Good evening all.
As a struggling self taught scroll sawer, has anyone got any advice on blade tension. I believe the blade should ping like a violin but alas i don't play the violin that is guesswork. I think i vary between too slack which doesn't follow the lines and too tight which just breaks blades especially as i probably feed too fast(operator error). Hoping to take on a new project this weekend if possible & have been advised to find flying dutchman blades. Thanks to all for previous advice but any info welcome.
Regards Margin
