This is my first jewelers saw. I used it to cut brass plate letters and it worked very well. A little patience is needed while getting used to allowing the saw to do the cutting without forcing it. But that's more on me not the saw. I'm very happy that I added this saw to my tool bag. Very well made.
Fairly good quality, good tolerances and plenty of blades of varying sizes to make it usable right off!

Great tool. I needed to cut through 16 gauge galvanized steel and this little fella did it without a hiccup. To saw the steel sheet I used the #2 blade. It comes with a lot of blades. Beware though, if you're not familiar with saws like this, you might snap a couple of blades in the beginning, but, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straight forward. The cutting is really precise and straight, at least mine were. It's hard to mess up cutting with this.
The frame is pretty solid as well and installing the blades is pretty easy. Check some videos online to learn how to use these saws.
This is definitely one of those tools that you should have in the tool box as it is really helpful.
High presision tool. Used it to cut a rosewood guitar head stock, about 1.5-2 mm / 1/6”) and it came out amazing. The blades are fine and are not made to last forever, but they handle the hard wood (only broke 2) and it was my mistake.
Saw arrived in two days. Unfortunately, the blade grips could not hold the hardened wire diamond blades we required securely enough. Unable to return, (not sure whose policy that is) Amazon gave full refund and suggested saw be donated. The craft group I gave it to has reported the saw works very well with the metal and wood blades they use. They are very happy with the gift.

Description
Five Star Savings Delivers this Better Quality Adjustable, Jeweler's Saw Frame with 144 Blades for for less. This is a Professional Quality tool that will Cut, and last through thick and thin, includes sizes 8/0, 6/0, 5/0 ,4/0, 2/0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
I ordered this primarily for a wide assortment of saw blades and the fast shipping. I expected the blades to be so-so and the frame possibly mediocre. I was pleasantly surprised. Not only is the frame solid and usable, but has a nice fit and finish. I tried a couple blades on annealed 2mm round O1 tool steel, and they cut through without problem or breaking, even the #6/0. I already had a heavier frame, but this one is a little lighter and easier to adjust and will probably be the first one I reach for now.
If you've not set up and used one of these before, I'd recommend watching a video. If you approach it like using a hacksaw, you're likely to be disappointed.
Was surprised with how inclusive this pack was. Came with a fold out of multiple blades ranging in sizes. I use this item mostly for model miniatures so I'm cutting soft white metal, plastic, and resin.
Having Just Moved, Some of my tools are still in Storage. I bought this "with" saw blades so I could Work Now, and not go look through Ten Boxes marked "TOOLS" !!!
Wonderfully, It is a very High-Quality Product!
The saw worked fairly well, but the screw holding the arm of the blade in place came loose and the blade broke. I'm not sure if that is typical, so now I'm checking it before I start each section. Otherwise it shipped with quite a few blades and was easy to use.
Need to know how to use it. Takes some time to replace a sawing wire. Breaks every once in a while but there about 100 wires ready for use, in a variety of widths, stored in preservative oil.
