In this article, I share a few tips with you that will hopefully make your scroll sawing experiences more enjoyable. Squaring the table

o

Before cutting, the table needs to be square. One way to do this is to cut into the wood and then move it around to the back of the blade to see if it lines up.

O Another method for squaring the table, and my preferred method, is to cut a tough square from the. wood you are using, and then turn it over to check the fit. Line up the bottom of the square with the top of the hole and the top of the square with the bottom of the hole. Everything should look even. If one area is tighter than another, the table is not cutting square. Adjust the table and make another cut You may have to repeat this process several times until it cuts square.

Once the table is square, adjust the pointer to line up with the "0" of the bevel gauge.
