I guess this has probably been posted somewhere before, but here goes ...

Got a machine that only takes pinned blades?

Try this tip to expand your horizon whilst you save for a Hegner. :-D

amazing what it says on bottles of Vodka 9-) lol

 

[NazNomad]

:lol: :lol: Probably means ''Do not operate a scrollsaw after using this product''.

 

[NazNomad]

Пожалуйста!, Brian.

 

[Claymore]

it actually means "Open other end" lol

I don't think any of my non-pinned blades have holes in them

 

[NazNomad]

They won't, it's merely for using pinned blades through a smaller entry hole.

 

[Aggrajag]

Ahhh, You mean I break the original pin out and then re-use the same hole. I hadn't deduced that from the image. Hmmm, it's an option if I ever decide to use my sh*tty Einhell blades again

Not a bad idea, but I would recommend caution, if the safety pin breaks under stress while in use, an eye could be damaged. I know all manufacturers tell us to always wear eye protection but I for one never do when using my scroll saw. I wear glasses and use a large magnifying glass so I think the risk is acceptable but I wouldn't like to try this method without eye protection

I suppose you could always use the safety pin on the bottom end of the blade, if you were concerned about it breaking.

That's a great tip, thanks.

I'm always breaking one pin on mine.
