Ok, I'll admit it. I've been frustrated with trying to make some Christmas ornaments. My biggest problem has been getting the **** roundness to the ornaments. It's a hummingbird ornamenet where the wings, beak, and tail stick out of a round boarder. Well last night I was scrolling in my sleep and realized that I'm following the line too closely. I can get much better results by following the line, but by leaving just a thin bit of waste between the blade and the line. Then I can just sand my way down to a more perfect roundness.
Now this won't help with the really narrow waste areas. However I can simply follow the lines as close as possible there and roundness be ****ed in those places. Artist discrecion I think it's called...Or is it Artist Perogitive?
Another thing I've had problems with coming out of a corner. I know if I pull a bit towards me the blade shouldn't cut much and will wait for me to push backwards a bit. But I find that the blade will still curve. Now is that a speed/pressure issue, or is that a blade issue. I have it as tight as I can get it. I'll try the tune up later, but don't want to take the time to take the saw appart.
Sorry for the long post.
