Scroll Saw Speed

Have the saw speed high, and the feed rate slow. 1.5” thick is pretty thick for most scroll saws, but it should work. I would also probably use a #7, but the #9 might be better. You can try a short cut with each one and see what works better. Typically I use the smallest blade that gets the job done for the best control and quality of cut.

Hi
I usually leave my Dewalt 788 set on the highest speed. I have found the trick is covering your pattern with clear packing tape, makes a HUGE difference! For some reason the tape lubricates the blade and pretty much eliminates burnt edges and extends blade life. Give it a try, it was a game changer for me!

PS I highly recomend Flying Dutchman blades!
