Nice... do you think it would work on 9/16" maple? I need to cut a headstock for a guitar, something like a Fender (not too fancy) and don't want to mess it up. I have no idea of how maple compares with knotty pine, lol. I bought a guitar neck and it has a small slab of wood, where the headstock will be, so I can make whatever I want, but I only get one try. heh heh.
@@Scallapaloosian I'm embarrassed to say that I still haven't cut into it yet. I have a few guitars that I already play, but I wanted to make this one a left handed headstock, for my right handed body, which will reverse the string lengths, which makes the thin strings go further down in pitch, when the whammy is depressed... and I'd like it to have the larger Fender, late 60's look (my preference) My thoughts are, I will attach my jigsaw, upside-down, to a small plank of wood, and use the scroll blade... this way it would be more like a table scroll saw, I also thought about sawing, maybe just barely outside the line... and sand it, hopefully, to the exact size... and that's also why I'm still hesitating. I don't trust my electric saw abilities. I wish I could find somebody that was used to doing this type of sawing... they could probably saw it correctly in 30 seconds... but then, probably charge me an arm and a leg. If they could just follow a line and were experienced, it should only take a few seconds. Hope another year doesn't go by.
I have that same blade, with a Bosch jigsaw...... and I had no idea it could handle that tight of a turn. I guess its just me, but making those really tight turns, just seems.... wrong. I can't explain why it does. That first really tight 90 degree turn in about a 1/2 inch, I thought for sure would snap that blade........ but you can't argue with the results.
Forgot to ask: How many of the Scroll blades are in one pack? Oh! Never mind you were holding the blade with Model No. long enough to write down the details. Thanks again.
Very nicely explained. This is exactly what I wanted to see. Thank you very much.
Thanks! The bosch blades hold up great. I'm still using that same package.
Get the Harbor Freight jigsaw blade combination set. It has the scroll blade and it works pretty good
I'm a novice so bear with me... Will the Harbor Freight jigsaw blade work with most jigsaws?
I can almost hear scroll saw owners screaming:"but no, that's not right " 😆
OMG that's awesome. I have to get one :)

About to do the same thing what did you end up going with?

Will it work on other brands of scroll saws?
I tried with a scroll blade on a Ryobi saw and it could NOT do what you just did. It started vibrating like hell if I turned it too hard.
Play with the stroke settings. The more aggressive the stroke the rougher the cut.
What kind of wood are you using also what thickness?
It's 1/2 inch knotty Pine. I had it left over after installing it in my patio ceiling.
Skillz!
Is there a blade that would work on some thicker hardwoods? Or would I need a scroll saw/ban saw?
Jig saw blades with a low tooth count work great on thicker hardwoods
Probably won’t work on oak aye?
Thick oak.. No
