This video is about scroll saw blades, I made this animated video using Googles Sketchup drawing program.

Just finished making adjustments and leveling the table and doing it the hard way.  I will definitely keep this in mind in the future.

thanks Bob i just got my first scroll saw and your videos for beginners have helped me alot thanks again

I do not know how to do this. Watching this now. I just picked up a used scrollsaw.

this is a old video and perhaps scroll saws have changed the way the blade is clamped. The clamps now allow the blade to pivot slightly due to the end having a movable tip.

Thumbs up buddy, thank you, Sir.

Great Video, I teach Scroll Saw to eighth graders and this is part of the issue they have when loading. I call it hockey sticking the blade. I stress that the blade loaded in straight will make your cutting smoother (less chatter) and also prolong your blade life. Keep up your GREAT work. Thanks again!

I am a 62 year old wife, mother and grandmother and just taking up woodworking. Not big time but making Christmas decorations for kids to decorate and few other things. So these kinds of video's are perfect for beginners like me. So thanks and will be watching more. I just broke my first blade so this was very helpful

That was good but you should have also mentioned which way the teeth should go.

A five minute fix as per your instructions and it worked.  Thank you.

thank you , good video . I was a beginner , I would like to try to make it but I am still confused how the working principle of this tool and how to move it ?. may I learned it from you from the beginning to the tool can be used and may I share their knowledge ? sorry if my language is no harm I can not speak English fluently

Thank you so much for this video.  I recently became interested in Scroll Saw woodworking.  I'm in the research phase and have looked at a ton of videos on line, purchased a scroll saw and have chosen a few patterns that I like.  I know almost nothing about scroll sawing and I believe I'm ready to put the wood to the scroll saw.  This very basic information is what I have been looking for.  It is easy to understand for a beginner and I believe will  prevent problems that may have caused me to give up my pursuit.  My husband has been supportive of my new hobby and bought the saw for me.  I am also looking for patterns that would appeal to women, which are hard to find.  Again thank you for thinking of us beginners.

Great video..have a question about my scroll saw sku#240-2017 can I be able to modify the blade from a pin to a universal blade...any ideas let me know...I thank you for your time and wisdom...

This video was a bug help. I decided to play around with the husbands toys while he was at work, broke the blade. So i found more, but wasn't sure if there was a certain way the blade needs to be. Straight. Makes perfect sense! Lol Thanks!

I'm glade you made this because I just got a scroll saw and it had no instructions. I'm looking forward to trying it out and if I like ill invest a little more and get a good quality one.

The problem I have with installing my blades is that I don't know how much blade should go into the bottom holder and how much into the top holder. I know common sense says to make it equal and that is what I try to do. But I cant see very well through the tiny hole in on the table to see
how much  I am putting into the bottom so I wind up loosing it and re-adjusting the blade up and down until there is equal amounts in top and bottom. This is time consuming. Is there an easier way?  Thanks for your great videos!

Bob, I have a beautiful heavy-duty, vintage Rockwell Delta 40-406 scroll saw. The lower blade clamp/chuck has a plain flat jaw and one V-jaw. I can't get it to hold very fine blades because they slip through the V. Am I using blades that are too thin for this type of saw? Please PM me so we can discuss off this video comment section.

Hi , thanks for an excellent video on an important topic. I am glad i came across this because I'm having a problem with my Dewalt  saw. My problem is similar to what you have shown here but on my saw the lower part of the blade is back even when upper and lower parts of the blade are against the blocks as you suggest. I know on the Excalibur this can be corrected with the motor adjustment . But I don't know how to correct the problem on the Dewalt. Do you have any suggestions?

First blade change,now scroll saw just turns on and no motion,,blade broke on 3/8 in walnut straight cut. 30 min into project.
