Great video. You are the reason I started scrolling over 20 years ago. Bought a cheap harbor freight Scrollsaw, ordered some spiral blades, followed your videos and never looked back. Now, just doing it better with the Pegas saw that I bought from you. Oh, and you can teach an old dog new tricks. I have never enjoyed cutting the tiny pieces as you demonstrated on this video. Come to find out I have been starting from the outside and going in causing cracking and breakage. Cool tip, starting from the inside and cutting out. You the man, Scroll On. 👍

Thanks for the good video with any stupid music! I have spiral blades that I bought a while ago and never used them. You made me want to get busy and try them out before they are actually needed. Thanks again!

Well Charles I learned a lot from watching your videos and I still watch your videos when you post a new videos I love the cool scroll sawing you do I try to do it but it’s not that good yet

Thank you Charles for making this video. I have only been scroll sawing for the last 7 yrs or so and yet I still learned something new that would help from being frustrated while cutting. And that is that it is much much easier to avoid cutting on the side of the line, wood that you want to keep by simply lightly shading the waste side of the line. Wow! Of course that trick can also be useful too for cutting wood using regular single sided scroll saw blades as well. Very handy when making several very intricate designs where it can easily get a bit confusing during the cutting process of the design. Why I haven't thought of that one before, I'll never know. I must be a Rock! Again, TY for pointing that out ..... not to mention the several ideas you shared about the use of spiral blades.

Thank you for this! I use spirals when needed and flat blades when i can. They are both great but in my opinion they have theyr own purposes. Straight lines are easyer and smoother with a flat blade. What is most important to me is a really slippery smooth surface of the scroll table.

Great video, Mr. Dearing. I’ve been woodcarving for less than a year and scroll sawing even fewer times (and only in regard to cutting out the wood patterns associated with my carving). I learned several valuable tips from your video. Thanks for posting it! I’m struggling with buying my first set of assorted scroll saw blades. The many various types of available blades is a bit overwhelming. Do you have any suggestions/guidance on choosing a good assortment of types of blades? And can you recommend a manufacturer of good quality blades?

@CharlesDearingScroller

Жыл бұрын

I only use Flying Dutchman blades. #3 and #5 because I usually cut large pieces. In fact you can get a percentage off of them by getting them from WoodenTeddyBear.com. If you get a gross or more, put CHARLES in the notes portion of the transaction. If you get less than a gross, put CHARLES in the gift card/discount box ;) As far as which Flying Dutchman varieties to use, the folks over at the site can guide you much better. Great folks over there! Thanks for watching and for the kind words.

You're the man, I don't like spiral blades because I'm the back there's too much tear out, could you possibly help me with that?

@CharlesDearingScroller

Жыл бұрын

I'm afraid tear out is the down side of spirals. You get less using spirals with reverse teeth included.

I was wondering if you could help me? I recently purchased a scroll saw. I bought some reversed blades and I’m cutting out images on cedar boards, but I can’t keep them straight. There’s a lot a little cuts. I was wondering about using a spiral for that, I’m not really sure what to do or what type of blade to go with Let’s say something like a pumpkin cut out. I tried it with a reverse blade but I can’t get them to come out straight.

Hi Charles, thanks for the video. What type of spiral blade are you using and how much tension do you put on the blade when mounted. I use Olsen blades but I get wiggly lines when I cut. The blade has a hard time to follow a straight line compared to my one sided blades. I'm thinking that I'm not tensionning the blade properly?

@CharlesDearingScroller

3 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. It does sound like you need more tension on the blade. To be sure, I have a video elsewhere on my channel called "Anatomy Of A Scroll Saw" that mentions the sound you want to hear when it's properly tensioned. I use only Flying Dutchman spirals #3 and #5

Thanks

Thank you for the tutorial and insight I have bought mine now and enjoy using them - early days. I did notice that when running them through my fingers, out the pack new, that they feel smooth in one direction and rough the other. There are no instructions on the pack that they should be inserted in any particular direction? I guess there is a choice though given how they feel. Which is the correct orientation smooth down or rough down, or doesnt it matter?

Hello Charles I watched a video that you did on the Hegner. I see that you are using the seyco which one do you like better they have a Hegnar on marketplace for a $1000 it is the multmax 22V Hegner Is that good or bad price. It is a 1997 He said it needed a new Bellow. Thanks for your help and all your videos I love watching them, and learning from them.👍

By drilling a pilot hole. That's what is done with scroll sawing. You drill a pilot hole and thread the scroll saw blade through it. Clamp it and cut. ;)
