New CNC scroll saw system For the Pegas Saws

[rustynail]

Here is a video of a new CNC scroll saw that this guy is making.  He is utilizing a Pegas scroll saw for his CNC system. The video is kind of boring but it is interesting on what he is trying to accomplish.

He might need some advice on auto tool insertion and clamping torque.  How about backup techniques for blade turning.

I just can’t see this working as each and every blade cuts differently. It requires the user to compensate for the blades deficiencies. Not to mention different brands and different sizes of blades.

I didn't even click the link, but I'll say that if he breaks a blade then he just scraps the whole project.. My CNC's don't backtrack.. maybe some do..  I don't know everything about CNC's and haven't really run mine as much as I would like or thought I would... I know if you loose power or break a bit etc. you have to start at the beginning.. and sometimes doing that can ruin the project at hand.

I'll check the link out a little later.

He will have to come up with a way to do internal cuts, which calls for loosening the blade, drilling a hole in the right location, then inserting the blade and tensioning it.  If he can do that, it might come to be a standard item on all scroll saw.  Right now, all it is good for is drawing the pattern on the wood.
