trumpet and 2 ornaments...7 Dec 2011

12-07-2011, 12:39 PM

Cold here today but so far I've managed to cut these three gifts for Christmas. Many more left to go but may have to wait for a warmer day.
These are cut from laminated hardwood flooring using a Seyco platinum no. 5 blade. The ornaments are about 4 inches, the trumpet about 10 inches long.
Used 2 1/2 blades so far but the results are worth it, at least to me.
Any comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Very well done.

That floor laminate is tough on blades due to the silica in them to make the laminate hardy.

Our Judges are some of the best woodworkers I have ever met. On occasion I get asked to explain what I look for in the scrolling categories. I point out all of the nuances. I can't be a judge as I have intarsia and scroll work entries.

Reply to Problem with thinner blades on Dewalt 788

There may have been some crud on the tips from manufacturing.
In the ~20 years of scrolling I never cleaned the ends of my blades until recently. Even with the Pegas clamps I was having some blade slippage, I now scuff the ends of my blades with some 220 grit paper End of problem.!...

Don’t over sand them as you will shorten their usable life. Only sand as needed. Another thing to do is clear your blades before installing. Blades are coated with oil to prevent rust. Wipe the ends with alcohol or lightly sand with 320 grit.
