Hi all,

    This is my first post here so let me introduce myself.  I run a
    small internet business making jump rings and chainmail rings.  I
    finally broke down and bought a long jump ringer and a foredom, but
    what I really wanted was an all metals saw. I've gotten various
    responses from suppliers about its availablity. I know Ray lurks here
    so I was hoping he could answer this. What happened to the all-metals
    saw? 

    Will I ever be able to buy one?  Are you redesigning it, or is it
    gone for good? 

    Oh, and I got my long jump ringer from Indian Jeweler's Supply and
    they sent me the old version with only one slot, but charged me the
    new version price.  I've been trying to get them to take it back and
    replace it, but they won't return my phonecalls.  Ugh!  I thought
    they weren't supposed to sell those anymore. 

    One more question, 

    I've been going through sawblades like mad.  I expected them to last
    a lot longer than they do.  Even the Ray Grossman brand blades
    shatter after less than one pound of material.  Am I asking too much
    of my blades or am I doing something wrong?  Any tips?  How long do
    your blades last?  I cut mostly aluminum but also silver and copper. 

Thanks for your help,
Natalie Horvath
