Finishing a piece of work.

[Hazelnuts]

Hi, I like many of the comments I have read am new to scroll sawing but enjoy it very much. I would like to ask anyone out there how they finish items that have small parts that are awkward to get at? is there anything on the market that will help me get the finish I want. I have tried sticking narrow strips of sandpaper to old blades but with very little success. Any comments would be very much appreciated, Regards Hazelnuts.

Hi Hazelnuts,
Have you tried Scroll saw sandpaper blades?

I haven't either.

Here's a thread about them too, which I'll read properly too, when I'm not needing to get back to work!

Hi RickG No I haven't but will give them a look. cheers. Just looked and they are pin less so won't fit

I've recently been through this idea. It's interesting that a couple of comments on Ax's website say they're not worth it and advise making your own. I've also tried the emery board approach but the sandpaper is just not up to it. My solution is to get some of these cheapy blades and araldite a strip of quality abrasive. Works very well.
