Default Help cutting brass with a scroll saw

NokNokMan wrote:

I bought a scroll saw to cut some 3/16" 360 alloy brass. I haven't had much
luck with the 15tpi blades I bought to go with it. My project is WR Smith's
skeleton clock. He uses a scroll saw to cut his frames; it shows it in his
book. Unfortunately, he doesn't mention what blade he uses. My scroll saw
can use pinned and plain 5" blades, so if anyone could point me in the right
direction I'd probably be able to use any blades suggested.

thanks,
Dave

i got what looks like a scroll saw, but its a jewelers saw and its got
very, very fine teeth on the blade.. got it at a hobby shop it is
suppose ot be used in jewelry making stuff... to cut metals......
thats probably what you need the scroll saws i have have teeth about 5
times the size of the teeth on these paper thin blades.....
that probably whey it is not working......
