gator Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 okay my mind works funny so here's a question and a joke. question when scrolling a circle which direction do you go. i always go clock wise seems if i get off line its in the waste area to the right. which leads to this, do scrollers below the equator go the other way around?

Docupton Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Never really thought about it till you asked but I'm the same Gator, always go clockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I'm usually stationary when I scroll. But here's what I want to know, if you say you scroll clockwise, does that mean the wood is moving clockwise in relation to the blade or the blade is moving clockwise in relation to the wood?

gator Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 good point the wood i guess would be going counter clockwise. with wood between me and blade plow into circle turn wood closes to my belly counter clockwise. i can go both ways but usually mess up less with this path?

Travis Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I hold the board stationary and move my saw clockwise. gator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I go which ever way is the easiest for the piece I am cutting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickther Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 My blade goes both ways, Should I be worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retmsgt Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I move the piece counter-clockwise so the blade is cutting clockwise. I guess it depends on your "hand" preference...right handed or left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 I also go whichever way is easiest, pending on what cut I make. Edward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappy Scroller Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I go in the opposite way to the earths rotation, that way I scroll faster. Gary Big Mike, Clayton717, Travis and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ok so I guess I am the only one below the equator, and no I do not stand on my head to scroll. I have the blade going clockwise. Marg gator and Docupton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messman Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well what I do when ever I have to cut a circle I call the local squirrel into the shop and let it cut it for me. While it is cutting the circle I prep for some squirrel stew Big Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hey Marg, is clockwise south of the equator the same as clockwise up north? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
