Sliced my hand pretty severely with a hobby knife which has convinced me to get a jeweler's saw for cutting my miniatures up. What do I need, beyond the frame and blades?Should I get something like this instead: http://www.meeplemart.com/store/p/22950-Army-Painter-Hobby-Saw.aspx ? Any recommendations in regards to brands? Will I need some sort of vice? How difficult/easy is it to cut in a curve? ANy tips or tricks I should be aware of?

What are you trying to do? It's always best to use the right 'tool' for the job.

If I'm cutting all the way through a model (for example, at the waist for a bike conversion), I use a saw similar to the one linked (hobby store budget version, no issues for what I use it for), but without a vice or anything - just a cutting surface and a rigger glove on the hand holding the model (that way the first slip won't injure me). Patience is vital - trying to go too fast puts more pressure on the blade, and makes any slips (inevitable really) more likely to injure.

A sharp blade is less likely to hurt you. I know that sounds completely the wrong way round, but if you're having to put more force into the motion due to a worn blade, you're more likely to slip. For close-up stuff with a hobby knife, I use rubber thimbles (of the sort used for counting bank notes) to protect my digits.

I don't have much experience cutting in a curve (not strictly true - I always try to cut straight, but end up with a slight curve), but you'll need a thinner blade for it (a wide blade assists cutting straight, and attempting to 'bend' it for a curve will damage the blade and possibly break it). Again, explain what you're trying to do exactly?

I'm trying to cut space marine legs for repositioning and extension. I know I shouldn't have gone with the hobby knife for that, but I foolishly thought "what's the worst that could happen?" The reason I'm asking about cutting in a curve is mostly for the feet, which would need a slight curve if I want to keep it intact.
