Looks excellent to me, but I can see what Don means about the bridges on the steering wheel.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Cutting at higher speeds
« on: January 06, 2013, 06:31:56 am »
I find that I get much smoother cuts at high speeds on the saw, just because you have your speed control cranked up doesn't mean you have to cut faster, you are still in control of the feed rate, on long straight cuts I increase the feed rate then slow the feed rate down for curves and more delecate work.
The saws motor and linkages shouldn't come to any harm as it is designed to be used at the full range of speeds available from the speed controller.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: scroll sawing is tough!!
« on: January 06, 2013, 06:25:20 am »
Dixie, Yes it will get better, and you will be surprised how quickly your cutting will improve. The advice given already is excellent advice, the only thing I will add is that when your new Flying Dutchman blades arrive you will notice an immediate improvement in your cutting. I used cheap and nasty blades that came with my first saw (it came with a selection of 200various sized blades). At the time I wasn't in the forum and I was under the impression that all blades were the same whichever make you use. when I joined the forum and was given very similar advice as you have been given and was also recommended the FD blades. I ordered the blades from Mikesworkshop and the difference in my cutting was immediate, it improved by 100% instantly, I found FD blades allowed me to follow a line very easily and my cutting was so much smoother as I didnt need to go back and recut where I had drifted off the line. Apart from that as the others say, it is just a matter of practice practice and more practice. Hope this helps you.
