I'm trying to do some work with some 12 awg high carbon steel wire for some scale mail to reduce the weight of it. however the problem I'm running into is how to cut it as it just ignores jewelers saw blades. it also has a habit of tweaking the blades on my bolt cutters so its a pain to cut that way. anyone have any suggestions on how to get the jewelers saw to work on it and still have the super thin and clean cut that the normal blades produce?
