heppnerguy Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Welcome to The Village. Since you are a sewer, you will probably find scrolling to be a lot like it. Be sure you don't use blades from the big box stores because they really do not sell the ones you need. If you are not sure about where to find the saw blades you need, just ask here. if you are going to be cutting thin ornaments, you will find that stack cutting will not only be quicker and more productive, but also a lot easier to cut them. Again, any questions, just ask. Don't be afraid to try stack cutting. come back here often and get to know the people here and how to get around this web sight. Be sure and check out the tutorials and the Village University. It is also free and has a lot of information for everyone. Hope to see you here often Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see you here often Dick heppnerguy Hi Dick, Thank you for your response, I do feel most welcome here. Since you brought it up, where or what brand of blades do you recommend? I just bought some blades from Home Depot yesterday and the only brand they had were Ryobi. I bought the multipack with 3 sizes, but didn't have time to try them out last nite. I appreciate your suggestion on stack cutting as well, I want to make things to sell, so anything to speed up some production is worth it. I seen where you can masking tape the wood together or also use double sided tape around the outside scrap edges I presume. Whats your favorite technique? Thanks for all the tips so far! Have a great day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
