Is it possible to stack cut 2 or 3 pieces of 1/2" hardwood (in particular White Oak and Cherry) with good results? I've never tried stack cutting so I'm unsure as to what to watch out for.
Thanks,

A question for any Scroll Sawyers

Stroke length, blade TPI, and adhesive all limit what you can stack. I can double stick two pieces of 3/4 stock together with little problem.
Go with as few tpi as you can endure - the blade will run cooler and cut faster. Skip-tooth, precision-ground teeth (PGT) are what you want. If you have a weak, cheesy scroll saw, you are asking for grief. DAMHIKT.
