Scrappile

I have made all kinds of the know adjustments, cleaned all kinds of parts, cleaned blades, untwisted the ends of the blade with no improvement. I even thought of bad blades, but switched clamps and no problem so far. Keep in mind, this is a very thin flexible blade compared to all the other blades I use. I have not had this problem with any other size blades I use, well a few times with the Pegas 2/0 spiral, but I expect it to happen more often with a spiral blade than a flat blade... Maybe I will play with it more some day when I an trying to not make pictures frames that I need to be making...

I have been using the #18 chisel blade in my x-acto knife for years and it has worked very well for me. This tool may even be better. Thanks

Does this help any? Not sure when this was last updated.

I did something last evening that I know is not going to be excepted here. I don't ask for forgiveness, I'm not proud of it but it had to be done, for now at least. I removed my Pegas clamps from my Seyco saw and went back to the old original clamps!!!!! I know, I know, I may be banned from here but I ask for your understanding. Here is why: I started cutting a picture that is my kind of fun scrolling. Detailed. I have to use Flying Dutchman 3/0 New Spiral Blades to accomplish it. I could not clamp the 3/0 Spiral in the Pegas clamp without getting the "Hockey Stick" bend in each end. I tried every trick I have learned in my years of scrolling to prevent it, but no matter, best I could do was get 3 or so clampings and it would happen. I am convinced it has something to do with the fact there are more exposed threads in the back of the Pegas clamp where you put the blade. The back of the original clamps has a very small area that has exposed threads and they are not as deep. That is the only difference I could see. I suspect the twist of that thin spiral is catching in a thread. I had it happen more often with a 2/0 pegas spiral also than I did with the original clamps. That is my second go to spiral blade. Anyway, I am back to the old clamps, at least when using the 3/0 spiral. Don't know is it is worth changing back to the Pegas clamp when not, I have to think on that..... maybe get a third scroll saw... several nice older Excaliburs for sale with in a couple hundred miles of me.........

Really well done!

Those are really very well done. I should do the Crappie one for my son. He has lots of Blue Gill and bass in his pond. This looks close to the blue gill. He could hand it in his garage where he keeps his fishing gear.

Nice job.

Or you two could make a saw like the Hegner with your ideas and add another scroll saw to those available. While you are producing these saws, add a bigger table to it.

Really a nice little shelf. Well done.

That turned out very nice to my eyes. If you didn't tell, no one would notice any mistakes... And yes, I have picked up a can of adhesive and sprayed a picture before....... I went and checked Mike William's site and that was one of his patterns. @New Guy, I have threaded a 3/0 spiral through a hole drilled with a #70 bit. Normally I use a #68 or if enough room a #65.

Very well done. Great scrolling, fitting and finishing.

Welcome to the forum.

they do have a screw with a star shape knob available. https://www.advmachinery.com/products/blade-clamp-wing-nut Personally I like using the tool more.

Really cute. I really like the I deal of the "Men's Shed" that I read about that are in Australia. Seems like it would really be fun.

Somewhere I save an article or video about building an nice little shaker. This reminded me. I hate shaking cans.. One could somehow tie it to the top arm of a scroll saw, it you have one like a Hegner or Hawk. That would shake it pretty well.

Well done! What kind of wood is that?

I think that looks great and very professional.

Very nicely done, Brenda.

Great work.

Bet the recipients were very happy. Great work.

Very nicely put together. They will be happy for sure.

What a great picture! Very well done and that is a beautiful frame...

Steve, that looks great!

Great job, Kevin...

That looks very nice!!
