    I know it sounds funny but I have Two. My Smiths Little Torch, just got it and WOW. The other is a fine half round needle file had it forever and it now polishs rather than cuts and for that reason it is used every day to pre polish silver.

    So now I want a Knew concept saw frame and a Smiths torch….
    I do love my Foredom, definitely a great investment after starting with a Dremel.
    Also wouldn't be without my magnifying lamp, I do have a microscope too but mostly work under the lamp and just check under the microscope as its easier.

    I have one of the original Knew Concept still about, as I moved on to the lever version. Worth going for the lever if you have the funds.

    The lever kit can be retrofitted to the 1st generation saws; I did some R&D with Lee on that.

    I've done 2 of mine - there's some minor surgery needs to be done on the sawframe *and it comes with the upgraded knobs, despite the photo* (hence I have a spare set...). http://www.knewconcepts.com/upgradekit.php

    I may have to get the lever, seems a shame to leave the frame alone in the attic of despair!

    Can you remember if that would fit mine Peter? And is the surgery difficult? :/

    I think so - if you have a look at the instructions, there's some good pics of the older saws: http://www.knewconcepts.com/download...ons-Web1.3.pdf
    The surgery requires a minute or two with another saw to cut away some of the aluminium, nothing more.
