Dak0ta52 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Welcome form North Carolina. Blades can make a big difference on cutting along a line. Even the same brand and size may differ slightly. Practice, practice, practice. You'll get the hang of it. Yes, we love seeing pictures.

rafairchild2 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 Welcome aboard!! Here's a tip for you that I gave recently, that you might find helpful as you learn the craft. Quote One of the tricks I learned is to try and cut as much as possible with the "waste" area to the right of my blade. I use Flying Dutchman and noticed that it favors the right side, and that's where it will drift to. I find I have the best control and best lines using this rule. Plus, if I screw up, most of the time it will be in the waste area and not the "live" area. Mistycat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry walters Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Another welcome from Colorado. You will be surprised the amount of help you will receive from the folks here. Like you, I too had a scroll saw for years and would use it occasionally. Not until I retired did it spend time really learning this craft. Still learning.
