No no a few packs of that packet came with the saw didn’t use any
As they were a bit discoloured
Should have worded it a bit better
I will use Olson No5 until I get a bit more proficient
Sorry for the mixup
I will loosen the knurled thumbscrew to 1mm above the top clamp
The rubber ring is still in its place
Don’t see a way to loosen the bottom clamp
Try and find my feeler gauges now
Many thanks for the info
Yes cuts it fine at the moment can only do rounded 90degree turns
Not got the confidence or experience to turn the workpiece quick
Have tried it but still get an awful fright when the blade breaks
The ply is laser cut A4 from amazon
I will do as you suggest with the tension then
Let you hear it again
Is there a certain way that the reverse tooth blade fits
Or just teeth pointing down
Snapped three NO5 blades sawing 6mm birch-ply
Blade doesn’t pull out the clamp it actually snaps
Certainly not pushing to hard
Getting a good tone of the blade when tension is set
But is it the right tone
Watched a video on YouTube
Lady using the scroll saw
Said that she always wipes the table with grease proof paper
Before she starts scrolling what would be the reason behind this
