Some place I heard someone had cut out Christmas decorations from old CD's. Have any of you guys tried this and do you have any tips as to blade and speed.

I played around in the shop today and tried out suggestions on cutting the CD's. I was so surprised with the silver chipping off but found that if I put the clear package tape on the disk, both sides, the silver came off and left a clear cut figure. I think I am going to do some more experimenting and maybe cut out some figures, then spray paint the clear plastic figures and then paint the details with craft paint. I had the saw set for a slow speed and didn't have any problems with the plastic breaking or chipping or melting back together and used a #5 blade.

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationby HobbyhorseTwo corrections to the above: it was 1950 and the saw was an Eclipse brand.

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationby HobbyhorseIn 1954 I had one similar to that which had a spring return in the top arm for blade tension. It was set up on a bench for me by my father and had a treadle system to run it ..... I have no memory of the brand of machine.

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationGot it. Your picture was rather dark and could not see the construction.
I still don't think it was mass-produced though....-
