How to Change a Scroll Saw Blade

Changing a scroll saw blade is a very important skill to know when you are working in DT. The following is a video on how to do so:

Important tips to remember when changing a scroll saw blade:

- Make sure the machine is off before trying to loosen the blade, trying to change a blade while the machine is on is extremely hazardous and unsafe.

- Remember to always tighten clockwise, and loosen anti-clockwise. This makes changing a blade a lot quicker and easier instead of trying to work out which way to turn it.

- Make sure the blades are always facing downwards. If the blades are facing upwards, the wood or metal will begin to travel up the blade and cause damage to the machine and your design. 

- Always remember, after tightening the blade, you must loosen it slightly with three turns anti-clockwise so that the blade is not too tight.
