Hi Tyrone
I have some spiral blades somewhere, I'll dig them out and get back to you on what's what.
Have a great day,
Heather

Thanks for the advice guys, your expertise and helpfulness is appreciated.  I have also discovered that one of the retaining bits on the rear tensioner is very badly worn so shall be replacing that too.

General Scroll Saw Talk / blades breaking in clamp and jumping out of the clamp

« on: June 25, 2016, 10:33:14 am »

Good afternoon. 
I have started to experience multiple incidents of blades jumping out of the lower clamp and more frequent incidents of breaking blades.

I use an old Hegner and cut 9mm thick MDF. I use Pebeco blades. I make jigsaw puzzles.

I have been doing this for about 5 years with little problem but just recently, jumping blades and breaking blades have got irritatingly frequent - such as 4 times within a couple of hours.

It's driving me nuts!

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you, have a great weekend

Heather
