I have worked as a bench jeweler in the past and just recently set up a custom jewelry design/repair shop in a caboose in the Sandhills of Nebraska. Bandsaw blade for copper

Whitesmithing | Artmetalists bandsaw | blade | copper | cutting Hi all, I have been trying to find a bandsaw blade for my vertical bandsaw and have not had any luck. I called my local metal supplier and he could not find what I needed either, so I was wondering if anyone knew of somewhere I could find what I am looking for. I am cutting 1" thick copper (about 25 30ga.sheets stacked)and I need a 1/4" blade 92"long with 6tpi. I am trying to cut out multiple patterns at once and the blade that I got from Lowe's just won't stand up to the job. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! cutting out multiple patterns

Whitesmithing copper | cutting | pattterns Hi, I have searched this site and have not found an answer to my question so I thought that I would ask all the talented people here. My question is, "What is the best most economical and fastest way to cut multiple patterns?" I am working with 30ga. copper. I have a small shop and I have been cutting my patterns out one at a time with heavy duty scissors by tracing the pattern each time. I have also tried placing about 5 layers of copper sandwiched between thin plywood and cut it out on my scrollsaw. The problem with that is, I can't find any metal cutting scrollsaw blades. I went through 8 spiral blades and cut out 2 flower petals which would really be 10 petals total; it only took 1-1/2hrs! need a tip: welding light cast to square cold-rolled
