General Scroll Saw Talk / Sanding

« on: June 01, 2010, 09:37:17 pm »

When sanding go through the grades and make sure the scratch marks are removed from the last grit, I have found for scroll work 220 is the highest grit I go depending on the timber, for turning up to 400 some go through to a 1000 for very fine work, for flat boards I finish with an ranom orbital sander and find 120 grit is fine as it leaves no sanding scratches.
What are your thoughts

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Sanding Pad Question

Hi Gary
When sanding a flat piece of wood ready for cutting I use anti slip cloth it can be bought from the $ shops and exelent, I use it with a belt sander as well as an orbital, it you are uses sand paper in you had to sand get some medium density foam and wrap the paper around that, for sandind edges I glue the paper on to a narrow piece of wood, I use worn sanding belts, hope this helps

Club night went off well it was a bring and tell [theme toys] I took 3 jigsaws and Steves frog [thanks Steve] mine toys were left till last so I got up and explained, I had a lot of interest and some good questions except for one $#&%#% that asked if they wre cut on a band saw, one of the jig saws was merlin and some of the pieces are very small, there is always one eh, most wanted to know what coloring agent I used and why and what I used on the plain wood ones, a few questioned me after the meeting on blade sizes and where do I buy my blades.
