Look up on Amazon ¡°German style jewelers saw¡±.
They are available for around $13 for a saw frame and 144 blades. ?
I am sure that true made in Germany blades would be a higher quality. ?That said I have used both inexpensive and German or Swiss made blades. The difference in quality was difficult to quantify (a little smoother, lasted a little longer) and prices were like $10 a package of 20 or 30 versus around $20-30 a package. Micromark and Lee Valley have good quality ones. Amazon has all types and qualities.?
The Unimat saw frame appears to be a clamp type design for plain end jewelers blades.?
Before laying out a few hundred dollars for the Unimat attachment, get a saw frame and some blades to see if they work for you in a hand saw frame. If yes then the saw frame attachment will work for your needs.?
I would start on one of those sites and look for ¡°metal cutting¡± description. Those blades are useful and work better than you might think, even by hand.?

?Morning all,
Does anyone use their jig and sabre saw attachment on their unimat if so;
1. Is it functional or just a novelty??
2. Are blades available? I presume the normal jigsaw blades will work for the sabre saw but the thin blades look very different and most likely unavailable.
Some thought from owners and users would be much appreciated
Dave
