How Scroll Saw Blades Are Made There Are Three Ways We Manufacture Scroll Saw Blades lson has been a leading manufacturer of scroll saw blades for more than 80 years, offering a full Oline of superior quality blades to satisfy almost every scrolling application. Olson blades are for use with scroll/jig saw machines sold by Delta, DeWalt, Dremel, Skil, Rockwell, Pro-Tech, Powermatic, RB Industries, Hegner, Sakura, Shopsmith, Excalibur, Rexon, Ryobi, Sears Craftsman, and Makita. (virtually all domestic and imported scroll saws). They can also be used in hand held fret and jewelers saw frames. The Olson Saw Co. has introduced many innovative blades, including: PGT® (Precision Ground Tooth) Scroll Saw Blades in skip and new double tooth styles with reverse teeth are simply the finest scroll saw blades there are! Considered among experts as “the best blade available”, PGT® blades are made with an exclusive grinding process that forms teeth in hardened steel. The blades are double ground to ensure that every edge of the tooth (face, tip, and gullet) is as sharp as possible. Crown Tooth™ Blades are a recent edition to the line. They have a unique tooth design that cuts on both the up and down stroke. Because of this two-way cutting action, Crown Tooth blades allow for cutting with more control while leaving a smooth, splinter-free finish. Also, they can be turned over for cutting with a fresh set of teeth. They are also excellent for cutting many kinds of plastics. Reverse Skip Tooth Blades with special reverse teeth on the lower end of the blade for a smooth, splinter-free finish on the bottom surface. Olson is continually improving and expanding its blade selection. The additions to this catalog are: New “Thick Wood” Blades with hook teeth zip through hard and soft wood up to 2″ without burning! These remarkable blades cut fast — ideal for scrollers who stack cut designs on a production basis. New Flat End Spiral Blades in the two most popular sizes provide easier blade installation. New Univ. No. 3/0 Blades in Skip and Double Tooth for the tightest, thinnest kerf cuts! Absolutely the best blades for veneer and marquetry art. How Scroll Saw Blades Are Made There are three ways we manufacture scroll saw blades. Each method gives the blade certain features, advantages, and benefits. Ground blades have teeth that are formed in hardened steel with a stone grinding wheel. Olson’s unique grinding method produces the sharpest possible edge on all tooth surfaces. Because there is little to no material flow, ground blades cut straighter and with more precision. If you want near polished edges, a smooth, sand-free finish and a blade that lasts 3 to 4 times longer....these are the blades to use. They are worth every extra penny. Punched or notched blades have alternately set teeth to provide blade clearance during cutting. They provide a medium smooth finish and are generally wider, with the narrowest about .068″ wide across the teeth. Notched blades are made from pre-tempered (already hardened) steel and are available with plain or pinned ends and in 5″ or 6″ lengths. Milled blades have teeth formed by milling cutters. This method is similar to that for producing band saw blades. Because the milling process creates some material flow (in one direction only), a slight bur may develop. Industrial tolerances are strict – no more than .0015″ is allowed. When this happens, the tooling is removed and resharpened. Milled blades are tooth formed in soft steel and then heat treated to optimum hardness and ductility. Olson milled blades are available in a variety of tooth shapes: Skip, Reverse Skip, Double Tooth, Spiral, Metal Cutting, and Crown Tooth. These blades are economical and cover almost every need. Since they cannot be made with pinned ends, blade adapters or conversion kit (page 10) must be used with scroll saws that take pinned blades. ® July 1999 OLSON Scroll/Fret Saw Blades & Accessories Plain End Scroll/Fret Saw Blades •PGT® Precision Ground Tooth – Skip Tooth and New Double Tooth .................. 1 • Crown ToothTM – Two Way Cutting Action ........................................................ 2 New! • Reverse Skip Tooth ...................................................................................... 3 • “Thick Wood” Hook Tooth.......................................................................... 3 • Skip Tooth .................................................................................................... 4 New! • Double Tooth & Metal Cutting .................................................................. 5 • Flat End Spiral & Spiral ................................................................................ 6 • Scroll Saw Blades - 5” and 6” Long ............................................................ 7 Pinned Scroll/Fret Saw Blades • Scroll and Fret - 5” Between Pins................................................................ 8 • Hobby Blades - 3” Between Pins ................................................................ 8 Display Merchandisers .............................................................................. 9 Scroll Saw Accessories • Lubricant Stick, Conversion Kit, Foot Switch, Blade Organizer ................ 10 New! • FretLite™ –A New Innovation for Fretwork.................................................................... 6 Saw Frames and Blades • Fret Saw Frames .......................................................................................... 10 • Jewelers, Junior Hack & Coping Saw Frames & Blades.............................. 11, 12 Zona® Tools • Razor, Dovetail, & Flush Cutting Saws and Miter Boxes............................ 13, 14 • Knives – Retractable and Hobby...................................................................................... 15 • Display Merchandiser & Sanding Tools.................................................................. 16 THE OLSON SAW COMPANY 16 Stony Hill Road, Bethel, CT 06801 USA • 203-792-8622 • Fax: 203-796-7861 OLSON® PGT® Scroll Saw Blades “The Best” Precision Ground Tooth Precision Ground Tooth (PGT®) Scroll Saw Blades are “The Best” blades available!

