Hello first post here and so happy to have found this forum.

I’m a very new beginner and yet to take any classes, but I’ve been practicing some basic sawing with silver, brass and copper. I’m finding that my saw blades are wearing out really fast and I’m not sure if this is normal or my technique is all wrong!

I just used a new 2/0 Vallorbe blade on some 0.7mm brass and it became totally blunt after about 4cm of sawing round a semi circle. Is this normal?

Thanks so much in advance!
