Travis Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 As far as I can tell, it takes 5" blades. so our standard scroll saw blades should work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyscroller Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Would that be pinned, straight or both types of blades ? sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I don't care if it takes pinned and NOW I am sure it takes straight. I may order today. My Delta is down and this may arrive before the parts for the Delta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I ordered it and will update how well I am able to use it. I see a future problem that has to be addressed. Two hands and a saw... need clamp down on scroll piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLarry Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Larry The first link shows photos of various "hold downs" for the fret saw. Second link shows fret saw in action with a simple holding system. https://www.google.com/search?q=haND+FRET+SAWING&safe=active&biw=1280&bih=587&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=4spwVK6YLcmXNvnzgtAI&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkmk0nCKPRE Maybe a little help.