  • Hand Saws Hand Saws Have Evolved to fill Many Niches and Cutting Styles
    Source: https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/hand-tools/different-types-of-saws-and-their-uses/ Hand Saws Hand saws have evolved to fill many niches and cutting styles. Some saws are general purpose tools, such as the traditional hand saw, while others were designed for specific applications, such as the keyhole saw. No tool collection is complete without at least one of each of these, while practical craftsmen may only purchase the tools which fit their individual usage patterns, such as framing or trim. Back Saw A back saw is a relatively short saw with a narrow blade that is reinforced along the upper edge, giving it the name. Back saws are commonly used with miter boxes and in other applications which require a consistently fine, straight cut. Back saws may also be called miter saws or tenon saws, depending on saw design, intended use, and region. Bow Saw Another type of crosscut saw, the bow saw is more at home outdoors than inside. It uses a relatively long blade with numerous crosscut teeth designed to remove material while pushing and pulling. Bow saws are used for trimming trees, pruning, and cutting logs, but may be used for other rough cuts as well. Coping Saw With a thin, narrow blade, the coping saw is ideal for trim work, scrolling, and any other cutting which requires precision and intricate cuts. Coping saws can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, and can be found in the toolkits of everyone from carpenters and plumbers to toy and furniture makers. Crosscut Saw Designed specifically for rough cutting wood, a crosscut saw has a comparatively thick blade, with large, beveled teeth.

  • Common Saw Types
    Common Saw Types “Basic” Handsaw This is the most recognizable and the simplest to operate of all of saws. It works on wood of all types but is best for “soft” woods. Can be used for all types of cuts. Hack Saw This type of handsaw features a fine-toothed replaceable blade on a C-frame. Commonly used for cutting metals and plastics. Japanese Saws A saw type with a thinner blade with crosscut teeth on one side and rip teeth on the other. These saws are more often found in a fine woodworking or furniture making situation. Coping Saw Popular with artists, this simple but useful cutting tool consists of a thin replaceable blade in a C-shaped frame that uses interchangeable blades for both metal and wood. It can cut tight radiuses but perhaps its most useful feature is the ability to remove the blade and thread it through a drilled hole to cut inside profiles. Jigsaw/Reciprocating Saw If you’ve ever needed to cut a custom shape out of a sheet of plywood or even plastic, this is a great saw. If a perfectly straight line is what you need, then leave this tool on the shelf. Even in the hands of a skilled operator the blade will drift easily. Circular Saw This saw is the standard for making cross and rip cuts. If you van only have one powered saw, this is the one. When it is paired with a saw guide it can make surprisingly accurate cuts. Table Saw Ripping and beveling are the things the table saw does best.

  • Abrasive Wheel Grinder Abrasive Wheels and Grinding Machines Come in Many Styles, Sizes, and Designs
    Abrasive wheel grinder Abrasive wheels and grinding machines come in many styles, sizes, and designs. Both bench-style and pedestal (stand) grinders are commonly found in many industries. These grinders often have either two abrasive wheels, or one abrasive wheel and one special-purpose wheel such as a wire brush, buffing wheel, or sandstone wheel. These types of grinders normally come with the manufacturer’s safety guard covering most of the wheel, including the spindle end, nut, and flange DEWALT Industrial Tool Co. projection. These guards must be strong enough to withstand the effects of a bursting wheel. In addi- tion, a tool/work rest and transparent shields are often provided. Hazard Bench-style and pedestal grinders create special safety problems due to the potential of the abrasive wheel shattering; exposed rotating wheel, flange, and spindle end; and a naturally occurring nip point that is created by the tool/work rest. This is in addition to such concerns as flying fragments, sparks, air contaminants, etc. Cutting, polishing, and wire buffing wheels can create many of the same hazards. Grinding machines are powerful and are designed Exposed spindle end, flange, and nut. No tool/workrest. to operate at very high speeds. If a grinding wheel shatters while in use, the fragments can travel at more than 300 miles per hour. In addition, the wheels found on these machines (abrasive, polishing, wire, etc.) often rotate at several thousand rpms. The potential for serious injury from shooting fragments and the rotating wheel assemblies (including the flange, spindle end, and nut) is great. To ensure that grinding wheels are safely used in your work- place, know the hazards and how to control them.

