I’m looking to purchase some new sanding equipment for my intarsia work. Up to now I have been using a dermal tool with flex shaft, but it’s too slow and messy for most pieces. I have done some with a drum sanding unit on a drill press. I have been looking at the Fordom variable speed bench lathe, or maybe a slower speed grinder with a flex drum sander.... what do you folks use.... advise... thanks for you input, I need it... oleranger.... aka Max

Thanks guys.... I have a call into Ray... he's suppose to be calling me back later today. I didn't buy from Seyco, and it's 7 years old, but maybe he'll help me with a fix. If not Zen, I may take you up on your offer. Knew I could get some good help from this site... Yer all the best... Ye Ole Ranger

OK all you scroll saw maniacs... I need some help... I have an Excaliber 21 and love the saw to death. Best I have ever used. However, I have a problem that I'm not sure how to fix. Just recently my tension bar at the top of the cutting head, starting vibrating loose during a cut. It wasn't too bad at first, but has gotten progressively worse over the past few days. I took the whole thing apart, cleaned it and back together and it's doing the same thing. Is there an adjustment I'm missing? Anyone have a similar experience and have a fix for it? I suspect it's something simple, but it's got me bewildered at this point. I went through the operating manual, but couldn't find any mention of this. Any trouble shooting locations someone knows about that they can share with me. I would appreciate any help anyone has on this one. Thanks Ye Ole Ranger

The project I'm doing is "End of the Trail" Indian warrior on a horse with lance down. I'm not sure who designed the original, but got the pattern from Kirk Boleman. Anyway, it's about 180 pieces. It's about 2 foot in diameter, and most of the detail is with the horse and the rider. I've done a couple of others before, a ship wheel and a tazmainian devil, which had fewer pieces but were also in circles. On both of them I started from the outside and worked in. On the ship wheel that approach worked out well. On the Tazmainian it was a struggle as I got to the inside with more detailed pieces. This one is about the same size, but more than double the pieces. Hope this additional information helps. I do need the advice of an expert. Thanks for the comments so far, and any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Ye Ole Ranger

I have a question for all you Intarsia specialists. I'm just getting started doing this. Have done a few simple pieces, now about to tackle one that is a bit more difficult. Up to now, I have been starting on one side of the piece and moving through it to the other side. The one I'm about to attempt is round with a series of boarder pieces. My question is... is it better to start from the outside and work in? or would I be better to start in the center of the piece and work out, with the boarder being my final pieces. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ye Ole Ranger

I hate to admit this, but I can't find the manual for my Excalibur EX-21. I have had the saw for about a year and I love it. I'm concerned with and about maintenance. Is there some sort of maintenance I should be doing with this saw? I don't know where to go to get another manual, so am posing the question here. Also, when I raise the arm to change blades, it won't stay in the upright on it's own; I have to hold it up. Is there some sort of adjustment that I can make to have the arm stay in upright position as I change blades. Anyone that has a manual that can give me a cast up on these questions is greatly appreciated. Max aka oleranger

My name is Max and I have been scrolling off and on for almost 20 years. Still learning and developing my skills. I recently retired and so now have plenty of time to pursue my scrolling desires. I just purchased my 3rd saw, and Excalibur and I'm loving it. Still trying to work out the bugs and adjust to a new saw, so am breaking habits developed with over 15 years on a Delta. I am having a few glitches and was wondering if there is anyone here who uses an Excalibur and can help me with my concerns. Good to be with you.... Ye Ole Ranger
