General Scroll Saw Talk / Small 2/0 blades twists

« on: October 23, 2019, 09:43:53 pm »

Hi all. So I am making scroll saw Christmas puzzles from Steve Goods pattern. I am using an FDUR 2/0 blade. When making the turns on the puzzle piece the blade twists. When I come out of the radius the blade is still twisted and making the new path distorted. I have tightened blade in the chuck more than I normally do. thinking that would help with the twisting, no luck. I decreased my feed rate but the blade still twists. What am I doing wrong. I would appreciate your all feedback.

Hi: I'm Steve (aka Pmariner) and hail from Connecticut. Got interested in scroll sawing a couple months ago, after seeing a couple of Steve Goods videos on You Tube, while researching on making a natural finish to apply to toy blocks I made for my grandchildren. I'm semi retired so have some time on my hands  While watching the videos, I thought hey scroll sawing looks a lot more interesting and fun than just cutting blocks out of poplar. I watched all of Steve Goods and several other videos from other craftsman and decided to purchase a DW788. I've since made a couple of Steve's patterns and some animal puzzles from Judy and Dave Peterson's book. I'm really enjoying myself and hope to gain some knowledge from all the folks on this forum.
