Piercing Saw - German Style 3" Adjustable Sawframe - Jewellers Tools
The German Style Sawframe offers terrific value, whilst maintaining high quality standards. Made of high carbon steel, all features are precisely the same as the German Deluxe models (not currently stocked). Each frame also features hardwood handles, serrated lugs to tightly hold blades, large thumbscrews and excellent alignment for straight and accurate cutting.
Traditionally used by jewellers, it is used for metalwork that requires fine detail. Piercing saws are mainly used for metal but can also cut through wood and plastic.
A small hole is first drilled through the metal. Then one end of the saw blade is fitted into the saw frame and the other is threaded through the hole. The blade is then clamped into the remaining end of the saw frame.
