Being a beginner I'm working from trial and error, but one of my biggest frustrations when stack cutting christmas ornaments was from sawdust that would get caught in the tight cuts that I had made and then often burn and mar the wood. I wouldn't experience this type of thing when cutting a single ornament, only when cutting two together. I could never figure out the cause and cut most of the ornaments one at a time because of this. I was wondering if some of you experienced scroll sawers could shed some light on how to avoid this in the future.
I stacked 'em tightly using masking tape, which held the wood together well and I used mostly 5r blades. Was usually cutting oak, maple and birch.
Any help is appreciated.
