Tersa cutter block?

This may be a dumb question, but what exactly is a tersa cutter block?

It's a quick knife change planer block. I love mine

OK I see. So do these come as standard on planers or are they upgrades? Mine is an Axminster AW106PT. I'm not necessarily thinking of changing the blades, just wondering.

Whereabouts does it bolt to the scroll saw?

Scroll saw? It's a planer thicknesser.

Back to the point. So is Tersa another name for disposable blades then?

So why are you asking about it in the scroll saw forum?

Hi Martinka,
Sorry, I see now what you're getting at. I hadn't realised this was the scroll saw forum, I thought it was general machinery. Anyhow, I'm investigating how I could fit planer blades onto my rather too cheap scroll saw - it couldn't make things worse. I bought it for about £70 new a couple of Christmases ago to see what scroll sawing would be like but, to be honest, it's a bit grot and I don't think it really shows me what the craft is all about. I wonder if I could sell it on and buy a better one - (a Hegner would be nice) but it's not my main interest so I'm reluctant to commit scarce funds in that direction. I suppose I'll just struggle on with my cheapie for now (with or without pkaner blades attached) !!

Just being frivolous Marcros. At least I know what Tersa blades are now.
