I found this over on Wood Magazines website and thought I'd share it. This will certainly help get more life out of your scroll saw blades, since you basically only use about an inch, inch and a half of the center of the blade. By using Franks idea you move the work up a little and make use of more of the upper section of your blade were there are new sharp teeth. Frank's idea is shown below in it's entirety. Thank you Frank S. & Wood Magazine.
For anyone who hasn't visited Wood Magazines website, it's worth your time to go have a look Wood Magazine
"I do a lot of scrollsaw work in a year's time and go through hundreds of blades. Rather than throw away the blades away after they become dull or lost their set, I mounted an auxiliary top on my saw table as shown below. The top raises the workpiece up so I'm sawing with 'new' teeth."
