I can't find any good quality coping saw blades in Norway for this standard frame.
This is how the blade looks after cutting two screw slots. No teeth left!!
I made the screws from regulare mild steel bolts. I've tried sandvik blades. Any other recommendations?
Best regards
Rolf

Rolf.
I use Bahco, these are harder than other brands.
Try red annealing in vegetable oil, cool and temper a little.

That looks like a miniature hacksaw.How long is the blade shown in metric or inch measurement?

Maybe try making blades from metal-cutting bandsaw blade stock. If you can get enough tension on the blade, they work fairly well. Use a new blade as the source of your stock, as used blades are prone to fracture.

Rolf, I have used the Eclipse brand blades, 6" long to cut screw slots with no problems in mild steel. I have thought of grinding some of the set off of a normal hacksaw blade but have not done it yet.

That is a 6" Mini-hacksaw not a coping saw. I have one and use it with H.S.S. blades which last longer than any carbon steel blades. Have a look at AMAZON.com

Check out a plumbing supply store. I was a plumber years ago and this was a common style saw blade used for cutting the bolts off flush after mounting the toilet to the floor. I expect they will carry them even in Norway.
