    Tips wanted

    You got some great advise, Martin. One more thing is that you have good speed is not the blade will grab the wood. Good luck. FD Mike

    Thanks for all the help. I should clarify the shipping charge. The shipping for the US and Canada is $ 3.00. For all other countries the minimum is $ 3.00. It depends on the weight if it would be more to the other countries. You always could email me and I would be happy to give you the postage...

    fretwork cutting veering toward the right

    Chris, once again. The blades are not stamped. I have met Patrick many times. We lost a great teacher and his books still sell well. He would have loved to had visit one.

    fretwork cutting veering toward the right

    Most blades have a burr and will cut to the right. You have to move the wood some degree to the right to stay on the line. This is for the operator to do. Chris I do not know if you ever went to visit a company who makes blades. I went to two companies in Germany. One who makes my blades and one...

    fretwork cutting veering toward the right

    First I want to say, that no blades are stamped, they are milled. Check this: http://www.mikesworkshop.com/How%20blades%20made.htm Once in awhile there can be some bad spots in the wire and the person who stands my the milling machine has no idea about this. Most blades have a burr and will...

    Is this safe?

    Splintez, I seen on other forums with the same question and the responses were all NO. It will not work. I would not buy it, there are better saws on different sites for-sale. FD Mike

    Some advice please....

    Hi James, The easiest way to see if the blade is square to the table is to take a piece of wood, about 20mm thick. Cut about 1 mm into the wood. Take it in and try to fit it in the back of the blade. If it fits, the blade is square to the table. The problem might be that you are pushing too hard...

    Diamond Scroll Saw Blade

    Paul, I can't help you to find the blades in the UK. Remember that they use a drip tank with water to keep the blade cool. FD Mike

    Best Scroll Saw

    Gill, did you talk to any who has one or was able to try one.I talked to some in Germany and they cant tell me nothing about that saw. I hate to use one hand to turn the blade and one to move the wood, FD Mike

    Best Scroll Saw

    The Eclipse, made by Ernie Mellon in the US is the top of saws. I have many customers who bought one and just love it. It is also the most expensive saw you can buy but if you have the money, why not. FD Mike

    Import taxes

    Like Steve is saying, it depends how heavy the order is. If it is over 3.6 ounces and thicker as 1/4" it has to go through customes. Orders up to 12 dozen will not have to go through customs. I have many satisfied custumers in the UK. Mike
