    Speed and tension, if you have the speed set right and the tension is taught then you should have no issues. You have to be able to not apply lateral pressure while cutting, otherwise, you'll always have issues. Len

    Gonzo, it's to bad that your having problems with your new saw. If you return it, what will you do for a saw? I'm sure if you give them a chance, the company you bought it from should be able to solve all of your issues. Len

    Gonzo, personally, I think you made the right decision. After you get things straightened out, I think you'll really like the saw. Len

    Monti, personally, I don't think a backer is required. Normally, I'd say it does, but, seeing what it's made for I don't think it does. Len

    Roly, that's a great bit of repurposing of the fence posts. Len

    Brain farts Kevin, we all have them now and again. Don't worry about one missed picture, these two look great. Len

    Two very nice looking cuttings Ike, what do you plan to use for a finish? Len

    Jim, a respirator or dust mask is essential. There's little to no need to protect your eyes and ears, if your not going to protect your lungs. It's the dust that you make that will kill you, so, you have to protect your lungs from inhaling it. Before you buy any more tools, you should buy a dust collection system. It's not who owns the most tools that wins, it's those who protects themselves from inhaling wood dust that wins. I own all of the tools that you own, and even more. What I put the most value on, is my dust collection system. I still have to purchase an air filtration unit that hangs from the ceiling, I plan to do that this summer. Len

    Kevin, you sure are keeping busy, you need a place to sell what you make. Len

    Mark, you can use whatever thickness of wood you want. I've made trivets in the past, and the type of wood I used dictated what thickness to cut at. I've made them out of 1/8" plywood, and I've made them out of 3/4" stock also. They all did what they were meant to, and no table top or table cloth were ever damaged when using them. Len

    They will work, but, the original type would be better. Len

    I've used it in the past, but, it was very hard on blades. Len

    Beautifully done. Len

    Matt, they look great, I think I'd be stack cutting them. Len

    Wowsa Bob, what a magnificent bit of cutting, you have way more patience than I do. Len

    If this new product is the same as Meranti, I won't be using it, I don't like using Meranti. It's brittle and it doesn't stain evenly, and if painted the color of the wood bleeds through. Plus, at $13.00 U.S. per sheet, it's already more expensive than Meranti is. Len

    Dave, it probably was luan/meranti that you used, this stuff is supposed to be an enviroment friendly substitute. Len

    Russell, I enjoy cutting puzzles, I cut them just for display purposes. Personally, I like the "b" style as my first choice, but, the "a" is a very close second. I would never choose the "c" style, there's to many sharp degree corners. Len

    MDF

    Lucky2 replied to edward's topic in General Scroll Sawing

    I've used it often, it does a perfect job as a backer. It looks nicer than plywood when painted, because it's surface is so smooth. When I use MDF I use wood glue, it works great. Len
