Do you think you're experienced with a scroll saw? Are you aware of all its capabilities, and is your knowledge of this versatile tool completely up-to-date? Here's the place to find out.
This durable bench-top manual, with its shop-proof cover and spiral binding that lies flat, contains every professional secret and shortcut you'll ever need. From standard features to saw blades, from adjustments and alignment to materials and sawing operations, it's the complete start-to-finish reference to the scroll saw. Included is an examination of:
• the differences between C-frame and parallel-arm scroll saws, and bench and floor models
• scroll-saw features and components - including ways of maintaining the different parts
• blade-selection factors, with helpful charts and tables showing which blades to use in specific situations, and ways to modify blades to facilitate the cut
• the accessories and jigs that will aid in many different cutting techniques
• the best ways to extract dust, store blades, use patterns, and make adjustments that ensure straight blade-tracking and accurate cuts
• safety techniques
• sawing operations you've probably never tried before and old, reliable ones you may have forgotten.
Tabbed pages guide you right to a whole host of techniques, including basic steering skills, ways to cut thick wood and non-wood material, marquetry, intarsia, internal-sawing techniques, and methods for cutting circles and curves.
It's as essential on your workbench as any prized tool!
