I am a Leak Detector. I work for American Leak Detection. We find concealed leaks in pools and spas, under slabs and walls, gas leaks, sewer leaks and so on. Been in the plumbing biz for 35 years! Sounds like a krappy job don't it?

Zohar, I don't have the map here, and the only picture I have is the one from our woodworkers club site. I will try to see if I can enlarge it, but it will have to be tomorrow as the club meets tonight.

Hey Tom, what kind of things will you be cutting?

Hey Zohar, That is an excellent version! I made one about five years ago or whenever the pattern came out. I used maple for the states and stained each state with bright colors. I never collected all the quarters for it.

That sounds fine Charlie. If we as a group can help people in need, that would be a wonderful thing!

I agree with you jimbo. I always sand my stock to finish grit, usually 220 grit, before I scroll it. then when I'm done scrolling I touch up with 220 grit to get the fuzzies.

Sheila, I tried to use them this last weekend, the operative word here is tried! I have never used any other spiral blades so I have nothing to compare them to, but I just could not control them. What I did cut left a very rough cut out. So I went back to flat blades.
