Saw Frame with 36 Blades

The BeadSmith Adjustable Saw Frame with Blades – For Jewellery Makers & Metalworkers

The BeadSmith Saw Frame is a must-have tool for jewellery makers, metalsmiths, and creative DIYers. Designed in the classic German style, this sturdy, adjustable frame is built for precision and comfort. The metal frame measures 6.5″ when fully extended, with a 5.25″ blade opening. It’s fitted with a smooth 4.5″ wooden handle that feels secure and comfortable in the hand, perfect for hours at the bench.

Included are 36 flexible saw blades – 12 each of sizes #1/0, #2/0, and #3/0 – ideal for a variety of fine metalworking tasks. Each blade has a smooth side and a sharp, serrated cutting edge, so handle with care.

How to Use & Replace Blades:
To insert a blade, simply unscrew the frame to adjust its length based on your blade size. Rest the small notch (opposite the handle) on your workbench for stability. Loosen the blade clamps, place the blade with the teeth facing out (away from the saw), and tighten the far clamp. Push the frame gently against the bench to create tension, then secure the near-side clamp. Always wear safety goggles when changing blades or working on your project.

Tip: Blades breaking is normal – don’t be discouraged! The beauty of an adjustable saw frame is you can reuse a broken blade by shortening the frame to fit.

This tool is fantastic for cutting intricate shapes from sheet metal, sawing ring settings, repairing broken jewellery, or making your own custom designs from scratch. Whether you’re just starting out or working daily in your studio, the Beadsmith Saw Frame from the Basic Elements range is a reliable essential to keep on hand whenever inspiration strikes.
