Metal Came Tools
Ability To Make A Frame Any Size or Shape.
Want to make a stained glass panel that is round or oval? Not sure how to get the came frame to fit?With these two metal came tools, you can make this happen.
Came Bender
When looking for came tools, this is a great one to have.The came bender will perform precision curves on zinc, brass and copper came.
What does this mean for you?
This means greater design freedom when rigid came is required.
The came bender is able to bend both "U" shape and "H" shape came.
Came Saws
Came saws are used to cut metal came in either zinc, brass or copper.
Came saws range from a manual model to a power mitre chop saw.
A manual came saw consists of a precision saw and a mitre vise. This is the least expensive of all came saws, but will require more time and effort.
Electric powered came saws range from 90 to 250 watt units. Blade sizes vary from 2" to 5-3/4".
All came saws adjust from 0 to 45 degrees allowing for proper mitres. The more powerful the came saw, the easier it will cut, not to mention durability.
Don't want to cut manually and not willing to pay for more expensive units, then consider the mini cut-off saw available at Harbor Freight for under $25. It is electric, has a 2" blade and has proven to be reliable for over 5 years on the many projects I have used it on. Of all came tools, this may be one of the least expensive.
