General Scroll Saw Talk / how to fiinish puzzles (beginner questions)

« on: December 05, 2018, 12:03:17 am »

Hi  I am starting to make some woodimals and I am not sure how or when to put a finish on them. I am making them out of 3/4" hardwoods (mostly maple) I would like to sand them and put some kind of varnish on them. Should I  just put the finish on after the outside cuts are done before I actually cut out the puzzle pieces or should I put the finish on all areas after the puzzle pieces are cut out? I am using a #2 pegas blade for the inside cuts so they fit very snugly. I am afraid they will not fit if I put a stain and varnish finish on them. Also should I just be sanding the outside edges?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: where to buy a part

Thank You for all your help. Yes it is new. I live in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada. I bought it off Amazon as no one seems to sell these here. I did look on the king Canada website and tried to find a dealer in my area. There is one store that has King Canada tools but they don't carry the scroll saw. I am going to call back today and talk to the manager and see if the part can be ordered from them anyway. Right now I am using a screw but I find the screw heads seem to strip after a short time because I have to tighten it so much to keep the keep the blades in. I will check out those other websites suggested as well. Thank You.

General Scroll Saw Talk / where to buy a part

« on: September 13, 2018, 12:23:55 am »

Hello. I just bought a king Canada scroll saw and after watching a lot of you tube videos tried a few practice lines and thought I was ready to try making a project. I chose a simple project and after doing about 6 inside cuts I have broken the top  blade holder lock knob. I don't know how to get the piece that's still inside out and I cant find this part on line anywhere. The instruction manual provided a website which in turn said I needed to find a dealer or service center. There seems to be only one dealer in my area and they don't carry scroll saws or their parts. Does anyone have any idea where I can find this part? I cant do anything with my saw until I fix this. I was prepared for breaking blades but I am so disappointed that after an hour of use I broke a part I cant seem to get a replacement for.
