resin cutting saw
« on: August 29, 2014, 03:36:33 AM »
Anybody know where I can get a small resin saw to carefully remove parts from the mold? Tired of mucking parts up trying to cut them free. Saw one somewhere but can't recall where. Thanks.    -M

I don't know how I went for so long without one of these myself. The kerf is narrow and it cuts fast. Highly recommended. I got mine from UMM also.

Cheers,

Chris

Don't know what I'd do without mine.

The nano saw from RB productions is one of my secret weapons -- will cut thru brass, super thin kerf (.004" or thereabouts)

More fragile than the resin saws from UMM and CMK though ...
