing action. If cutting round a corner or producing a curve, simply turn the work carefully, using the non-sawing hand, at the same time as sawing. But regardless of which saw you choose, do remember that it is just a tool. No matter how sophisticated that tool is, if you don’t have a solid sawing technique then you will struggle to get the most out of it. So we recommend starting with a basic saw to learn and practice with and upgrade further down the line once you get a feel for the kind of saw that will serve you best.
