Cutting circles

[Peter907]

I just received some #8 and #0 spiral blades. Not tried the #0 yet, but the #8 did a very quick and clean job cutting this little candlestick from 38mmx38mm stock. My #2 took much longer to cut through 38mm stock for the squiggly thing which I will make into a small table lamp. I chamfered the corners which are now internal so I have a hole to fit the wires through. Just needs a bit of filling and sanding when the glue is fully dried. Had great fun doing these compound scrolls. The squiggly thing was a modified sine wave I created in Desmos graphing app and printed out.

Great to read this! It is always some trial and error but this shows that spiral blades can be very handy. But there is al lot more cleaning op..

Thanks, what do you guys use for sanding stuff like this? I found some half inch wide scroll sanders which fit in place of a scroll saw blade, but they are a ridiculous price and wouldn't arrive for 3 weeks!

I am still looking for those sandbelts but here in Holland i can only find pinless thingy's.
And pinless would be great but they are way to thick to fit in my Hegner bladeclamps.
Soon i will glue some sanding paper to a pinned blade.. see if it works.
