There are times when doing intricate scroll saw work, you need a very small pilot hole for the scroll saw blade. This can be problematic with pin-end blades. But, here's a quick and easy work-around.
How to Hack a Pin-end Scroll Saw Blade
- Using the Proxxon MICRO Press MP 120, select and mount the 5/16" (8mm) punch.
- Center the punch over the smallest hole in the base.
- Position the blade pin over the hole.
- Lower the punch, and punch out the blade pin.
- Use a common safety pin to replace the removed pin.
Now you need a much smaller pilot hole to accommodate the hacked blade.
