Re: spiral blades ,intarsia and the ss jig saw
Thanks Russ
I seen SS has pin less spiral blades listed , also some one suggested pegas blades so I wasn't sure if they was any difference . I have straight cut blades from olson but the spiral cut blades seem to be the in thing for intarsia .

Re: spiral blades ,intarsia and the ss jig saw
The new scroll saw blades came yesterday { flying Dutchman } assortment pack ,and today I installed one in the SS jigsaw just to see what was what, they cut great and a think you all for the tips, the SS saw seems to do ok on cutting .
I have been doing some research on a stand alone scroll saw so we can sit down ,just haven't decided yet on what one .
I dont really have the extra room but it is what it is.

Keep your eye out locally for a SS stand alone. Here one of the local TV stations has a huge classified listing. We got Mary's Teal stand alone SS a number of years ago for $150. It is in near new condition. There have been a few of them over the years. Most recently one for $250 that looked like it was in very good condition. Requires patience but worth it in the end.Hobbyman2 wrote:The new scroll saw blades came yesterday { flying Dutchman } assortment pack ,and today I installed one in the SS jigsaw just to see what was what, they cut great and a think you all for the tips, the SS saw seems to do ok on cutting .

Cant seem to get the JET model out of my mind ,the options seem to offer a lot of creature comforts , I also like the idea of the SS and a stand alone power station as it would give me even more options with spt's. but I would lose variable speed .?
Bottom line is ,,well ,,, the bottom line lol ! I will keep a eye out for a good deal and thanks again for the tips .

The SS scroll saw on a power station is variable speed. The SS stand alone IS also variable speed. What is the problem?

Re: spiral blades ,intarsia and the ss jig saw
I didnt know that about the stand alone , I assumed it was a belt and pulley adjustment for speed ? not quite the same as some of the others but not a deal breaker .

A power STAND has fixed belts.
A power STATION has a variable speed reeves drive with a less broad range than a Mark 5/V. It also mounts other SPT's.

Yes the SS stand alone is variable speer. It has a speed adjustment knob on the on/off control box.Hobbyman2 wrote:I didnt know that about the stand alone , I assumed it was a belt and pulley adjustment for speed ? not quite the same as some of the others but not a deal breaker .

Re: spiral blades ,intarsia and the ss jig saw
Once again some good advise from this group. I will keep a eye out and my options open.
I have been looking on CL, ebay and FB for stuff in my area as well as checking garage sales and local auctions .
