Welcome Jim  :!: Fairly new myself, started this past December.. You will find this Community invaluable, as I have.. You have questions - these folks have the answers !!

 

I can't speak to the saw but blades, word of advice.. DO NOT BUY blades at the big box stores.. They will aggravate you.. As Larry mentioned, Wooden Teddy Bear has a great selection.. Personally, I like the FD (Flying Dutchmen) blades.. I "think" many of the folks here also use FD blades (either reverse, ultra-reverse, spirals, etc..)

 

Most important, HAVE FUN scrolling !! Post some of your work when you have it done too.. We'll keep you honest  :thumbs:  :cool:

I'm just getting started in scroll saw work with a Delta 40-694 on order.  I hope that was a good choice for a first saw.  I'll be looking for blade recommendations and patterns so I can get some practice in.

 

Thanks all for being here,

 

Jim

Welcome! 

     I like to mention to new scrollers that there are many different ways to use a scroll saw.  Most folks do mainly fretwork.  I do not.  Some of the other projects done using a scroll saw include: Lettering, compound cutting, bowl and basket making, inlay, toy making, intarsia, segmentation, puzzles, and even making wooden flowers and vases.  All are fun.

Jim,

   We are happy to have you on board and I hope you drop in frequently because we have a lot to offer here in The Village. Take time to really explore and if you are experiencing any difficulties just mention you could use some help and believe me, help you will get. Hope to see you often and post some on your work here too

 

Dick
