preprius Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Looks good. Now if the pie was cherry instead of apple it would be better. Thanks for the pics.

My Ex-21 has a "plug in" right on the saw for the foot switch, this one does not. Curious how that works. Thanks again. mc OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I recommend a foot switch. Most use them. And I believe most use a deadman switch, foot on machine on foot off machine turns off. I use to, but a few months ago I tried a latching step on/ step off switch. I tried because I have been cutting a picture big enough that I have to stand to manipulate the piece of wood. Now that I am use to it I prefer it. You plug the saw into the switch and the switch is plugged into the wall receptacle. MarieC and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Drive it like you stole it! Because you did. Wen has a great foot switch on Amazon for about $12. I have one and love it. When my other 2 switches quit, I'll buy 2 more. MarieC and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRugerH Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 If you have a Harbor Freight near you, they have them there for about $15. I have used them on other saws, and put one on my mom's Sakura scroll saw. They are a must have. Dan MarieC and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I purchased mine from Harbor Freight. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I had one that I bought from Harbor Freight that was a switch on/off rather than the one you have to constantly keep your foot on back when I had my deWalt.. I sold it with the saw as all the other saws I've had came with a switch, but they are all the type that you have to keep your foot on. The ones that come with the hawks and the hegner are a very low profile one and i like them a lot better than the taller one that came with my EX so I swapped the EX one with one from the Hawk i sold a few years back.. Harbor Freight had both the on/off or the one you have to keep your foot on back when i got mine but that was many years ago so i don't know what they have now.. both was the same price I think but just depending on what one you want. The one the Hawk and hegners come with have a plug on them that is easy to plug in a T plug for my Seyco Vac, Saw, and my hour meter so they all run off the foot switch.. Not sure how much Hawk / Bushton or Hegner gets for their switches.. those are the ones I personally like.. because of the low profile.. I think if I had to get a taller one I'd rather have the on/off style.. OCtoolguy and MarieC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Kevin, that lo-profile switch is the Wen. I love how thin it is. Very little pressure to keep it depressed. kmmcrafts and MarieC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I'd love to find a latch switch that size. The swithch that came with my Hegner was and I did like it more then the thicker switches from HF. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray, thanks so much ...just one question... is it the type that to keep it on, you keep your foot on it, and as soon as you take your foot off, it turns off? (Did I use too many commas?)

Scrappile Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I don't know why but momentary means it stays on as long as you keep your foot on,,,, Latch means once on, once off? confuses me! OCtoolguy and MarieC 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Did I use too many commas?) Yes, it's called a "dead man" switch. Because if you die while at your saw, you're foot will more than likely slide off the switch and turn off whatever machine you are operating. Works great around explosives too. If you have a TNT vest wrapped around you and you take your thumb off the button, "DEAD MAN"! MarieC and Dave Monk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was still able to make the apple pie and go to the Christmas party! It runs beautifully, the table top is almost new and the plastic protective was still on some parts of it. Not too bad for $275 Very nice. Should last a long time. Happy scrolling. MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She use to come and care for us, a couple of times, when my Mom was in the hospital she was an amazing cook and baker, My brothers and I never had a complaint when we were told Aunt Amanda was coming to help us...The crust is the secret. My wife never spent time to master it. I wish I would have. . MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
