It's the drill size you require for a pilot hole to pass the blade through in order to cut out a shape inside another I believe.

they would sell like hot cakes for sure, especially for people like me who, no matter how hard she thinks can never work out what blade she needs

Hannah thinks shes on to something here!

Sorry, I missed this one! Did you ever manage to cut and paste it Linda? If not - all I did was left click about 1cm away from the bottom right corner (if you do it too close you get a 'no go/no entry' type symbol) anyway left click and hold down while you drag up to the left top corner. About half way across the selected area turns blue to select it - so just right click 'copy' and away you go to paste where ever you fancy!!

You probably did this ages ago - but when I saw that you had asked me a direct question I couldn't ignore it - I'm just sorry it's a bit late!!

I just received my 2/0 blades that George suggested for cutting jump rings - I splashed out on an adjustable saw too as my coping saw is way too big.

I'm going to try cutting some jump rings from sterling silver wire at the weekend but I have a couple of noobie questions as I've never used a saw on metal before.

I'm assuming that no lube is needed during sawing - or am I wrong?

Does the coil of wire heat up while being cut?

I would use some lubrication!

I like cut lube (bur life), but you can just use a candle, or beeswax. Apply it to the back of the blade to minimise it clogging up your teeth. If you're cutting really fast, the coil can warm up a little, but not enough to really feel.

If you've got some copper wire knocking around, have a practice on that first - you may find you mangle your first couple of coils getting used to sawing.
