Razor Saw...
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, March 2, 2004 10:24 AM
Hi, i heard that this type of tool is the best way to get resin parts of their casting blocks, which are sometimes really thick. Does anyone have an idea where i could get this for uber cheap? or if there is a better subsitute that makes geting the resin parts of their blocks easier?

Try www.micromark.com They have a pretty good selection of razor saws.

One other thing you can do is score the parts with a #11 blade and then snap them from the casting block.

Picked mine up from the local craft shop-- they usually have a small section of the X-Acto stuff.....

I was just using mine over the weekend, taking a resin seat off of the block, and it worked like a charm!! I used an Exacto one, but rather than buy it at the LHS or MicroMark ('cause they're a bit more pricier), I bought it at the local craft store (Michael's) for around $6.00. It came with 2 blades, and a handle. I've tried the #11 blade trick also, it works ok, but if you don't score deep enough, you'll snap the part (I learned the hard way).

A good razor saw is well worth the price you might pay for it. Very valuable tool to
have around. I agree with Kik36; probably cheaper at a craft store than the LHS.

If you are willing to spend a little more but want a stronger saw, see if you can find a Zona saw. Saw blades are the same size and tooth count as an exacto but takes a whole bunch more to bend one. (if you've ever had an Exacto catch when sawing on a piece of metal tubing, you'll know what I mean)
