this is some great information. i was trying to figure the best way to accomplish the same thing, i was thinking grinding them off but punching out sounds like a better option.
thanks guys.

General Scroll Saw Talk / STRAIGHT PIN ADAPTER

« on: September 01, 2020, 10:23:16 am »

SO LAST WEEK I RECEIVED MY ADAPTER FOR STRAIGHT BLADES AND THE BOTTOM PIECE WAS A P.O.S. ANYWAY NOW I'M THINKING I CAN SHAVE THE PINS OFF THE TOP OF BLADE AND CONTINUING USING THE ORIGINAL BOTTOM PORTION AND HAVE THE TOP ADAPTER FOR THE STRAIGHT SECTION OF THE BLADE. IS THERE ANYTHING I MAY BE MISSING? THIS SHOULD ALLOW ME TO DO MORE INTRICATE WORK.

WELL HERE'S A LITTLE BACK ROUND ON MYSELF. I INHERITED SCROLL SAW FROM MY WIFE'S GRANDFATHER. WOW, HAS THAT CHANGED MY TIME IN THE GARAGE. I THOROUGHLY ENJOY THIS TYPE OF WORK, AS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HANDS ON PERSON. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF MAKING SOME "NICE" PIECES FOR FUNDRAISER AUCTIONS. ALSO SOLD SOME THINGS TO MAKE ENDS MEET WHEN I WAS LAYED OFF. I LOOK FORWARD TO ALL THE KNOWLEDGE HERE. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW IDEAS AND GREAT PATTERNS TO SHARE WITH OTHERS.
