I bought a scroll saw last year for a specific job I had, but I haven't used it much since. I didn't have much problem with the piece I was working, it was quarter inch material and about 12" x 12". The hold down clamp worked OK, besides I was able to hold the piece by hand without backlash mainly because it was so thin. But I'm having trouble with a 3/4 or thicker pen blank. The hold down clamp isn't designed for such a small piece and I can't hold it firmly by hand. I'm having problems with it flopping around on me.
Is this a speed issue?
Should I use a custom hold down clamp like maybe a piece of plexi glass?
