Ask Steve a question. / sCROLL SAW DEFECTS OR MAINTENANCE ISSUES TO LOOK OUT FOR ?

« on: April 01, 2016, 05:56:27 pm »

Hey guys, Just gone and bought a cheep and nasty second hand scroll saw ! Never used one before and im finding it difficult to cut wood with the thing. Ive tightened the blade as far as the adjustment will go and it still wont cut darn it. Im wondering are there any issues such as play in bearings or bushes that can lead to problems. I suspect the blades are not the best as they look old and might be a little dull but im only guessing as i have no new ones to compare them against. Anyway Im going to have a look through the forum now for tips n tricks for the beginner. and order up some new blades. Im in the UK so any suggestions on sizes or makers to purchase from would be great or is just anything of e-bay alright ? Thanks for your help guys.
