heppnerguy Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Welcome Chris, Glad to have you on board, (as they say in the States). If you are truly a beginner then I would suggest that you start with simple patterns and slowly challenge yourself with more difficult ones. Here is a little tip that works for me. When I am cutting a pattern in thin wood like 1/8 and 1/4, I have found that the blade sometimes wants to cut where I really don't, and the smaller blades are more apt to wonder some, also they tend to sometimes work loose on the upper blade clamp, (unless you have pinned blades), this usually is evident by the saw getting a little louder during the cuts. Then they break. I usually try to stack cut or use a 1/2 inch scrap taped on all out edges. This gives me a 3/4 inch piece to cut and then I can use a bigger blade like a #3 or #5, it is way easier to cut and the blade is stiffer so it does not wonder as I cut. That is just me, maybe others here will disagree. All I know, is it works for me, I hope you come back here often so that we can all get to know you better and you us. We are like family here, so feel comfortable to agree or disagree and know we are here to help each other. heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
