br67 Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Hi, I've seen a few guys using a photo etched saw blade for an xacto knife but don't know where to buy them - any tips ?
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Worth ever penny. Usually available on Ebay, Amazon, and often direct from the manufacturer. http://www.modelcargarage.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=356 Tamiya also offers a set of a different design... https://www.amazon.com/Tamiya-TAM74094-Photo-Etched-Craft-Saw/dp/B003JTGZY4 Edited June 10, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy
crazyjim Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Several places online. If you're planning on using to open doors or trunks, you also need to consider using sewing thread.
waynehulsey Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 Been wanting to try those. Think I actually bought the Tamiya ones at a swap meet but can't find them. Maybe first I should do some desk-workbench cleaning and organizing.
SSNJim Posted June 10, 2017 Posted June 10, 2017 I have a set of photo-etched saw blades, but I don't know what brand - I don't use them much. I picked them up at my LHS when they had them on the pegboard. My go-to saw is an Exacto #1 knife with an Excel #13 saw blade. The blades are pretty easily available.http://shop.excelblades.com/p/13-fine-saw-blade-5-pcs-1I have a Zona-type saw, coping saw, hacksaw, Dremel saws, and others, but the #13 is my favorite. Much stiffer than a photo-etched blade, not much thicker (about #11 blade thickness) and easy to use.
