Woodmaster1 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have seen Bob's YouTube videos and they are very informative. If you need to work on the Dewalt or Delta watching them is a must. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I wonder why there are so many Dewalt or Delta scroll saws.They seem to be problematic and appear to wear out quickly under very heavy use. Not knocking them, just wondering. Perhaps they perform well or price point? Both? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most folks won't attempt to fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodmaster1 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have not had any problems with my Delta, but I am not a heavy user. The woodworking club's Dewalt is 7 years old and gets heavy use and there no issues at this time other than than tension arm needs tighten just a touch. The club has the Dewalt and a 16" Excalibur and the go to scrollsaw is the Dewalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I just wrote all the details down and have it taped to the side of my computer cupboard so I don't forget about it, it will come in very useful. Thank you and Steve Good for post it. Marg OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 This is an update to a previous set of 4 videos that Bob did. I downloaded them and saved them as a movie so I can refer back to it whenever I wanted. Probably a waste of disk space but you never know when something on youtube will go away.
