* Far more care is required when using finer blade |
|||
* But owing to the fine tooth pitch they'll give neater, tighter cuts on thinner materials |
|||
* Inductee takes the metal blade oil, coils it and returns to storage |
|||
* After using metal the tyres and dust traps should be cleaned more carefully than normal as metal swarf can easily deflect the course of a thinner wood blade |
|||
* Taking care throwing out the new blade, thinner blades are much more prone to twisting |
|||
* Inductees fit new blade |
|||
* Take care with the tension, it's easy to snap a thin blade. If you've not adjusted the tension gauges and they're out, now is a good time to do so |
|||
* Greater accuracy is required with setting the bearing guides |
|||
* Very thin blades are most often used for fine curved work, not usually against the fence or mitre gauge |
|||
* If you need to cut something even finer than these blades can do, consider the laser or scroll saw. |
|||
* <Demonstrate thin material free-hand cuts, then inductees practice> |
|||
* Switching back to ripping blade. |
