Paint the bad side and use it for the back side of the backer board.

Trying a #2 UR (edit: #2/0) for the first time
dgman replied to Matthew Simmons's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Now that you have clarified the blade size, yes the FD UR # 2/0 is a bugger to control, even with 25 years experience, I can’t control them. When I need such a small blade, I go back to Olson Reverse Tooth 2/0 blades. For me, they track nicely. -
Trying a #2 UR (edit: #2/0) for the first time
dgman replied to Matthew Simmons's topic in General Scroll Sawing
First off, welcome to the Village Matthew. I’m a bit confused as Flying Dutchman does not make an FD UR #2. There are #1, #3, #5, #7, #9, and I think a #12. I am of the mind that you always, always use the highest tension as possible. I used DeWALT saws for over twenty years and have always set the tension as high as possible, including the smaller blades such as 0/2, and #1. I alway thought that the numbers on the tension lever were unnecessary. I’m sure there are scrollers that adjust their tension according to Wood type and thickness, but for me, it’s the highest tension as possible. You always want to hear a high “ping” when you pluck the blade, regardless of blade size. -
I don’t understand why you need to hold the arm up to Change blades. I’ve had a Pegas for a year and a half and had DeWALTS for over 20 years and never had to lift the arm to install a blade! I am a top feeder and I simply hold the arm up with one hand and line up the blade with the other hand, then let the arm gently lower itself. As for changing blades, it’s just as easy to install the blade without lifting the arm.

Merry Christmas to all! Living in So. California we don’t get snow, so it’s nice to see here.

Nice looking work Marg! I’m retiring in June of next year, so I will have time to get back to exchanging ornaments with my friends!
-
Nice work!

Cool!

Nice work Ron!

Great looking project Ron! I don’t remember what my first scroll saw project was, it was too long ago!
-
Happy happy to all, and to all, a good night!
-
Welcome back Ron! You have been missed! I hope your health problems are behind you.
-
You a crazy man!

Not so happy here. Because of the Santa Anna winds, there is a red flag warring going on here. The electricity has been off since 6:30am. Our stove is electric, so can’t cook! Hopefully, we will try again tomorrow.

I guess you could call it” Flame Yellowheart”.

Ray, I have always used high tension with all blades. Both on the DeWALT and now on the Pegas. The blade wandering is caused by not enough tension. Do as mentioned above. Use the black knob to make the arm parallel with the table only.

True, but if you order through the Flying Dutchman website you get free shipping on blades.

Nice!

I don’t have any experience with the Seyco saw but I do own a Pegas saw purchased from Denny. It is a great saw and would highly recommend it and Denny from Artcraftets.

All of the above. I drill a lot of 1-3/8” holes for clock inserts and set the drill press at its slowest speed, which I think is 620rpm without any problems.
