OK and many thanks to the responses. I use a scroll saw very little
and mainly to cut 1mm aluminum templates. Working with large sheets
(12"x12") is no problem until I get to the edges. Small pieces (2"x2")
are really tough. I took the foot off and worked really slowly
yesterday with some improvement but still get a good kick once in a
while when doing a tight turn. If I get ambitious I will refabricate a
better hold down.
Nice web-page Phil!

Thanks Again
Fritz
