saw question

[pullit]

Just wondering, how many use a band saw and how many use a scroll saw to cut their reed holders etc. on their calls...
I use a band saw but have been thinking about going to a scroll saw, just because of the cost of the blades.
Those steel jigs will knock the set off a band saw blade before quick...

thanks

I use a band saw for the rough cutting, but use a belt sander to get insert to match the slope of the jig.

coping saw for me. It is the cheapest way, and since I am not a production maker it works fine for me. Shawn

I bought a cheap scroll saw off of Craigs list just to cut the toneboards. I hate the vibration, but still use it. I put on a new blade about every third or forth cut. I'm still thinking about how to set up a router or shaper to do this....

I also use a coping saw/fret saw to cut my toneboards and then file to final shape.

Scroll saw when using a jig, if freehand I use the bandsaw.

I actually wind up using both on my inserts. The bandsaw will not cut out the small piece at the end of the cork notch, so I use the scrollsaw to get that small piece cut
