Pierce the design with a
3 /0 saw blade. I lubricate
my saw blade with candle wax
(paraffi n) applied to the back of
the blade.
Saw right next to the lines, leaving
them intact. If the design you are
using does not allow using fi les to
refi ne the shapes of the cut-outs,
use the saw blade as a fi le to adjust
and clean up the pierced areas.
When I use the saw blade as a fi le,
I support the portion of the blade
below the work against the inside
notch of the bench pin to enhance
stability and control. I also use an
abbreviated or shortened stroke
when using a saw blade as a fi le.6f 6g
