In SMP, if you face a micro block and try to place a Jacketed Wire on it, the micro block will become invisible.Jacketed Bluewire/Cables/Wires fed through these blocks can connect to other Bluewire/Cables/Wires/redpower component/blulectric components outside the microblock without readily apparent openings. To feed a Jacketed Bluewire/Cable/Wire through a wall/floor and have it appear out of the side of the wall itself without any apparent holes stack vertically (or horizontally if floor) one of the following pairs of blocks. The Diamond Handsaw may cut the above blocks, plus the following: The Gem Handsaws may cut the above blocks, plus the following: The Iron Handsaw may cut only the following types of blocks: This recipe works both directions, in case you want to recover some strips. To make a pillar, post or column, simply place a strip of the appropriate size into the crafting grid by itself.

Connections in all other directions are still possible. A Micro Block, however, will not prevent placement of Red Alloy Wire in the same blockspace, only the connection through the Micro Block. The Micro Block must be placed before placing the wire, as otherwise the crossconnecting wire will block the space for the Micro Block. If they are placed between two planned, uninsulated red alloy wires, the wires will not connect because the Micro Block is in the way. This comes in handy when making glass structures as normal glass cannot be harvested, but glass-based Micro Blocks can. Micro Blocks are recoverable by hand, though a pickaxe is usually faster. Pillars, Posts, Columns and Hollow blocks may additionally be crafted without the use of a Handsaw. Using these handsaws it is possible to craft Slabs, Panels and Covers, along with Strips and Corners of each size. However, only a Diamond Handsaw may cut Obsidian, Diamond Blocks, or Gem Blocks.

If you have installed Redpower World, you may also use Rubies, Sapphires or Emeralds, all of which will allow you to cut many more blocks than with Iron.

An Iron Handsaw will work for soft materials, but for the hardest blocks you will need a Diamond Handsaw. The Wiring Module adds the ability to craft Micro Blocks and covers in order to craft these you will need a Handsaw.
