Blade Information

Important issues regarding blade perfor- mance:

•Scroll saw blades wear out and must be replaced frequently. Typically a blade will stay sharp anywhere from 1⁄2 to 2 hours depending on how the blade is used and what type of material is being cut.

•Best cutting results will be achieved when cutting material less than 1" thick.

•When cutting material thicker than 1", use a very slow feed rate.

•Blades will become dull quickly whenever making cuts in plywood, hardwoods, and laminates.

•Exerting excessive side pressure on the blade greatly increases the chance of blade breakage.

Blade Speed

To change the blade speed:

The blade speed is variable between 400 and 1600 strokes-per-minute (SPM). Blade speed adjustments are made using the variable speed /power knob (Figure 11) on the front of the scroll saw.
