How It Works
Jeweler's saw frames use thin, fine-toothed saw blades that are held under tension between the two ends of the frame. The blade is installed with the teeth facing in the appropriate cutting direction and tightened using the frame's adjustment hardware.
Once properly tensioned, the frame gives you precise control over the blade, allowing you to follow curves, corners, openings, and intricate patterns that would be difficult to produce with larger power tools.
For lapidary artists, a jeweler's saw is particularly useful after cutting and polishing a stone when you're fabricating a bezel, pendant, backing, or other metal component around the finished stone.

What You Need to Get Started
The saw frame is designed to be used with jeweler's saw blades, which are sold separately. Select a blade appropriate for the material and thickness you're cutting. For intricate jewelry work, finer blades allow for tighter curves and more detailed cuts, while coarser blades can remove material more quickly.
Saw blades are consumable items, so keeping several sizes on hand is recommended if you regularly work with different metals and thicknesses.
A Great Addition to a Lapidary Jewelry Bench
If you cut your own cabochons and want to take the next step into jewelry fabrication, a jeweler's saw is one of the fundamental hand tools to have at the bench. The Covington Jeweler's Saw Frame gives you a simple, durable way to cut and shape metal components without requiring a powered saw.
