I've been participating in a discussion about a propensity for some scrollsaw blades to bend backwards in the top retaining clamp. It's certainly a problem I've encountered and when I raised it with Hegner UK I received this email:
What are other peoples experiences and can anyone suggest how to avoid this problem? Incidentally, I've always tried to align my blades centrally but to no avail - the problem persists.

- Dear Gill
The bending of the blade ends is caused by not placing them exactly in the centre of the "V" of the blade clamp. I also have the problem a lot but have come to the conclusion that most of the time speed is preferable over accuracy in this matter as it never seems to effect the accuracy of my work.
Best regards,
Roger Buse
