18. and moving through the cut again Avoid forcing through a curve cut as this can cause the blade to twist and cut off track or may even cause the blade to break Fret Cutting Fret or inside cutting is an operation that can only be performed on a scroll saw Fret cutting involves drilling a small guide or pilot hole through the Interior of your pattern on the workpiece then disconnecting one end of the blade which is fitted through the guide hole and re connected essentially using this guide hole as the starting point to cut out the piece from within A typical example of fret cutting would be removing the center portion of lettering See Fig 9 The EX 21 EX 30 is a great tool for fret cutting because unlike most scroll saws it allows you to raise the upper arm with the blade attached line up the guide hole in your workpiece with the hole in the table and then lower the arm while guiding the blade through the hole from above see step by step instructions below This can be a very useful time saving feature particular ly for intricate or complex fret designs that can involve dozens or even hun dreds of holes Fig 9 remove portion Note The upper arm locks in place in the raised position for easier insertion of the blade through the hole in the workpiece and for easier blade changes 1 With the saw turned off and unplugged install the appropriate blade for the type of material to be cut and the type of cut to be made R
