What is "intersecting" Wood Art? Sam

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Larry, if your breakfast is broken, we can engineer a fix for it I need to head to section where I can ask questions Thank you Sam

Hello members, My name is Sam. I am a new scroller to this forum. I have been in mechanical engineering for 30+ years. I have been called "Mr. perfect, Perfectionist, Picky..." I am currently an engineering manager in a small company in southern California. I have always told the folks who work for me: "nothing less than perfect is acceptable". Sometimes they hated me for that, but I am proud to preach perfection. As a teen ager I did a lot of scrolling by hand. Made lots of light chandeliers, exotic bird cages, and many other fancy pieces (no pictures of these). In my thirties, I bought my first Dremel scroll saw and made a lot of wood pieces and tried selling at flee markets (people didn't want to pay for all that nice work). I few weeks ago I bought a used Ridgid Scroll Saw. that thing vibrates like a tumbler. couldn't work with it. I just got a good deal on a used Excalibur 16. I am looking forward to asking a lot of questions (about fine tuning/setting up the blade and scrolling) I will contribute and help as much as possible when I get more experience. Thank you all . Looking forward to being a member. Sam

Newbie question. I haven't found the section to introduce myself in. would someone please, point me to it? But I have a question: I would like to cut acrylic with me Excalibur 16 which I just bought. Are there blades suited to cut acrylic? 1/8 & 1/4". Thank you Sam
