Working with photo-etched saws ?
(1/1)
Twiddle:
Ultimate noob question ....
Been going through my Tamiya Photo-etched saws at an alarming rate :-X
keep on bending them ... and then chucking them in the bin...
how should these finicky saws be handled ? gentle pressure ?
thanks in advance :smiley:
Jeffry Fontaine:
Is it (the saw blade) the right tool for the task?
What are you cutting that is causing blade failure?
Maybe the choice of tool for the task is incorrect?
Frank3k:
You don't want to put alot of force on them - they're designed to cut just fine with minimal force.
Flory Models has some great videos:

cheers for the videos.
what I'm aiming for is to finely and precisely cut styrene.
have tried other methods with not much success.
