Thread: Scroll saw blade's

Yea, there are aftermarket blade holders for most saws, that use large knobs in place of Allen keys or screws and make changing a blade a quick simple task. I switched years ago and don’t remember how the blades attached, except that I had to have a special key that frequently got misplaced. I have a Hegner saw that is 30 plus years old and still going strong. Just keep the bushings oiled.

You also want to calibrate your saw table and blade, so they are square and cutting up and down as square as possible. It will not matter much for cutting scales, but still a good idea to align the blade and table, it will also make blades last longer, by preventing binding and heat buildup.

Most saws use a rocking arm system so the blade cuts in a bit of an arc, front to back. /Not enough to make a difference for most tasks, but there is some adjustment,

There are some good scroll saw forums for advice and tips.
