Do the Pegas Scroll Sandpaper inserts actually work? If so can you use them to soften edges, or is it just smooth the cut edge?

Looking at these: https://www.artcraftersonline.com/product-page/90-12-120-pegas-scroll-sandpaper-1-2-120-grit-4-pack

Anyone have any experience? Worth getting, or more of a gimmick?

Advice on “snow”…

I started “scrolling” this summer and have loved it! I made this as a gift for my MIL and my aunt would like one as well, like this one, except she wants snow on the top of the tree branches. Any advice on how to best achieve that look on this tree? Segmentation or another wood layers on top? Open to any ideas! 😄 Thank you!

Are there any carbide scroll saw blades? If not, any recommendations for cutting truly hard wood? (Ipe)

As the title states. I am going to be doing some work with Ipe, which is an ungodly hard Brazilian Walnut species. It's 3X harder than Oak, and so dense it sinks in water.

On my table saw I use a blade with carbide inserts, and they do ok: more wear than most woods, but not unreasonable. However, I used a jigsaw on it a few years back and it literally just smoothed the teeth off before finishing one cut; I switched to a carbide jigsaw blade and it did much better.

I was hoping to use it on a scrollsaw to get it very close to template lines, but I'm worried I will literally be unable to make progress without carbide blades, and I can't find any, anywhere.

Any guidance on if carbide blades exist? If not, any suggestions?

My first try at intarsia/segmentation

This is a conglomeration of three or four different patterns with some of my own ideas mixed in. Done on commission. I hope she likes it. Can someone please tell me the difference between intarsia and segmentation? Seem like the same thing to me.

Bellows replacement- CV Joint Boot Kit?

Hi everyone, I need to replace the bellows on my Hegner Multimax 14 but I've seen many comments online about how you can use a CV joint boot kit (auto part) instead. Before I blow $60+ dollars on a bellows from advanced machinery, are there brands or recs (a link would be amazing) that people have used before that work? I also realize I might have to trim it a bit to fit my machine. Tyia!
