edbardet Posted June 4, 2014 #1 Posted June 4, 2014 Save your broken scroll saw blades and mount them upside down in the same handle you use for knives. That gives you a saw for confined spaces. The reverse mounting gives you better control.Ed mtaylor, dgbot, rtropp and 4 others 7
Modeler12 Posted June 10, 2014 #2 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Sorry, I know I am a bit slow. But can you repeat this with a picture? I think you are saying that to use the broken blade in the 'down cut' position, or reverse mounting gives you better control? The idea of using part of a broken blade as a small tool in an Exacto knife, for example, is neat. I will try that, but you still should go 'up and down' to get the benefit of the saw. So the finer the teeth, the better?

HIPEXEC Posted June 10, 2014 #3 Posted June 10, 2014 Sawing miniature wood is very tricky. We all have trouble with it. My stiff back saw that came with my miter box is best.
