i am retired and i decided to do something i have never done before in my retirement for a hobby only. woodworking. i have done some simple scrollsaw work and i love it. i have a delta variable speed scrollsaw. i was doing a sign with small printing on it. i almost had it finished and it cut a letter off. i was not able to stay in my shop. tooo much blue smoke. if you know what i mean. my guestion is---with tight curves and small letters, should i have run the saw at a slower spped or is full speed okay. i really don't know as i am new at this. i really would like advice from someone who knows. i don't know anyone who uses a scrollsaw. H.E.L.P> please  shadowsibe(george)

Welcome to the forum Shadowsibe. First question, what size blade are you using and what kind of wood and thickness are you using? Unless I'm cutting very thick and very hard wood, I never run my saw at full speed.
Please if you can, repost this question over in the general scroll saw forum where more folks can see and respond to your question.

Hello all.
Like Shadowsibe I have just retired and thought I would try scrollsawing.
I have been in the woodwork trade for 50years and used to do fretsawing
when I was  a young lad but have done none since.I bought a Hegner Multicut 2
from e-bay for ?50,it must be an old one because it's single speed and the
Multicut 2 on Hegners' site is variable but i'm not complaining just having
great fun.
Steve,thank you for a great site and very friendly and helpfull people.
Regards.
Terry.

Hi everyone!  My name is Ken and I am from the Tampa Bay area of Florida.  Brand new member here...just checking in and introducing myself.  As of today, I am the proud owner of a brand new PC 16" scroll saw (the one found at Loews).  I finally replaced my 15 year old Craftsman with this one.  I have done a few projects but still rank myself as a learning amateur!  I am glad to have found this community and I look forward to learning knew things and improving my skill from all the great folks here.  I'm looking forward to "meeting" everyone!
