larger table on Hawk 226 scroll saw?

[jbrowning]

Haven't I seen on here where folks have enlarged the table on their Hawk Scroll Saw? I was cutting my 21" x 25" reindeer bodies out and the kind of get tipsy on me and I thought "man it would be nice if the table was just a tad bit bigger".

So am I mistaking or has someone put something on the table to make it larger that what comes with the Hawk 226 saw?

Thanks

Did it on both my Hawks and Hegner. Just made out of 1/4" plexiglass and secured with double sided tape. I still am able to use reverse tooth blades because all you need is a couple teeth for them to work like they should.

I just purchased a 3x5 or 3x6 ( can't remember which ) piece of rewritable board ( Masonite ) it was white for about $ 11.00 at Lowes. I like the white color. I did the same, cut it to the dimensions I wanted and used double sided tape to hold it down. It's been on for almost a year and still looks great.

I think what Grizz is referring to is called hardboard.  A 4'x8' sheet is under $11.00.  It also makes a good covering  for a work bench/table.

I have a sheet of this, and in fact tried scrolling it. The finish is flat white and should do well for enlarging your table.

I might have to make me a larger table for my Excalibur.. I don't seem to have any issues with the table size for the other saws.. I do larger work now and then and usually use the dewalt if I need more table support since it has the biggest table..
