If you are looking for metal cutting blades (which are often referred to as jewelry blades) here is a link to SS. Most any hobby shop, big box hardware store, Amazon, etc. has them. You just need to determine the thickness you plan to cut, width of acceptable cut (some people get upset when destroying - cutting - precious metal :eek: . Maybe the same thing as taking a thick kerf in precious wood?? :p ). It's always a good idea to provide some sort of lubrication for these blades when cutting metal or rock (such as agates).

I've gotten blades at hobby stores. If I recall they come in packs of a dozen and are for hand jeweler saws.

I have not tried to purchase any in the last while so I don't know the current locations that might have them. I had tried to use them in my old shopsmith jig saw with so so results if that is any help.

Hi,

Just for reference this is what my saw looks like. The blade looks pretty much like a pencil line....... do not recall the # but it is not the smallest one.

I keep the blades in the box with the saw but they were loose (wire wrapped) but no indication of where I got them. The saw is a Strombecker.

Oops, I thought you were asking about Jewel Blades not blades for your jewelers saw.

Would these work for you.
