Re: Coping saw blades for metal
My jeweller brother has a leather flap under the 'vee' so when he's cutting the metal dust and swarf is easily collected in his lap rather than falling on the floor. It's easy enough then to tip it into a tin for melting down later. It might be a useful technique for less precious metals, as metal dust in the wrong places can cause problems!

Re: Coping saw blades for metal
A long apron with the bottom edge clipped to the edge of the bench, forming a pouch, is a good idea as well. Centuries ago clock and watchmakers used this idea.

Re: Coping saw blades for metal
Would a rodsaw/tilesaw work on metal? I've never tried.
