Daily TipWhen trying to remove the fuzzies from the back of a piece cut with spiral scroll saw blades, consider using a torch I know you are wondering if I have lost my flippin' mind, but I swear it is an effective and fast way to remove those stubborn fuzzies. Frequently, sanding or even using a dremel tool to remove the fuzz will take longer then it actually took to cut the pattern. Not to mention the risk of breaking and ruining the piece. Using an xacto knife can be equally time consuming and yield similar results.... what's a scroller to do? A bernzomatic plumber's torch is my remedy of choice. By setting the flame at the lowest possible setting, and waving the flame QUICKLY over the back of the cutting, I can remove the vast majority of fuzzies in about 5 minutes! There are some concerns here obviously, using a torch can have disasterous results if you don't use some common sense, and I'm not just talking about ruining a project, so be careful. If you happen to accidentially leave a scorch or two on the front of the piece, you can usually sand them off pretty easiely by using a small piece of sandpaper on the scorched edge. |
