Hi Martin, glad to see you use suck rather than blow for the top of your work piece I will do the same when Father Christmas delivers my fretsaw on Thursday. I have suction rigged up for all my electric saws in my garage, I can't understand why the saws come with 'blow' as standard. Happy...

I agree with marcros, some of these pieces of wood can be lethal. My wife is giving me a fretsaw for Christmas but have to wait for Father Christmas to deliver it ! I am concerned about the blower on the saw it might keep the work piece clear but the dust goes straight up in the air, I am going...

Thanks for that John, I think I understand now Hmmmm! those oo blades must be as thin as a hair, I'll give them a miss until I become more skilled. that Smiley is still waving at me, I'm sure he's in trouble.

'just had a thought, Claymore, if I buy a couple of gross of these blades, I would become IMMORTAL!! that would be good.' As I'm new to this forum lark, can anyone tell me what a 'thread' is. the only thread I know is in my wife's sowing box. I do sometimes lose the thread of a conversation but...

I received my replacement scroll saw today from Axminster tools, have returned the Clarke to Machine Mart, they were ok about it. I said earlier that Axminster were giving me a packet of 72 mixed blades free of charge, they are Pegas Swiss made plus I was surprised to find 10 packets of Jet...

Crumbs! I didn't know the blades had such a short life, I have got a lot to learn haven't I. My fret saw blades lasted for years, that's probably because it spent most of its time hanging on the garage wall. Is that short life because they become blunt or just break? Yes, Martin, you do have to...

Hi Martin et' al' Yes it must seem daft to buy a similar one for £20 more, the adaptor you suggested would have been £7 with P&P plus the Jet takes both types of blades, plus they are giving me a life time supply of blades [hopefully] anyway its a nicer colour! As to the breaking of blades, I do...

Thank you all very much for the information you have given me. I have had a peek in the box and there isn't a converter in there. I have spoken to Axminster Tools & Machinery about the adaptor, Martin, but they can't be sure it would fit, although it looks like it would to me. The result is...

Hi My wife has bought me a Clarke scroll saw model css16v for Christmas so I haven't opened the box yet. it has pin head blades but I would probably want to use plain blades in the future, is it possible to make an adaptor to fit plain blades as I understand they are more versatile and thinner...
