Product Information

Full details

This guide is for anyone using the Faithfull FAIPRS Piercing Saw, often called a jeweler's saw, to cut thin sheet metal. The key benefit is its ability to make precise cuts in delicate materials like aluminum, copper, and brass. A potential drawback is that it's designed for thin materials, up to 1mm, so it isn't suitable for thicker stock. This saw is a smaller version of a coping saw, featuring an extremely fine blade and an adjustable steel frame.
