FAQs
What type of blades does this frame use?
This frame is compatible with standard piercing saw blades. You will need to purchase blades separately, choosing the appropriate size and TPI (Teeth Per Inch) for your material and cutting task.
What is the maximum cutting depth?
The frame offers a maximum cutting depth (clearance) of 65mm.
Can I use this for metal and wood?
Yes, this frame is suitable for cutting various metals commonly used in jewelry making, as well as thin wood for craft applications. Blade selection is key for optimal results in each material.
Does the frame come with any blades?
No, the piercing saw frame is sold without blades. Blades must be purchased separately.
How do I change the blade?
To change the blade, loosen the thumb screws on both ends of the frame, remove the old blade, insert the new blade ensuring correct orientation, and then retighten the thumb screws to achieve proper tension.
Is the wooden handle sealed?
The description indicates a wood handle for grip, but does not specify if it is sealed. It is recommended to protect it from excessive moisture.
Troubleshooting
Blade keeps breaking or is not cutting effectively
Ensure the blade is properly tensioned (taut but not overstretched). Check if the correct blade type is being used for the material. Make sure the teeth are facing the correct direction (towards you when pushing forward).
Difficulty adjusting blade angle
Loosen the thumb screws slightly to allow for blade repositioning. Ensure the blade is not bent or damaged, which could impede adjustment.
Handle feels loose or uncomfortable
Ensure the handle is securely attached to the frame. If the wood feels rough, it can be lightly sanded and treated with a wood polish for a smoother feel.
