| Registered User |  Scrolling I do intarsia work with a bandsaw, with success. I recently bought a Dewalt scrollsaw for intarsia. I don't have a lot of experience yet but I can't make a radius cut without getting a buldge in the middle of 3/4" mateial. What am I doing wrong? |

| Banned Supreme Forum King  | Bob n all, Do you use the angle-cutting method where you cut 2 pieces at one time? If so, what angle do you use on your bandsaw & what is the blade kerf? ..OOps... I was thinking of Marquetry... Intarsia is just cutting small pieces and gluing them together, right? What size blades you using? |

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | Hi Joe "What size blades you using?" I'm using all the ones I got from Mike's web site (see his link on the other post and below) I got a sample pack (Assortment Pack ) from him and I have been trying all them out great blades some will cut 3/4" walnut just like butter and no sanding needed, Mike knows is stuff about blades ."Intarsia is just cutting small pieces and gluing them together, right? " well yes and no, it's 3D wood art so to speak, here's link to have a look see.Here's a link to one I'm working on ▼ http://www.routerforums.com/introduc...-intarsia.html The Roberts site is where I got my plans and wonder wheel. Look see stuff ▼ Judy Gale Roberts Intarsia http://www.intarsia.com/ http://www.intarsia.com/Raccoon.html http://www.intarsia.com/WolfIntarsia.html It's great fun for me and it can be hard work also, it's like craving but a bit easyer just alot of sanding to get the 3D look.

| Marine Engineer Forum King  | Blade tension is the key. Stretch that puppy out until you think you've got it, then stretch it a little more. You may break a few blades at first, but you'll find the sweet spot. Also, Flying Dutchman blades are a great help in my humble opinion. You can find a supplier using your search engine or go to http://www.mikesworkshop.com/blades.htm Hope this helps,

| Forum Contributer Supreme Forum King | That's true Doug, that's what's neat about the DeWalt Dw788 it will put it to the max or to say #5 torq. and keep it at that when the blade gets a bit hot or a old one from using it all the time. http://www.mikesworkshop.com/DaveG.htm#Blade%20Tension Bj Quote:
