Geoff, Glad you found what you were looking for. The tool crib was great when I called for a custom cutter as well. At the time I didn't realize you were out of the US, but that obviously cause a problem...

I take your points about fabricating the larger parts of patterns and I do that as a matter of course, while the smaller details are cut and 'stuck-on'. Cutting those details has been a problem for for me.

I too have a scrollsaw, which is almost permanently set to a draft-angle, but I cannot achieve decent surfaces with it. This is 'my' problem rather than that of the machine, and I hope that by milling the twiddly bits my patterns will improve.

facing same problem with my scroll saw, the surface is not okay.
