I've read quite a few times here, and on a few other sites, that when building the hinges for the Segmentata, you should cut them out of the sheet brass using either a rat-tail saw blade, or a jeweler's saw. Well, I went to the hobby store today, and found that they only had the jeweler's saw, so I bought one, and some extra fine saw blades because I figured they'd be breaking enough, being that they supplied me with 12 off the bat. Well, I got home, loaded it up, and tried to start cutting...and much to my surprise, it could barely even cut paper...? I bought an X-Acto Jeweler's Saw, and it says that it should be "for sawing metal and other hard materials", but it isn't cutting diddly. Anyone out there willing to explain what's up?
