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.
