  • I see something new

    Hi guys I seen something new today well new to me. This guy was scroll cutting a pattern out on 3/8 baltic birch the lone wolf pattern I have seen all over the internet. What was new to me or different was what he was using to do the cutting. He was using a RotoZip type spiral saw. he was cutting fast and it came out nice. Well just something to think about..

    For less detailed work I guess it works. I doubt you'll find a JZ pattern being cut with a rotory tool.

        I tried that years ago...tried to speed things up on a fretwork pattern I was doing and it was not good. The project was 1/2" walnut, the rotozip burned the wood and I couldn't sand it out.

          I too use hot glue around the edges. I typically size my blanks, so as to not have large waste areas, but there isn't anything about the hot glue that would prevent me from re-using them....

To cut your collapsible basket you just tilt your saw table to the left 4 to 5 degrees (for the basket only). For those of you that would like to find patterns check out this...

          Nice work Eugene.

          You know the sad part about our scroll saw work is where it ends up. I was just a Goodwill and saw a collapsible basket there with a price of only a few dollars.
