What is a punch saw?
| The piercing saw, often referred to as a jeweler's saw, is essentially a smaller version of the coping saw. | ||
| Just like a copier saw, a punch saw has a U-shaped frame and a removable blade. The only difference is that a punch saw is generally smaller than a coping saw, and blades suitable for it are usually thinner and have more teeth per inch. | |
 | As a result, a piercing saw is capable of producing thinner cuts, tighter curves and a neater finish. A punch saw can be used in much the same way as a copier or jigsaw, but great care must be taken not to damage the thin blade. There are blades that can cut wood, plastic and metal. | |
 | Some piercing saws have adjustable frames to accommodate blades of different lengths. | |
Why is it also called a jewelry saw? | ||
 | The punch saw is often used by jewelers for very fine work on metal. | |
