    Just in case you didn't know a brown paper sack is supposed to be equal to 1200 grit !

    all of the above is correct ,Rule #1 the BLADE ANY BLADE even when perfectly straight to the table ,will bend (flex )opposite the forces applied.the blades center is flush with the table ,which is always the center of the (flex )the top and bottom are in the clamp and stationary ,the tention will automatically straighten from the tight tention you have set BUT HAS TO HAVE TIME TO CATCH UP ! thicker the wood the more time it takes ,side pressure has to work it's flex out after side pressure is removed and travels forward ,Table angle (planned taper is a different matter it is constant )However you can ruin that with side pressure by creating a bow even in that .The BLADE IS THE BOSS ,Your just the steering mechinism ,Slow ,Steady and straight even on curves you only pivot while still going straight !Saw dust must have time to clear the kerf or it loades up the gullets (between the teeth) when that occurs your #7 blade becomes a wide space #2 ,Easy on the PRESSURE ,CONTROL is what you are after !!

    Anybody tried this yet ? Lowe's has it super flexable ,comes in sheets and roll despenser pack ,supposed to last 15x longer than paper backed ,seems to have semi clear thin plastic back use wet or dry ,just got a pk ,not cheap looks like it could be fashioned easily to get into areas std. cannot !

    Do to my wifes health concerns ,I built my own ,to be close ,great to be this close ,able to go out for a few minutes as weather permits and in the event my score exceeds yours ,I can leave with my wallet uncathed .great way to clear the mind for a few minutes ,takes 1 1/2 hrs to play 18 .200 yd longest shot ! keeping grass cut is only down side .

    You are bowing the blade,SLOW down your pushing too hard ,the blade must be able to catch up with the cut (cut a piece of scrap ,saw in make a 2' circle ,make the shape like a golf ball on a tee as you go to exit out the edge watch what cuts through first ,the top the rest is a bow and must catch up to exit smoothly,then look at your cut out will it slide out boths side or just one ,then look at the cut piece see any taper ,which way is it and where is it worse , the exiting at the edge gives you a grafic ,if you just break through the edge at the top ,stop the saw loosen blade clamps top and bottom remove the work piece with the blade still in place you will see what I am talking about ,now look to see if there is also some side bend ,from side pushing ! This is all part of letting your blade clear all the saw dust out of the kerf before oroceeding .smaller thinner blads are worse ,bigger thocker blade in thicker wood are more problematic

    The scroll saw is the safest tool in my shop ,even a cluts has to work hard to get cut by one seriously ! for years I had a picture of the OSHA cowboy hangin in my shop ! Tools do not think or care thats the operators job ,distractions and over confidence cause majority of issues ,ask any Harley driver who has laid his bike down . The only safe tool is one still in the box unless you drop it on you foot ! attention .CONSTANT ATTENTION ,is needed !

    Note of caution ,there are a lot of lurkers on the reading end as well ,you will note the vast difference between the veiwers and the responders , some I fear will never respond ,just gathering info . I'm sorry for that ,their imput could be refreshing and note worthy .But time and circumtances as well as interest level play a major part ! Welcome ,Join in as time permits and post pixs as well ,We all had our first projects !

    Lexan must better acrylic scratches easy ,I've made several over the yrs ,band saw or scroll saw works outer ,holes saw or scroll saw inner ,leave paper on ,I also use candle wax to eliminate refusing plastic ,slower speed bigger teeth ! I made a 16"inch one for special project .Lexan harder to find and much more expensive .If you have and and are good you can do with jig saw .fileing reguired .not hard just take time and care !

    HUD, I stick to ducks and planes and air boats ,I use pvc textured 1x6" threaded alum screw in inserts 8-32 sholder bolts bronze sleeve bushings, pvc siding wings and props ,pvc hubs glued and pinnailed ,out winter and summer ,only problem is excessive flex of wings in high winds knocking out the eyes of the ducks and cracking wings in cold weather .no warp no weather issues ,bleach body once a yr. Kryton plastic paint on planes and snoopy ,best longest lasting ,1/2 pvc cross spacer for duck wing s .NO_LOX on threads in to alum inserts .works great !

    Plywood by nature is cross laminated &,type wood used ,number of layers ,specifics vary widely to intended use ,price varies greatly as to top vaneer material moisture content #1 cuprit ,thus some acts like sponges and bow to weakest point , major reason OSB is so popular it's flat short grained mulyi directional ,more glue ,or resin less affected by moisture changes some even to immersion in water , best advice i can give buy flatest cut to near size of intended projects lay flat and weight down cover w/ plastic sheet and store in dryest place you have ! no easy answer (just the nature of the beast ) I have seen factory banded bundles on job sight bands cut ,sun and humidity of morning hits it starts to make top sheets look like potatoe chips in a couple hr s..

    I think I have seen so very detailed ,beaitiful works done with spirals .The teeth are rotated and the gullet is comprimised or diminished ,so you are actually only using the tips of the teeth and the dust is much finer and if not cleared completely you have a very thin round rasp instead of a saw blade ,then the fun begins . yes! they are unforgiveing if forced ,you are the controler of the speeds and the force !
  22. Multifasited
    Larry, mike has flat tip spirals ,but like I said above they are not perfectly flat like a standard blade ,at least mine were not . You will love them if you start slow ,get your control and sneek up on the speed ,you can NOT force a spiral and expect it to cut straight ,it's round and flexs more in all directions equally always cutting 3 sides at once !

    I am sure digital is more accurate ,are they in .000 ,I guess I should just look them up ! I was hopeing for a cheap better way ,and thought I'd pass along to others with similar situations . Thanks for the response and the tip!
  24. Multifasited
    Flat tips ! being they are truely spirals they are not completely flat but much better !

    This is not digital ,this is more G.P. carpentry about 5"x5" thats why it was only 10 bucks ,I have not looked up a digital because of my precieved thought of the cost ! this kind the floor the floor counts no adjustments ,it's a JOHNSON magnetic protractor angle finder HD special , were on a beans and rice diet around here w/medical expenses and just S.S. ,not whining ,just stating facts . The one you have sounds lovely ,but I think out of my budget ,like I said it's the blade to the table ,but with this type your going off the table solely .
