Anyone else in this group own this saw?

Anyone wlsw in this group own this saw?

Ah ha - a typist after my own heart!

I am guessing that 'wlsw' is code for 'else'. So the secret message is "anyone else in this group own this saw?"
Do I win a prize?

My excuse is my fat fingers and being self taught. I hate being found out by my co-workers when I type 'live' on a big screen and all can see the real way 'sausage gets made' Type two letters, delete one, type a few more, delete a few more.... etc.

And sorry, I do not own this saw? Is this a scroll saw?

I have seen this saw. I think someone here is getting one, I don’t remember who. The incredible thing about it is the blades are very narrow. 1/4” is probably too big for the saw. I have “heard” that the problem is the blades are so thin that they snap while trying to apply the appropriate tension and they are expensive. That is everything I know about it.

Yeah I got one of the saws I broke one blade already but I didn't have enough tension they are expensive blades tho I'll try more cutting today

I'll bet if yo can figure out the "secret sauce" Union Grove saw and knife (@Diane Dickens) might have or develop a solution?!?

Those are definitely some small blades. We do not carry anything that small or we would love to be of assistance. Here is a spec sheet of their blades I found. I may be wrong, but it seems you can only use their blades with their saws, at least for now.

Not sure if you have seen this article and accompanying video but these folks use the saw to create the dolphin puzzle and talk about their findings and experience with the saw. Best of luck and hopefully you get it sorted out.

Actually got to text Jeff Vollmer last night ( a puzzel box legend in my mind ) he clarified a lot for me now to wait for new blades

We do weld 1/4 bands but I have never seen any with those thicknesses, TPI mentioned on the chart. I'm going to ask James (welder we hired from Woodcraft Bands). He is very savvy and knows his saws and what works. Will get back to ya'll on what I find out.

Thank you I have a dealer friend in Tennessee that has the same prices. Klingspore where I bought the saw is about a dollar cheaper but they don't have any #9 #11 #12 blades in stock. If you want to use smaller blades you must purchase bearing guide specific to those blades. Sawman101 and Gene helped me set it up it cuts like nothing I've ever seen but blades are expensive. Union Grove saw and knife is going to try and repair my ignorance. They seem like great folks.
