Jeweler's Saw Blades - What Size?
« on: January 15, 2019, 03:09:53 PM »
I normally buy a pack of 12 from my local model store, but they ran out over the holidays.  I went online and started poking around, only to realize ... I have no idea what size to purchase.  Never really paid that much attention to what I buy - it's the only pack my local stores carry.

Most of my use is with plastic models, working on conversions and the like.  I'm leaning toward #2/0, but not really sure.

Any suggestions?  I'm tempted to just go nuts and buy a sample pack that includes multiples, but hate to have blades that never really get used.

I would also recommend photo etched razor saws.
