User questions & answers

Question:	What saw blade comes with this coping saw? course or fine
Answer:	Amazon specify that the blade that comes with the saw has 17pts. That would make it the coarse blade as fine blades have 21pts blades
Question:	Can blade be locked to 90° position
Answer:	The blade can be tightened in any position but I don’t think that is has any notched positions available that it can be locked in.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Like Kobalt, True Tempure, Craftsman , Irwin has gone with these companies to provide above standard low cost premium tools, made in China. Now let's look at the other end of the spectrum, Fruend, German tool manufacturer sells their stainless steel coping saw for about 89.00 with one blade. Irwin sells for under 20.00 with an additional pack of blades[ 3] for about 7.00.
Question:	Does the handle unscrew to loosen the tension on the blade
Answer:	Yes it does, holding the holder for blade and turning handle will loosen blade. I always keep the blade tight, unless I am replacing blade.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this be good for cutting through professional clay sculptures with armature wire inside? (about action figure scale 5-6 inches tall
Answer:	Efficacy will depend on the hardness of the clay, the gauge of the internal wire armature, and blade selection, but with the proper blade this is a very good coping saw. The wire armature might be real problem though, if it is any thicker than say window screen mesh. Thinner-gauge (more TPI / Teeth Per Inch) blades, such as 32 TPI, will be better for metal cutting, and give cleaner cuts through the clay. But: more fragile and breakable than thicker blades.
Question:	What are the measurements of the frame
Answer:	The inside dims are 6.5" X 4.112" or 6 1/2" X 4 1/8" . the frame is asymmetrical so the dims vary slightly.
Question:	What is country of origin
Answer:	Nearly positive it is US. I have four of these saws, as I have rwo shops. Saw is inexpensive enough to set one with the blade turned to the right and the other to the left-as I use the saws for wasting out dovetails, makes the task quicker. Get Pegasus blades and tension correctly, you'll have a saw as good as the hundred dollar spread.
Question:	Does this saw come with a starter blade or do I need to buy one (or a pack) separately
Answer:	Comes with a blade. Olson makes excellent blades and you may want a variety pack of their blades.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the length of these blades
Answer:	Randall this confusing. The package says blades it fits standard 6 1/2" coping saws, but between pins it measures 6 3/8". My Olson saw has a lot of adjustment. Good Luck
Question:	Has anyone tried sharpening these with regular saw files
Answer:	Let's see. One must build a saw chock (to hold the blade in a vise). Then, assuming an 18-ppi blade, you have to sharpen 6 x 18 = 108 teeth with a small file. You could, using a double extra-slim taper 4" file, attempt to sharpen these, I suppose. It would take you maybe a half-hour if you know what you're doing and if you can find all your equipment right away. But I'll spend the $6 and get four more blades rather than go to all that work to save a buck and a half. Interesting question, though.
