Cutting at an angle.

07-10-2012, 01:33 PM

Hi, I've been messing around with the scroll saw this summer. So far I've made a chess set and a Star Trek tricorder. I want to make a new tricorder that looks better and I have a question about cutting at a specific angle.

Here's the pattern:

Here's the piece: Example piece

Now the triangle part at top gets cut out and a flatter piece glued in. My problem is getting the angle from the bottom of the piece to the flat spot on top. Sorry if I don't make sense because it's kind of hard to describe.

I've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.

Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

thanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach.

Very impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.
