How to understand classification of scroll saw blades
trackman replied to Ash's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Never apologize for asking a question. No one was born a expert (though some may think they did) so all had to ask a question now an again. Welcome ask away! -
The flag makes it really stand out. Is it a picture or real?

The pattern was made by Bobscroll. A woman asked for it to be made for her grandson. Said he was named after the James River in Tennessee. Don’t know why but didn’t question grandma lol. Made with red oak, bb backer an maroon construction paper in between. Thanks Bob!!

I miss spoke about the tension level. With the level in the on position (pointing back) turn screw to just touch. THEN move level towards you in off position and turn screw 1/4” more Sorry about that!

The motor has screws that you loosen to let you turn the motor. Put a piece of wood 1x1 or 2x2 behind the blade an run the saw. As it is running turn the motor until the wood doesn’t bounce with the blade hitting it. The back knob is to adjust the aggressiveness of cut. I set mine so the arm measurement is the same from arm to table at the back as the front. The front tension level you adjust by having the level in off position an turn the small set screw so it just touches the housing THEN turn 1/4” more. You will have same tension each time you use it. Hope the helps you.

Guys don’t forget he will be getting a bunch of blades an stand also. I find when buying something like this I get a lot of extra things the seller gives away that is not needed after selling the item. I have a EX21 and only needed a bigger one one time but it would have been nice. Warranty isn’t that big of a deal (to me).

I have an EX21 an would be all over this saw!! If I was near it.

When this happens to me & it has, I just glue it back with yellow wood glue (TB2)

The notch is a defect that is known about an they will replace if you need. I haven’t had any problems with breaking blades. But in 10 years I think I may have had two break.

I'm sort of confused over the whole C/A glue subject

Instara people use the CA glue to put pieces together before attaching to backer board. -
Adding to the light coats suggestion lightly sand with 400 paper between coats. Makes a much smoother finish.

That is so cool!! Will have to get pattern and make one just to say I have one lol.

In my Lowe’s in Muncie Indiana you have to have a search warrant to find someone to help you.

Try putting the clear tape over the top of blue painters tape. Much easier to remove.
