.....
On with my question:
I just rebuilt a variable speed scroll saw. It now has plenty of power operating at a VERY slow speed.....Probably slower that one could move a jewelers saw!! The tension adjustment is working fine with the very fine wood blades.
NOW...... I would like to find a source for blades, possibly carbide? Maybe Bi-Metal?? Or....is it a carbide or diamond grit blade?? That will cut abrasive materials like soft stone, MOP, CF and G10. Other uses would be to cut curved liner slots in Ti. for folders and other curved shapes in Ti. that I can't mill.
I have seen pictures of people doing lapidary work using such a blade. They use them also for cutting stained glass and for doing inlay work in wood with MOP and abalone. I know many people cut Ti. with jewelers saw blades.
The metal cutting scroll saw blades last about 10 seconds on G10 and wont touch Ti.!!
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Neil

click on universal scroll saw blades, then scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will find blades for cutting ceramic tile. they are carbide grit saw blades. if you call lenox they will tell you were you can buy them.
 
Magnum,
I found Universal Jig Saw Blades. I didn't see Universal Scroll Saw Blades. I need Scroll Saw blades that are captured at both ends. Jig Saw blades have holes to be held at one end like a Sawzall blade.
Let me know if I missed something!! I Emailed them with my question so I should have an anwer soon.
Thanks,
Neil

yeah, it's in uninversal jig saw blades. scroll down to the bottom of that page and you'll find them.
 
Try Kingsley North. Ebersoles. Griegers.
Alpha Supply. These are all lapidary supply houses. Sorry i don't have the urls handy.I can't remember any scroll saw blsdes that would cut hard stuff. Most of the lapidary saws were more of a wire bandsaw type blade.
Take Care

TJ,
I spoke with several lapidary people and suppliers. The "wire" blades can be cut and used in a scroll saw. I need to be able to go through holes so for me a scroll saw is a must!!
I found several blades I'm going to try. I THINK I may have found a rather easy way to do some rather precision inlays

Dr. Lathe, Can I have a referral to your lapidary people? I am trying to find apple coral and can not. I heard it was available in any lapidary store, but the locals here obviously haven't heard the same thing.
 
Neil-

My father does quite a bit of scroll saw work and has the best saw on the market by RBIndustries. I'm pretty sure they have what you need, but I have to get ahold of him as ask. I'll get the info to you soon.

Nick,
I'm not that much into scroll saws! My mom still has my dads old saw! It's a Seyco?? It's supposed to be one of the best. It's rather large and I know it cost BIG $$$ about 5 years ago!! None of the metal cutting blades he had would touch titanium!!
