Well done Richard you have mastered the dreaded spiral blades. I started out using the 2/0 blade then progressed to the 3/0 which is now my favourite spiral blade.
-
Anyone use this kind of Ply? Revoluniaryply ?

Bet we can't get it down under. -
That's a great mistake Dave wish my mistakes turned out like that.
-
You did just fine for your first name plate,well done.
-
Thanks for the input Len but I have already tried this they were very hard to turn so i cleaned them up & lubricated them so they should be fine now.
-
Worked beautifully Len only problem I have is the spiral blades bending on the lower blade holder I have tried all the tips I have found but still does it,Think I went through about 10 blades on this one.any clues?
-
A nice looking tiger there Rob,well done.

This is the first project on my new EX21 & the first project using spiral blades .Thanks to Neptune for this image.I know it is not perfect but I am quite pleased as to how it turned out.It is cut from Marine Ply & I used 3/0 Spirals. Now to work out what finish to use & frame it Cheers Peter

I just bought a ex21 & am quite happy with it I have mine mounted on a home made wooden stand & it is as solid as a rock.I purchased a foot switch for $40 & wired it in myself ,can you buy the saw somewhere without the stand & foot switch, would be a lot cheaper.
-
Well done Roly you certainly have some nice pieces on your stand,makes a terrific show,who could not resist buying something.

Welcome Becky I to use my scroll sawing as therapy after a mild stroke, it has kept me focused & has given me something to look forward to,I like Marg am from Australia also.Enjoy your time with us.Cheers Peter

My favourite would be" Birds of Paradise" sometimes "Ballpark " with a mixture of others.

No Clayton the actual lining up of the holes is done before the saw is switched on & when lined up for the next hole with the arm raised again I found the laser to be pointing in the same location over the hole in the table.The laser is switched off between setting up for the next hole.
-
Nicely done Dave that came out just right.

Hi Sam yes I have adjusted the motor you can either put a 90 degrees set square in front of the blade so you can see what angle it is cutting or as I did put a piece of about 2" timber in front of the blade and watch where it is cutting I have mine set to just about 90 Degrees which left a faint saw cut the full height of the timber. I loosened the screws holding the motor just slightly so it just turns & turned the motor with it running till I was happy with the angle .If you run out of adjustment you can move the screws to the other end of the slot,Hope this helps you. Cheers Peter
-
Glad this might be a solution for you, I must check at the hardware shop to check out there range of lasers that might be adaptable .Cheers Peter
-
If it does not Len the nozzle on the laser gun swivels to give adjustment
-
Never thought of that one Dan.
-
I had a laser on my bench drill that I never used so I transferred it to my new EX21 ,When the top arm is in the raised position the laser is focused on the hole in the table. So now all I have to do is line up the cross hair on the drill hole in the pattern & know it is directly over the table hole.The batteries & switch are on one side of the top arm & the laser gun on the other.The photos might make it clearer.Cheers Peter

Very nice Dick I to am attempting a spiral project as well & I hope mine comes out half as good as yours, well done
-
Well cut I am sure they will love those.
-
Your a clever sew & sew Kev.
-
No Len it is the EX-21 I would be interested to Know the result as well, Cheers Peter.

Hi Len I forked out $1099 Australian for the saw + $47 for the Freight
-
I bought the light from our local Bunnings store but thats in Australia It is a LED clip on fitting & I attached it by using one of the screws in the top arm & a zip tie as well,the switch is held on top of the arm with double sided tape.
