[TheForge] Re: antique machines and thoughts

My question is will you have the control of sensitivity required to not
break blades?  I have a friend that does a lot of piercing work, you can see
some at:  http://www.highlandanvil.com/ .  Once when I asked about using a
scroll saw to cut out the pieces, I was told that it did not work due to
breaking of blades.  If you contact Chuck of Athena they my have some advice
on this subject.
