Nice looking saw frame.
Interesting adjustment setup with the aluminium strips. I'm not sure I know what they do. The rear blade clamp must be free to slide to tighten the blade and the front one is held rigidly by the knob handle.

I'm sure you know any you're doing and it will work just fine.

That's an interesting approach to the bearings Jan. I hope they work for you. Alignment is everything, that's why I switched to the cheap self aligning Igus bearings. It is essential that this part of the chevalet is really free moving with no effort. As I said, I hope this works for you. :)

Saw blades

Today I got some different (jigsaw) saw blades.

But the intarsia pattern isn't yet there. Therefore, you have to be patient about my experiences with the chevalet. I first started with a new toys and joys plan.

A cautious start

I started with making a intarisa raccoon and tried some different saw blades.

The first blade I tried was the most expensive.
Slope Rectangle Parallel Font Pattern

As you can see this blades are called maketerie, the dutch word for marqueterie. The blades are very coarse. And it is hard to make curves with it.

The second blade I tried is the second most expensive.

It is very easy to make curves with this blades, almost to easy but the saw cut is very rough.

The cheapest I used I liked the most.

I probably saw the sharp corners still in the wrong way and have to do more practice. Do you think I can use saw blades skip 3 or maybe 2 for 8-10mm thick wood?

Thanks for watching and…..................you can make me happy with all sorts of comments.
