Hey Larry - I'm not a scroll saw user, but I have to ask - is this
the kind of stock that you plan to run through this saw in normal
use? Is 6/4 even a realistic expectation for a scroll saw? I was
under the impression they were more for thinner woods like 1/4". Maybe
I'm wrong... All I'm saying is that your idea simply struck me as a bit
of an
overkill sort of test - one that may not be appropriate for the
tool. Overkill is quite favorably looked upon here, by almost all
of us, but overkill seldom really serves the purpose we think it
will.


It is overkill, but many guys doing this stack that much in ply so
they can make one set of cuts and sell 10 or more.


Makes sense. I guess it wouldn't be so much overkill in that case.
