Swan Sawyer Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 Hi, thanks for letting me into this community. I have been scrolling since summer 2016. I transfer public domain images directly to baltic birch plywood and cut them up into jigsaw puzzles. One difficulty I am having is chipping on the image side. I am using 4B baltic birch from Robert Bury in Montreal and using #2/0 .008 .027 23 8 DOUBLE TOOTH REV (DT/R) blades from Saw Bird. I want to sell my puzzles. Any advice is much appreciated. Cheers! amazingkevin and lawson56 2 Quote

Scrappile Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 Welcome to the forum. Like the man said those are very nice puzzles. I cannot answer you question, I do not make puzzles, but there are some very proficient puzzle makers it the neighborhood here. They hopefully will chime in. Quote

Denny Knappen Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 Welcome to the forum from TN. I don't do puzzles either, so I can't help with the question. Quote

tuner Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 WELCOME, I'm new myself to village also not a puzzle man but but maybe I can give you something to think about. When I started I got hooked on one blade maker, there not all the same , hopefully someone may be able to help. That looks like real nice work Quote
dgman Posted February 16, 2017 Report Posted February 16, 2017 Hi Clara, welcome the village! One thing to consider is the reverse tooth blades. Make sure the bottom reverse teeth are not reaching the top of the board. That will cause The chipping. I would switch to skip tooth blade, no reverse teeth. How do you transfer the image directly to the board? Quote

Cheers! i think the double tooth reverse blades your using is the culprit.I use Flying Dutchman reverse tooth blade exclusively blades and have not had that problem.Forget about double tooth blades for puzzles.

lawson56 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Posted February 17, 2017 A BIG Howdy from Southern Tenn.Beautiful Work I agree with my Fellow Villagers,I think it's your blades,There are blade for puzzle work.I know FD makes the.I use some very thin blades in my work,I cut 1/4 Luan. And on occasion I have splinters,I Hope we have been some help to you.Welcome to The Village. Quote
Swan Sawyer Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Thank you, all, for the warm welcome. And thanks for all the suggestions. I believe I discovered the problem with the chipping. I think I inadvertently used some inferior plywood for this last project. I was, in fact, using the FD puzzle blades from Lesley's Patterns. Both blades work equally well when using good plywood. I do prefer the reverse blade for the smoother backside it leaves. I guess experimentation is the only way to find what works best for each of us.@dgman, I transfer the images with the technique outlined in this video, something everyone may find useful for various projects. Best! Edited February 18, 2017 by Swan Sawyer Quote
