How do I get a smooth cut through metal?

Sticky sawblades

When sawing metal with a jeweler's saw sometimes the blade will catch and get stuck. To prevent this,run a piece of wax once down the teeth of the saw blade. Bees wax is best, but I have used a candle in a pinch.

Guru's note: Be sure to run the wax "down" the blade, in the same direction as the cutting teeth, to avoid clogging up your sawblade.
