Dear Rosanne,

    I do have a couple of suggestions for you. Use masking tape on the
    bottom side of the coil before you cut the coil, this will help hold
    the coil together. If the coil is for large diameter jump rings
    insert a wooden dowel into the coil before cutting, this will support
    the jump rings. Make sure that you lubricate the blade of the saw
    blade before cutting. If you are not cutting all the way through the
    wire then you are not holding the blade down far enough or not hold
    the flex shaft with enough control and force. Please contact me off
    list and I would be happy to call you. I do not live in your area. 

Best wishes,
Cathy Wheless
