    Steve Bergeron I apologize for not responding to your request but I just read your email on this web site. if you’d like to email me at metrolimo@gmail.com I’d be happy to show you how I made the modifications to enable me to raise and lower the Preac saw blade. it really makes using the Preac much more convenient. if any one else is interested please send me an email.

    Update: Unfortunately Thurston is no longer in business. The company they sold to will only sell a minimum of 25 blades. I guess the only interested in retail sales. I believes there’s a company in the UK that sells slitting blades that are used in the Jim Byrnes saw. The name of the company is Globus.

    Does anyone have a source for Preac saw blades? I used to buy them from Thurston, but they are no longer in business. I contacted the company that bought them but they will only sell a minimum of 25 blades. I guess they’re not interested in selling retail. If anyone knows of a source would you please reply to me by email. My email address is :*****@gmail.com Thank you for any help or info. Regards. Barry Rudd

    I have both saw and I use both. I modified the Preac sso I’m able to raise and lower the blade height by just turning a knob. Much like on the Byrne saw. I keep the Preac on the work bench alongside the model I’m building and use I’d for precision cutting., usually within thousands of an inch. And I am comfortable keeping my fingers closer to the blade than I would with the Byrne saw without fearing an injury. I use the Byrne saw for heavier but still precise cutting. Please note the blade height adjustment I made to the Preac saw improves its versatility 100%

    Looks very similar to the Dremel Stylus, which Dremel has discontinued. And that's too bad because the Dremel was an excellent tool. I have have one that I've used it daily for about six years and have never had any problems with it. And I'n still using it. So if this is another company making basically the sane rotary tool i would recommend it. However if it's just a Chinese ripoff, then all bets are off. It will be interesting to find out. Barry Rudd

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
