Dave Monk Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I am wanting to make a board puzzle with a child's name. I would think the letters should not fit real tight so the letters are easy to put in. Do you have any recommendation how I should do this or what type of blade to use? Thanks, dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Cut the letters out with a 7 or 9 blade and sand edges so they drop in and attach a backing board so they can be tipped out, otherwise you will need to drill and peg every letter.

Thanks, dave If it's for children very young use a #12 blade so they don't struggle fitting the pieces in ,Maybe even bevel the bottoms of each piece so the basically fall right in Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Monk Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Beveling sounds like a good idea. Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 If you are used to cutting with a spiral blade, the kerf will already be larger than cutting with a straight blade. The spirals take a little practice though from my personal trials. Hopefully you are better with them than I am. God Bless!
