The half-round end follows curves, works the inside of ring shanks, and gets into concave areas that a flat file can't reach. Both ends have dual-cut teeth designed specifically for wax work, with a coarse side for removing material quickly and a medium side for refining. The file tapers to a point, which helps with detail areas and tighter spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWax files are not the same as metal files.

It's a classic design that's barely changed in generations, and there's a good reason for that: it's the most popular saw frame size in the world, striking a balance between control and reach for detailed piercing work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNot every saw frame sold as German on the Australian market is actually made there. A number of cheaper lookalikes are manufactured in India and only assembled or finished in Germany, which lets them carry the label without the frame being forged there. This one is forged and assembled in Germany, and it's part of why it holds tension without flexing or twisting under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're building a tool kit and can only buy one saw frame, make it the 100mm (4 inches). That measurement is the throat depth, the distance from the blade to the back of the frame, and a deeper throat means you can saw further into a sheet of metal before the edge hits the back of the frame. It's versatile enough for cutting sterling silver sheet, wire, and findings, and it also handles wax when paired with the right blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame itself is forged steel with a hardwood handle, so it sits comfortably in the hand through long sawing sessions. A thumb screw locking device tensions the blade via serrated lugs that hold it firmly in place. Because the frame is adjustable, you can draw the blade drum tight for a cleaner cut, and it also means you can get extra life out of blades that have snapped, by adjusting the frame to take a shorter length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePair it with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/podjewellery.com.au\/products\/saw-blades-2-0-pack-of-12\" title=\"Saw Blades 2.0 Pack of 12 | Jewellery Metal Cutting Blades\"\u003esaw blades\u003c\/a\u003e for cutting sheet metal and wire, or swap in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/podjewellery.com.au\/products\/spiral-saw-blades-12-pack\" title=\"Spiral Saw Blades 12 Pack | Wax Piercing Blades\"\u003espiral blades\u003c\/a\u003e when you're piercing wax models, since spiral blades cut in every direction and don't need to stay lined up with the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth knowing:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso called a piercing saw, since the fine, controlled cuts it makes in metal or wax are known as piercing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pod Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15422930092066,"sku":"114.100","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/8299\/files\/German-Saw-Frame-black_pod-jewellery.jpg?v=1749809475"},{"product_id":"alcohol-lamp","title":"Alcohol Spirit Lamp","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlcohol Spirit Lamp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn alcohol lamp (also called a spirit lamp) has two main uses in the jewellery studio. The first is heating wax carving tools: rather than an electric pen station, you can heat tools like spatulas and wax shapers directly in the flame for blending, smoothing, and building up wax. The second is flame polishing, where you briefly pass a wax piece through the flame to smooth out surface texture and tool marks before casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is well thought through for bench use. The heavy glass reservoir has faceted sides, which means you can tip it on an angle to direct the flame more precisely without it rolling around. The screw adjuster on the side controls the height of the flame, so you can dial in exactly as much heat as you need. The safety cap snuffs the flame cleanly when you're done and helps stop the fuel from evaporating between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reservoir holds 150ml of fuel, which gives you a good amount of working time before refilling.

We use this in the studio every time we solder. Once a piece has been in the pickle, there's often a white silver surface, residual oxidation, or sometimes a copper flush left on the metal. A quick scrub with the brass brush and some dishwashing detergent removes all of that and leaves an even, smooth surface ready for the next stage of finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrass is the right bristle material for this job because it's soft enough not to scratch your silver or gold, but firm enough to clean effectively. A steel wire brush would be too aggressive and would scratch the surface.
