Inside Cuts
Inside cuts such as circles or the insides of closed letters can be easily cut with your scroll saw by threading the blade through a hole drilled in the workpiece.
To make an inside cut:
1.Disconnect the machine from the power source.
2.Remove blade and throat plate.
3.Drill a hole in the waste portion of the work- piece that is large enough for the pins to fit through.
4.Thread the blade through the hole in the workpiece as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Installing the blade for an inside cut.
5.Replace the throat plate, mount the blade and tension it.
6.Make the inside cut and go back to step 1 for the next inside cut.
Bevel Cuts
Bevel cuts can be used for miters, cope joints, and making relief or recessed projects.
To make a bevel cut:
1.Draw your pattern as described in the previ- ous sections.
2.Adjust the table to the desired angle.
3.Using the same principles as in the previous sections, feed the work slowly and evenly into the blade, remembering not to force the workpiece (Figure 14).

4.Wait until all motion has stopped before removing waste near the blade.
