saw blades

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.

Thanks George - I have got some copper wire I was practicing weaves with so I'll try on that first. And I actually have some candles at the moment to!! So I think I'm set for my first try.
