ERBAUER 457MM SCROLL SAW ERB704SSW
9.5-15 15-28 30-48
BLADE SELECTION (Fig. 8)
This scroll saw accepts 5" (12.7 cm) length pin-end
blades, with a wide variety of blade thicknesses and
widths. The type of material and intricacies of
cutting operations will determine the number of
teeth required per inch. Always select the narrowest
blades for intricate (tight radius and curves) curve
cutting and the widest blades for straight and large
curve cutting operations. The following table
represents suggestions for various materials. When
purchasing blades, refer to the back of the package
for best use of blades on various materials. Use this
table as an example, but practice and your own
personal preference will be the best selection
method.
When choosing a blade, use very fine, narrow blades
to scroll cut in thin wood 1/4" (6 mm) thick or less.
Use wider blades for thicker materials, but this will
reduce the ability to cut tight curves.
NOTE: Thinner blades will have more
possibilities for blade deflection when cutting
angles are not perpendicular to the table.
BLADE CARE
To maximize the life of your scroll saw blades:
- Do not bend blades when installing.
- Always set proper blade tension.
- Use the right blades (See instructions on
replacement blade packaging for proper use.)
- Feed the workpiece correctly into the blade.
- Use thin blades for intricate cutting.
CAUTION! Any and all servicing should be
performed by a qualified service centre.
