• Three things will have great effect on the
cut when using a scroll type saw:
1. The material being cut.
2. Blade speed (strokes per minute blade).
3. Cutting speed (how fast material is
pushed into blade).
• There is not ONE blade that is the best for
every given job.
• A coarse blade should be used for thicker
material and a finer blade for thinner
material. The thinner the blade, the
sharper the turn it can execute.
• There should always be 3 to 4 teeth in
contact with the work at all times.
• Cutting hard material like metal and
material that can melt, like acrylic, will
generally require slower speed on the tool
and a lower feed rate.
• The best starting point on any cut is at a
point or corner because you can control

practice, it's easy to do. Practice

control, chances are the blade is becoming
dull. There's no substitute for a sharp
blade. Wood and metal will both dull a
blade quickly. If a lot of cutting is being
completed, change your blade as often as
necessary.
