I recently purchased a Craftsman scroll saw and was trying to put in a small blade to cut thin pieces of carbon fiber.
I get the blade in and tighten the holder, but when I try to adjust the tension using the "1/8" rule the blade pops out of the lower blade holder. Is this normal for thin blades? Do I just have to adjust the tension carefully for thinner blades?
So far I really enjoy the saw; it doesn’t make a lot of vibration or noise and cuts very well. Just trying to get this thin blade in correctly and tensioned is very frustrating.
Oh and these are plain end blades.
