  • Stack Cutting

    Like most of you out there I like to stack cut because I can finish more than 1 at a time. I've tried many ways in the past to hold everything together. I've used screws, hammer and nails, staples and clamps. The best and easyest way I have found is to use a brad gun. It leaves a very small hole and is very easy to work with.

    Good idea. I’ll have to try that when I get to the point of stack cutting. 👍

      I use a pin nailer in the waste areas. The brad and pin nail guns are a wonderful thing.

          I had considered useing a hot glue gun but I like to be able to reuse some of the bigger waste pieces. Also when I use brads and they extend through the bottom piece I am always carefull to take a small hammer and tap the points back up flush with the bottom piece so I do not scratch the table.

            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.

              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.

              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.

              The fact that you only had approximately 6 hours on the saw tells me there was a thin oily film on the clamps from the manufacturing process.
              If problem continues you may have spread the clamps in the process of tighten blades. A common problem with OEM parts. This issue will disappear by replacing...
