The variable speed scroll saw accepts 127mm - 133mm pin end
scroll saw blades. The blade width, thickness and the number of teeth
per inch will be determined by the material and size of the radius
being cut. Very fine narrow blades should be used to scroll cut in thin
material, 6mm thick or less. Wider blades cannot cut curves as tight
or as small as thinner blades. To cut thicker material, use wider blades
with fewer teeth.
Blade selection
• When cutting wood, best
results are achieved with
pieces less than 25mm
thick
• When cutting wood
thicker than 25mm, the
user should guide the
workpiece very slowly into
the blade, taking extra
care not to bend or twist
the blade while cutting.
