Cutting rings for chain mail

Post by Justin »

For my whole chain mailling carrer I've been hand cutting my links, but I've heard a lot lately about using a circular blade for a circular saw to cut them quicker and easier. Can anyone give me more info about that? (how its done, what materials, blade thickness)

THANX
