Hi, and welcome. I havent sed the files, and I think once you gain some experience scrolling, you will find you really dont need flies to clean up your cuts. I would say save that money, and put it towards more blades, more scrolling wood, maybe a book or two, or finishing supplies. Its a great hobby, have fun with it! dale

Welcome Kayekey. This is a great place, and the people are great too. Have fun, and ask questions. When you see something you have some experience with, feel free to post an opinion.

Welcome Kayekey. Since I am a little late adding my greeting here, you have already gotten a couple replies on your question about files.

I hope you take some time to look through the galleries and add an album of your own.

Take care
