Popular Post Tom King Posted September 22, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 The just came today from ebay. I knew I had seen a jewelers saw decades ago that allowed to to change the blade orientation, but didn't buy it then and haven't seen one since. This looks like no one ever used it, and is still in the box it came in from a model train supplier. I'll be putting the Knew Concepts up for sale here for people that like them, and if no one here wants it, it will go in classified on another site. I know a lot of people like the KC saws, but I have never been enthused about using it. I only bought it since you can change the blade direction. I'm about as excited about finding and getting this as any tool I can remember. Even the wing nuts on it are very well made. It will stay in this box in the Cope toolbox. It's a Trojan-USA, It had some super fine blades in the box that are finer than any I've ever used. I normally use no.6's for things like the little cove at the bottom of crown molding, Pine bed moldings, and mostly for cutting the copes on muntins when I make a single replacement window sash. I put one of these blades in it and made some cuts in Oak, Maple, and Heart Pine. I'll be using these. The cuts were tiny but very controllable and perfectly clean, as well as cutting much faster than I expected. Sock feet because I had been working in the lake wearing waders (not with the jewelers saw). Warrior Alpaca-new favorites. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted September 23, 2023 Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 Nice score. I'm guessing that the difference between a jeweler's saw and a coping saw is the depth of the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2023 The difference is the size of the blades they hold, and the way they hold them. Jewelers saw blades make much smaller cuts and tighter turns than a coping saw. Coping saw blades have pins on the ends that hold tension on the blade. No ends on jewelers saw blades and it depends on clamps to hold the blade ends. Jewelers saws actually come in many more depth choices than coping saws. Very few allow for anything but a cut in line with the frame. This one allows setting the blade at any angle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
