Dragonkort Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 well I spent the morning in the woodshop. im working on the unicorn patterns i traced out from my mosic pattern book. So far the cutting isnt hard, very basic stuff. Im cutting it out 3 times. 2 in 1/4 inch wood so i can make one mosic and one puzzle out and the last one i'll be cutting out in 3/4 inch wood....all of them will have a 1/4 in backer. So whats my problem you might ask? I dont have a 0 clearence on my scroll saw and so far i have lost 3 very small peices through the hole and onto the floor and i cant find the darn little things... grrrrr!! and as much as i love making puzzles and cutting things out to put back together again i hate doing puzzles!!! and i have to put the 2 1/4 in peices back together again so i can try to trace the missing peices. But nerver let it be said that i do things half way!! now when i cut out the peices i put them in bowls so i wouldnt loose them....IF i had been thinking i would have gotten 2 different kinds of bowls but of course i didnt....nope i grabed 2 bowls that look excetly alike...and then just to make things more interesting I got the 2 bowls mixed up!! lol so im taking a break and am going to crochet and watch tv for a little bit befor cutting out the 3/4 inch peace and hopefuly IF the really small peices fly off the saw or fall through the hole i'll be able to find them as they are thicker then all the other stuff on the floor and if spike tells me this wouldnt be a problem if i cleaned up after i cut out a peice im going to bop him up side the head!!! lol ritia gave me some plexaglass so im going to look and see if i have a peice big enough to use on my scroll saw table top so i can make a 0 clearence for my scroll saw....lol nothing like putting the horse before the cart!!! hopeful the rest of you are having a better day!!! lol Quote
JustLarry Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 I also use plexiglass. Other items that can be used: Painter's tape. Playing card. Thin magnetic strip. Even a small box or tray slid under the table can work. Even if I use different holders for cut pieces, I do not always remember to put the right part into the right holder. Larry Quote
Jim McDonald Posted February 27, 2021 Report Posted February 27, 2021 I use tape when I need to zero the hole. Quote
