Check these blades out

Sadly I have those blades and I have found that they are no good.
There\'s not enough tensile strength in the blade to apply proper pressure when cutting so they tend to bend and warp in the kerf.
I\'ve kept them for cutting plastic when I want a rough edge, or roughing off items with it\'s sprue connections to make it easier to get access with a fine knife.

Ultimately for cutting apart miniatures nothing beats a good ol fashoned jewlers saw and some good quality blades. remember to use a little bees wax to lubricate the saw blade.

I also owned a tiny saw like that at one point. It rusted to oblivion before I got any use out of it what-so-ever.
It\'s just too small to be of any use. If I need to cut something, a pair of flush cutters, razor, dremel, or standard hobby knife beat all. And, really, if you\'re using them correctly, that should be all you need.
My wife recently posed a question to me that is a really good filter to keep you from buying crap. \"For what, exactly, will you use it?\" If you can\'t answer that question instantly and without reservation, you don\'t need what ever it is. This applies to things apart from the miniature realm as well.

This thread is a great disappointment, what with the Tewkesbury medieval faire only days away :flame:
