john shankel Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 my question is why do i have to leave in all the trash from the first side . when cutting the second side ???? Quote
Sycamore67 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Not certain what you mean by trash. You need to leave as much as possible to be able to keep the piece at a 90° angle to the first side when cutting the second side. If you have little pieces from the first side that are from the middle, then those can be trashed. john shankel 1 Quote
dgman Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 To keep the piece stable. If you remove the fallout, your finished piece will move around and come out irregular. I use a home made clamp ficture to hold everything in place while cutting. Steve Good has one in his pattern catalog, but mind is a lot simpler. I actually have two different sizes. john shankel and Scrolling Steve 2 Quote
bandaideman Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I use a home made clamp as well and like this better than trying to hang on. Also good for very tiny cut outs john shankel 1 Quote

DWSUDEKUM Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 my question is why do i have to leave in all the trash from the first side . when cutting the second side ???? john by keeping the trash I assume that you mean what you just cut the answer is yes. This provides support for the second side to be cut. A lot of times I cut one side then clear tape it back together and cut the second side then take it apart to get my compound cut out.

Muzz Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I use tape as well. Double sided carpet tape is reasonably thin and the pieces are always well bonded together. Quote
