Popular Post Foxfold Posted July 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Well, I've had my new saw now for two weeks and I've used it every day almost. What I'm quite childishly happy with is that the 'insert' is still like new !!! That means that all the lessons about 'offering the wood to the blade' - 'let the blade cut the wood' - 'don't push' - 'relax and breathe', that all you good people have given me since I joined almost 2yrs ago must have actually sunk in !!! Just wanted to say a Huge Thank You to all of you. NC Scroller, wombatie, davidg and 7 others 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 It is interesting to look at many of the scroll saws that are pictured over the internet and see how chewed up that insert gets. I really don't get it. If the blade is set correctly and tensioned correctly, there is no reason for it to get eaten away. At least yours is replaceable.

Must admit Ray, I thought they were all replaceable no matter which saw. Just goes to show how much I know. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie E Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I admit I chew mine up a bit occasionally. I think it has to do with cutting thicker hardwood and being impatient. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McDonald Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 I have in nick in the throat of Dewalt from doing steep bevel cuts and not being patient. And it is not replaceable, just a hole in the table. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
