Scroll Saw #14

Open FBurkelwsd opened 6 months ago

FBurkelwsd commented 6 months ago

● Scroll saws are useful for precision-cutting intricate curves and patterns on thin stock. They have thin blades that move rapidly up and down through the opening in the saw table. The blade is held in upper and lower chucks that pull it tight and keep it from bending. A hold-down adjusts to the thickness of the wood being cut. ● Scroll saws are generally not considered to be as dangerous as other saws; however, contact at the point of operation can cause hand and finger injuries. Contact with the blade can also occur below the table. ● The machine is turned on/off by a switch or knob and the material is pushed through the moving blade. The cutting motion should always be away from the operator.

If your material keeps shaking, be sure to increase blade speed and push into blade with less force/speed. Also blade may need to be replaced.
