Dr PR Posted October 9 #1 Posted October 9 (edited) Can anyone recommend a small, hand held reciprocating (back and forth) narrow kerf saw? I need to cut some pieces from 1/8 inch (3 mm) plywood and don't relish doing this with a coping saw or jeweler's saw. I do not have a band saw (or a place to put one) nor do I have a laser cutter.

mtaylor Posted October 14 #2 Posted October 14 You might check Micro-Mark. It's been a long time since i've visited their site but they did have some. Two types as I recall... one a single-blade and another that used two blades.

Dr PR Posted October 14 Author #3 Posted October 14 (edited) Mark, Thanks. Dremel makes a small hand-held version that gets pretty good reviews. I'll check Micro-Mark. But that is dangerous - I might find other things I am tempted to buy! I just checked. Micro-Mark has several options - all out of stock!

mtaylor Posted October 14 #4 Posted October 14 That's a bit of bummer, Phil. I'm assuming supply side issues which seem to hitting at this point. So at least you didn't dive too deep into their site. Better for the budget. I didn't know Dremel made one.... that's good to know Canute 1 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
