Catastrophe averted

Recommended Posts

I was cutting out these ornaments this evening, stack of 5, 1/8" basswood, when I noticed that the stack had shifted ever so slightly. When I tried to feed the blade through the next pilot hole I couldn't because of the shift. My pilot holes in this were #65, .035"; so I used a #71 drill bit, .025" to get the hole realigned, then used three #65 drill bits to keep the whole thing aligned while I used hot glue to hold the silly thing together while I finished cutting.

Yea, it worked. 20241123_232548_113551.thumb.jpg.16672e97b98acfd13475dbb6b69fd742.jpg

I use double sided tape for stack cutting with no problems.  Just be sure the tape is on the waste area.  I have it on the website.  Here is a link:  Hand Held ATG Tape | Pegas scroll saw

I used Scotch tape instead of packing tape. The Scotch tape had more stretch. Lesson learned. 😅

Denny @Denny Knappen, the description is confusing.  What does "Hand Held" mean as applied to tape?  Ditto "Wound in Reverse"?  

Is this double-sided tape?

This is atg "tape" (adhesive transfer gun). I've used this extensively at work, 25+ years. It's an adhesive put on a slick backing, when you press the adhesive down you then lift the backing leaving only the thin layer of adhesive. Most versions of the tape are designed to be used in a dispenser called a tape gun. Some versions are designed to be used without a gun.

There are different levels of strength of adhesive; light, medium, high, and "oh my God, it's never going to move".

Looks like Wichita answered the question.  As a frame shop, we use the ATG every day.
