Dremel shell stringing/banding saw
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
For Brian Jones – my Heath Robinson shell stringing saw.I occasionally use shell stringing on my work and trying to cut them without splintering the edges was difficult. So I made this wooden contraption to hold a Dremel which I can clamp in the vice. Instead of the small steel saw blades you can get for the Dremel I use these fibro/resin cutting discs/wheels.They do the job really well, and give a very smooth edge, though they do wear down quite quickly. But as they are cheap its no problem. As you can see I didn't bother with a sophisticated fence, just a piece of wood and a couple of clamps.I get the laminated shell sheet that I cut the strings off from Australian Mother of Pearl. They sell standard thicknesses, but will do custom thicknesses if required. The range is amazing – pau, gold MOP, white MOP, muscle etc etc
