has anyone used Emery Boards in their scrollsaw?

Never used those.. but when I first started scroll sawing back in 06' I bought some scroll sanders.. they was basically a emery cloth with flat plastic ends that would fit into the blade clamps of my old dremel 1800 scroll saw clamps.. that said... I never did use them all up.. and one time I needed to sand something and was going to use them in my DeWalt.. but the clamps on my DW 788 wasn't spread apart enough for those plastic ends to fit.. Seems like I did try to use like a fingernail file ( emery board ) in my saw once too and it wouldn't fit

I use them frequently.  I like that there is two grits on the same board and I can use a pair of heavy shears to trim them to fit what I need if the board is too large out of the package.

I used some of the sanding strips with my old Hitachi saw, but like said above, they don't work with a DeWalt.

I frequently use emery boards for sanding fuzzies off of tiny wood projects cut on my scroll saw, but I don't put them in the saw. I've also been known to trim their width in order to get into small areas. They have proven to be quite handy, but they don't last very long.

I do the same, cut along the length so I can get into the tight areas. It is a pain in the neck to clean the fuzzies with that. It is better to use the correct blades which leave very little fuzz.

Good Luck
