4. Line up the blade so it’s in the middle of the coil and rest the blade into the grooves which are on either end of your coil. This is great because it helps you keep your sawing straight.

5. Now saw with even strokes just as you would do without a jig. The rings will fall on the floor as you saw through each one. If you want, you might put a bucket there to catch them.

I’m sure you all have your own methods for making lots of jump rings. However, if you are looking to try a new technique, you might find this one works for you as well.
