LOL Don't even blink too hard!

Do you have to pay for you stall at these shows? Just curious

I have been using "Gorrilla Glue" recently. It is very tough stuff. You damped one side of the joint and glue the other, then bring them together and clamp if possible. It does expand and can make a mess if you are not sparing with it. Makes a good joint though.

Just to come back to this...hmmmm I think is where it's still at. Done a few more small piece with this spiral blade, a couple of Xmas trees, Santa, a snowman and Olaf from Frozen. Olaf can do one with his siily spindly arms and spindly hair - he is currently undergoing recontstructive surgery with Dr Gorrilla Glue for an amputated arm Not even sawn off, just snapped The blades though - they do leave a lot of clean up, not just the fuzzies but even a tiny hesitation by the operator leaves mark to be sanded off. But they are still much quicker and allow me to use the ends of long pieces of material. Hmmmm.....

I've just been to Poundland and got a pair of 2x reading specs, we'll see how they go when sawing. Also printing out Xmas "colouring in" pics as they make easy stencils to cut around. They also have loads of LED strings, 10 & 20 to a string, run on 3v. And 3v coin cell batterys. Time for some scrolling, cutting & soldering

In My Opinion anything more than a couple of weeks is worth taking the blade off. As much as anything it's something less for things to fall into around the workshop!

It was handy for the 1st cut which was at the end of a long piece of wood - meant less wasteage! Not sure what they are, will have to google. I was going to say I might give that a go in the garage, but not if I've been sawing MDF! Also my other half would have Things To Say if I start with waving a flame about in my office LOL

Hmm a mixed bag of responses there The little Aeropiccola isn't variable speed :( Just on & off. Yesterday I was cutting singles in some thin OSB - stack cutting OSB with a flat blade was very hard & messy work, so went back to single thickness. It will be worth trying a stack cut with the spiral blade to see how that works. This set of trees will be mostly hidden, so they're not pretty and the back is quite fuzzy. Probably a quick brush over with some emery boards will sort them enough for this job. It's £1 (75c?) for a large blister pack of emery boards - as used for tidying finger nails etc. - but they are dead handy for sanding tight corners

Wow that's a warm welcome, thanks everyone

Hi all, I've done some sawing but nothing fancy, using plain ended blades and a couple of different saws. The other week I saw a Youtube video of someone sawing with spiral blades and it looked dead easy, so eBayed a pack of 12 & tried them today. Really not sure how I feel about them, having cut two Christmas tree shapes (about 3"/75mm tall). The kerf seems wider and it's much easier to go "off-line" and cut into the work - a moments inattention cut the star off the top of one tree, which I havn't done in the previous 6 of the same pattern! On The Other Hand, you can get a motoring speed up, cutting through the wood What's the opinion round here on them? Good for speed butchery or handy tools after a lot of practice? cheers, Zed

Hi, Signed up here today because this looks like an interesting forum with a lot of posts. I have a nice Delta machine, the top blade quick-clamp is a joy. Sadly can't use it at the moment cos it's in the garage. In the office is a mad little Aeropiccola machine acquired at auction - the blade fitting is a real pain in the wossname sadly :( But I have been using it recently to cut some Christmas tree shapes. Cheers all Zed
