Scroll saws have a thin blade that allows you to cut intricate curves and corners. For advanced users, this means inlay work, musical instruments, dovetail joints and other types of joinery.
How tight should a scroll saw blade be?
IF you can move the scroll saw blade with your fingers after installation and tensioning, the blade should be re-tensioned. When properly tensioned, the scroll saw blade should resist any movement when gently twisted or pushed with your fingers. A word of caution at this point is wise.
