Use for spiral blades. - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Pajaro · 07-07-2009, 06:51 PM

I use spiral blades as small rasp (FD 2 spirals). To clean up burn marks on inside cuts. I run the saw at a slow speed so as to not cut to deep. And very lightly touch the burnt spots. Works better than trying to sand them with a tiny peace of sand paper folded up small enough to fit in the frets. And last longer than the sandpaper strips made for scroll saws.

Just a tip that might work for others...

Have a great day

Hey Mike! You can also use them for cutting portraits, (or candle sticks from what I've heard).

ROFL,
