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
