HI all I mounted a 2 x 4 on the end of my work bench and mounted one of those plastic holdowns for lights and it works great, it is straight behind my saw and up level above my saw to move around like I wanted it to. I saved myself 25 bucks plus shipping. Bill

Hi all I have the 18vs saw and was wondering if anyone has that add on bracket for a magnifier lamp mounted on that sliver bar on their saw and if it works or not. I have an ott light magnifier and wonder if it would fit that. I think in looking at the part on the advanced sight it is the one that looks like a bracket with slots and a door hinge on other end. Thanks Bill

Hi Welcome to the forum, you did a nice job on that cross. It is nice to see someone making Christian things on their saw. Keep practicing and soon it will just be natural for you. nrscroller

HI NIce job, I made a small one out of 1x4 and a piece of peboard and covered it with that router mat piece. I hook my shop vac up on a hole I cut on the side and I sand all my ornaments with a pad sander on that! nrscroller

Hi all I stated out with a benctop 2 speed scroll saw and enjoyed the hobby. I went to the Delta Q3 for a while then had problems getting parts for the blade clamps. I then bought the version 1 Dewalt and still have that. I knew I wanted a Hegner after using that for a while and I found one on craigslist that was about 6 years old but hardly used. I bought that and have never looked back. I feel the blade clamping is fine, took a while to get used to, but that is all I use. My view is if you try scrolling and like it, buy a good saw for the long haul. I have had my used hegner for over 10 years now and it is still going strong. nrscroller.

I think Sue Meys has them on her site and I am sure Sheila Landry does also. Fox chapel has a book with 300christian patterns and there are crosses in there nrscroller

HI this sounds like me about 10 years ago. I had a Dewalt 788 and my wifes uncle had a Hegner and I really wanted to get one but at 1500 dollars, no. I found one on Craigslist that was 10 years old and never been used for 500 bucks with everything. I drove for 4 hours to get it, and I have been using that saw ever since and only spent money for the blade holders on it. Good luck and have fun. Bill

HI I use the Pegas 2/0 blades now as they are more skip tooth and they don't plugup like the FD blades did when I used them with my 1/8 plywood. I really like them a lot. Bill

Hi That is a hegner, but as Obsessed scroller said I would not buy it. I have an sv18 with variable speed and quick blade clamp and foot switch. I love mine. I got mine new on craigslist for 500 bucks about 10 years ago and it is still running strong.. Look for a hegner, they are a great saw but you need the quick blade clamp and variable speed for sure. Bill

Hi I posted something also in the SWCC forum that I have this unit, I have a metal rimmed filter with a rubber edge that is washable, and a 3 bag filter behind that. I also have a charcoal filter that is supposed to work if painting and with smells but I have never used that. Bill

AIR CLEANER/PURIFICATION Recommendations
nrscroller replied to Sam777's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I have a jet onthe ceiling also with 3 speeds and good filters and it workswell, you might also consider a dust deputy to hook up to your shop vac, they really suck the dust and another tip,get a 20 inch box fan and put a good furnace filter on the back side of it and have that backside behind your scroll saw, they help pick up a lot of dust.

See my post in the coffee area, I am redoing my shop Bill

nrscroller replied to dansnow's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Gee I am sure glad I have a rock solid older hegner that is like that timex that keeps on ticking Bill -
I use the good stuff. I have a place in White Bear Lake Minnesota that sells it and I buy a full sheet and they will cut it into small panels to handle it. I use 1/8 inch mostly. Rockler Woodworking also has small panels. Bill

Try this place, this where I get mine https://www.widgetsupply.com/ Bill

I got them when Bens workshop was going and I used the FD puzzle blades for years for making ornaments and small things. I tried the pegas blades of about the same size and I find them a lot better because they are skip tooth with the blades more open to avoid the clumping up with junk wood. I make most of my stuff with 1/8 bb plywood. I then ordered a gross of them from somewhere else. The name I can't remember right now. But I am impressed nrscroller
