Cutting Small/Difficult Parts on the Scroll Saw:
Every once in a while you may need to cut a very small piece of wood.These can be difficult to control so here is a suggestion. Use my Compound cutting Jig to hold the small piece. This will give you all the control you need.
The Jig is easy to build and worth having around especially if you do compound cutting.
This piece is about 1 X 1.5. I could probably hold it for the cut but why not get a little peace of mind and use the clamp.
Any piece at least 1/4" thick usually holds pretty well. If you want to add a little better grip you can glue sand paper inside the jaws.
You will not has as good of visibility so you may need to look over the clamp as to turn the piece. You will not generally be making long cuts this was so it's not much of a problem.
The small animal cut was cut with good control
Another cut I have made with this jig in the past was cutting a dowel rods interior.
The jig holds the entry hole 90 degrees to the table and makes the cut easy. You are probably not going to use this cut everyday but it may give you ideas for other hard to cut pieces.
A few years ago I cut a customized key fob from a 3/4" diameter dowel using this technique. I cut the name using stencil letters. The jig made it much easier.

Folks, this is one of the 3D printers I own. I can highly recommend this printer to anyone who wants to get into the home manufacturing of parts with a 3D printer. I have used this machine a lot and it has done a great job for me.
I have had to email technical service twice. They are located in China but they respond very fast. They are also extremely customer centered and helpful. When I needed a part I expected it would take weeks to arrive from China. Four days and it was at my door step.
It really is a nice machine from a good company. There is a learning curve to this type of technology so expect to spend some time before you get it mastered but the time is worth the effort.
