If the Rexon will accept piercing saw blades then get a pack of them from any jewellers or clockmaking supplier. I've hand-pierced 1.2mm thick stainless with my piercing saw. |

1081 forum posts 39 photos | Looking at Axminster they have 59T blades, depends on wether the saw has pin or plain clamping. My saw has adaptors to take both types, not a Rexon. If I remember Axminster used to sell Rexon as I have a bench drill which I am sure I bought from them at a show at Warwick many moons ago. |
