Popular Post FrankEV Posted September 14, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Me and my spiral bades got together again to produce this 11" x 14" Charles Hand Pattern having 260 holes. Both layers 5/32" thick solid core ply (top maple, bottom walnut stained a deep walnut). Pegas 2/0 spiral blades throught out except for a Pegas #5 MGT for the lower area perrimeter straight line edge cut hidden under frame. Panel finished with multiple coats of high gloss lacquar and installed loose fit in a store bought frame. Managed to do all the cutouts with only one minor break through between adjacent cuts. I actually found I could stay on the lines fairly well. Of course, there are really no smooth line cuts so who will know the difference anyway. Cutting time overall around 12 hours, but most of that time was used threading the blade through the holes. Of course I did use about 15 blades as the threading would oftern kink the blade and then, within one or two more cuts, "snap" another blade breaks.
