Your Scroll Saw Basics Part 1-4 are Superburb videos. I have one but you would not believe how much trouble I've had using it!

I can't keep a cut in a straight line (wandering) and the wall finish isn't good so much so that I'll probably get a band saw.

My question is does the blade get blunt because the teeth arn't cutting on the backstroke just rubbing.

Hey, I got a problem.... I am doing a cross for a project and i'm using the scroll saw. I tried the first time and I screwed up big time.

1. I was using a bent blade.

2. I was going full speed.

My straight cut ended up being a diagonal cut.

Any tips to avoid it again?
