Ask Steve a question. / cnc

« on: December 02, 2020, 10:41:22 am »

i, I don't post much but I read a lot of the posts. My question is, (and don't get me wrong, I love my scroll saw), I just purchased and x carve cnc for the (shall I say) more boring parts of projects. IE backer boards and some pieces. I love doing the intricate parts on the scroll saw. Is there a way to convert patterns to g code? I am using Fusion 360 and easel software. thanks.   Rick

General Scroll Saw Talk / Spoon rack

« on: March 07, 2019, 11:00:02 am »

This is a great pattern but if I might suggest, several smaller "rings" on the second part of the pattern for subsequent smaller racks to use the waste ( although I never have "waste") for additional racks.
 I am not computer savvy enough to make this happen.

Thanks for the info norm, I'll keep it in mind. I have yet to receive blades but what the heck, i'll give em a try.
 I have tried other blades, I literally have dozens of different kinds in the shop to try from all different makers.

Daveo, nope not the ur. these are just reversed on the last few teeth. my thought was their are just enough to reach the 1/4 inch material on the upstroke and cause fuzzies. I have ordered some superior puzzle blades and will see if this works better
 As I said in the beginning it is just a small annoyance but I wanted to find out,
Thanks    Rick

Thanks Spirit, I'll look into the puzzle blades. I wondered about that on the reverse blade since the material is only 1/4 inch.
 Now to figure out how to shrink wrap.... first try a disaster

General Scroll Saw Talk / Very small issue

« on: December 29, 2018, 01:28:05 pm »

I am doing some puzzles, exactly as Steve does down to packing tape both ways. I am using F/D 2/0 reverse blades on my hawk.
The issue is that I am getting small (very) fuzzys on the picture side. up to this point I am using postcards for my pictures and this is just a small annoyance but takes a while to clear up.  Any suggestions?

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Blade Change RBI Hawk 226M

I have the 226 vs and all you do is bottom blade holder slides out towards you from the holder with the two plastic tines. after taking the top holder loose it comes out easy.