Place the gouge in the third station of the sharpening guide and lay the side of the gouge against the left wall of the station (Figure 24-12). Rotate the gouge until its center touches the abrasive. With the machine "OFF" practice rotating the gouge, first clockwise from the center to the edge, and then counterclockwise from the center of the gouge to the edge. You should notice while rotating the gouge that in order to keep the bevel in contact with the abrasive, you must slide the gouge forward on the station as the bevel is ground from the center to each edge. After you get the feel of this grinding motion, be sure the gouge is not touching the abrasive and the speed dial is set to "Slow" (if you are using the Mark V), then turn on the machine. Gently slide the gouge against the wall of the station and into the moving abrasive. Start rotating the gouge, like you practiced. Repeat this several times. Grind away only enough metal to remove any damage to the cut-ting edge and create a slight burr. If the gouge is being ground for scraping, it is ready to use (the burr is sharp and scrapes very well). If the gouge is being ground for shearing or cutting, it will need to be honed to a razor sharp edge. Grinding the Parting Tool— The parting tool has a bevel ground on both the top and bottom edges.

  • Tuning Metal Bench Planes for the Rest of Us by Chris Black
    Tuning Metal Bench Planes for the Rest of Us By Chris Black It’s an unfortunate reality that most metal bench planes don’t work to their full potential right out of the box, and that a certain amount of tuning needs to be done by the end user. With apologies to all engineer/machinist woodworkers, I will endeavor to explain how to tune a metal bench plane without involving a machine shop or taking up vast amounts of your valuable woodworking time or money. I’ll leave out the small stuff like after market blades and accessories. This is by no means the final word on this subject, but maybe you can pick up a thing or two from my many years of making a living with these wonderful tools. If you find my methods rudimentary or crude, let me paraphrase Jim Krenov who said at some point the engineer and artisan must part ways. SHARPEN THE IRON If there’s a given principle in woodworking, it must be sharp tools. If your steel isn’t keen, not much happens. Learn to sharpen and everything else in woodworking will begin to fall into place. 80% of all plane problems can be fixed by getting your irons as sharp as possible. There’s a ton of information about sharpening out there, but stick with the basics and worry about other stuff like cambered edges and different bevel angles later. I recommend Thomas Lie-Nielsen’s book Complete Illustrated Guide to Sharpening (202299), Leonard Lee’s Complete Guide to Sharpening (200831), or Jim Kingshott’s video Sharpening the Professional Way (221508).

Detailed study of the manufacturing traces on the archaeological implements identified that both percussive (pecking) and abrasive techniques (sawing and grinding/polishing) were employed for the production of the axes. There is limited evidence, however, of how these processes may have been undertaken. The aim of this work was to build on previous research investigating sawing and polishing methods and the materials that may have been used in these tasks.

  • Saws from Festool. We Are Taking Over the Lead
    SAWING Product range Saws from Festool. We are taking over the lead. Perfection is our declared aim. If there will perhaps never be the perfect saw, we have already made history along the way: for example with the guide rail and the splinterguard for circu- lar saws, the triple saw blade guide for pendulum jigsaws or the twin column guide with two bearings for the KAPEX sliding compound mitre saws. We have learnt one thing from this: It is better to set standards than to following existing trends. Our engineers are the driving force behind all innovations. And, of course, our customers. Because only you can show us the way – to tools that are ergo- nomic in shape, lightweight, powerful and operate intuitively. In brief: to a sophisticated and well-thought out system that makes your work decisively easier. We shall remain true to this principle in the future: whether it be through the intensified use of our EC-TEC motor concept and the battery technology in the area of sawing or through further developments that meet our toughest demands. But for all the praise for our products receive here is constantly that little bit of self-criticism. An essential requirement for our aim: the construction of the perfect tool.
