I advise against using a dremel & a cutting wheel mainly because of the dust/sparks a thin milling saw, run along the side of the coil will do about the same as a jewlers saw, but you'll need a machine, and cooling fluid to work it.Īctually.you can clip 14.5 awg mild steel quite well with 8 in bolties *and* rather quickly. Also hardened metals (stainless) won't cut. a jewlers saw (like a coping saw, but a super thin blade, Most hobby stores carry them.) will do wonders! But, we're back to the time point. (in other words, if it has a "<" at the point, not a ")" ) Saw cutting is another alternative if perfectly flat ends are a must. (not quite as big as the big lock cutting size), but you also need to get a pair where the tips of the cutter do not indent in. The hand size (8") cutters are good for soft metals (copper, aluminum) but the harder steel requires something like the 14" cutters. It'll help line up for the next set of rings to cut.). It does give a ">|" style cut, but on the long run, it's quicker than single diagonals, You're able to grab more than 1 ring at a time (without stretching the coil, leave the coil tight. I've been making costume chainmaille (mostly for hobby, none for sale) for nearly 29 years, and I've used bolt cutters for all kinds of metals, from galvnized steel, stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. Thanks very much, and thanks also for letting me know I can make my own jumprings! I have some fuchsia wire I’m now salivating to turn into jumprings, and plan to get started as soon as I post this! I appreciate the cool idea (and use for my pink wire). If there’s a useful site you’re trying to point us to, wouldja tell me the name so I can Google it and get to it that way, please? I’m always looking for more patterns, ideas, instructions, resources, and anything else jewelry-related that I can get my hands on. I haven’t actually landed on anything after clicking those links I have a blank page after returning from the Apple apps. I then noticed the space in the URL so I removed it and tried that, but more nonsense ensued. It also provides a fake “captcha” image that when I click it tells me I failed, and then claims to have locked me out of the site, whatever that is. What is “ DIY ,” and how do I get to it? The URL *sounds* as if it’d be mega-useful, but clicking it takes me through lots of redirects and then loads variously the App Store, iTunes, and Apple Music.
