I'd like to cut some rings to make chainmail. I'm using 16ga mig wire and
winding them on a 1/4 inch dowel.

I want to cut them with a jewelers slotting saw. I've found the blades
all over the place but can't find an arbor that will fit into a 3/8 inch
drill chuck. Where do I get one?


Got a 15YO painstakingly making himself a big old bunch of chain mail this
summer, he just uses wire cutters. I've watched him, and he spends maybe 1% of
his time on cutting. I don't think it's worth your time to fuss with exactly the
right tool -- it's the crimping and assembling the rings that takes all the
time. Find a tool to speed you up there and you have something.
