Popular Post Old Joe Posted December 7, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well, this was a learning experience. I was getting used to the new saw and using almost all spiral blades. I only used flat blades on the handful of larger cuts. I also messed around with the setup a bit as I went along. Worked on the front to back movement, had to reduce it a pinch. Got everything perfect by the end. Anyway, this is a Charles Dearing pattern of Tom Petty, cut in 1/4” BB, backed by a piece of Poplar. 306 cuts, I think.

stoney Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Great job to both you Joe for the cutting and Charles for the pattern. It is a really nice piece. Your work reinforces my view that some really beautiful projects can be accomplished with spiral blades. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a really nice piece. Your work reinforces my view that some really beautiful projects can be accomplished with spiral blades. I was screwing around getting the new Pegas setup exactly how I wanted it while cutting this, but as best I can figure I had close to 16-20 total hours in this from start to finish, not all cutting time. Using all flat blades would’ve taken longer. This made me a convert to spirals for many applications. I started using them a bit on my last project on my DW788, a Dearing pattern of Gandalf, but that was a full 1/2” piece of African Rosewood and I broke a bunch of blades, which I did not do on this one. I didn’t break one blade, though I dulled a few. Edited December 8, 2019 by Old Joe scrollingforsanity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
