When it earns a place in your kit
Make small entry holes for threading a compatible scroll saw blade. Use it only where the design and actual stock call for this operation.
Compatibility & a first test
- Match these first
- Choose a bit large enough for the actual blade and its ends. Check bit grip and whether hand drilling suits the stock thickness.
- Try it on a sample
- Drill without forcing the bit and check blade clearance.
- Stop and recheck if…
- A hole sized only for the blade body may not pass a pinned end.
