Popular Post AkJim Posted February 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted February 18, 2019 I’m not real happy with it but it was good practice. i was doing good on 1/4” plywood so I thought I would try real wood. When I was cutting the wheels the blade seemed to have a mind of its own, sometimes it followed the grain. It was made from 3/4” cabinet door. I’m not sure what kind of wood it is but it’s pretty hard frankorona, Scrolling Steve, MTCowpoke22 and 10 others 13 Quote
lawson56 Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 I had that trouble when I cut with thick wood.I now cut with 1/4 inch luan.You did a Fantastic job!! It turned out Great. Quote
Scrappile Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 Did you switch blades when you went to thicker wood? I've been scrolling for some time, and I still find that I am switching to different types of blades often, still experimenting. The point I am trying to make is, do not hesitate to try different blades for different things. Switching blade is easy and only take a little time. The hardest part if remembering which blade worked the best for what. I am not good at taking/keeping notes! You did a good job on this one, keep on, keep practicing.. Quote
AkJim Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Posted February 18, 2019 I did switch blades, most of it was done with a #7 Olson but the letters I went to a small blade. thanks for the comment Quote
Rockytime Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 You did a wonderful job of cutting a nice pattern. Quote
Falcon Posted February 18, 2019 Report Posted February 18, 2019 Be proud of that it turned out great! Quote
Gordster Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 You did good .I cut that one before and it is not an overly easy cut. 3/4 wood especially if hardwood takes a little getting used to. If your blade is wandering,possible too little tension or bigger blade is needed.keep up the good work. Quote

Dave Monk Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Look like it might be cherry. Looks good! It is always hard to cut 3/4" wood. Quote
