Bought one a few months ago and after countless practise about to give up

Hi Michael

From what I know about this particular saw I would advise using thicker blades, which have less tendency to wander, it is possible to buy an adaptor which will allow you to use something like the Hobbies niqua fretsaw blades http://www.alwayshobbies.com/brands/niqua

Sorry Michael the place that I bought from as closed down but I would expect that Hobbies could point you in the right direction.

There might be some thicker 'pin' connection blades (such as Proxxon) that might fit without an adaptor.

I might go for proxon with 36tpi does that sound ok

Hi I do not know the saw you have ,mine is a Proxxon and when it arrived it cut off the centre line .

A quick check showed it was cutting about 5 degrees of centre and the answer was simple .

The top blade holder has a nut on top which was slackened off and the holder turned a few degrees until it cut true .

On your model there will be a adjustment of some sort ,there have to be one .

Hope that helps but remember ,less haste more speed and better cutting .Michael
