A Gadget Too Many, part two of three.

[Dennis]

Ha Lilia, I had not meant to get into that. It sort of sneaked in.

On the plus side they are brilliant at cutting off the ends of wires where you can’t support them for sawing, or the saw won’t reach. They will also cut a row of jump rings and will split tubes lengthways.

On the minus side they require skill and speed control to succeed at all. They are excruciatingly fragile and even putting down your hand piece will shatter one. They break if the material is thicker than about 2.0 mm and they cannot flex if your path is not straight. In fact they behave much like an 8/0 saw blade. Added to this, they are quite expensive at about £50 for a box of a hundred with VAT.

If you are still not put off, they are from Chaperlin and Jacobs dental technician supplies and are called: CJS 134b Dedeco NM Slims. Eye protection is essential.
