gret cutting my grand son would love it.
-
I just bought a magnifying light and love it. I bought it from menards for $40 I don't know if there is one near you. but that is your bst bet.
-
There is a lot of woods harder than aluminum. unseeing the right speed is the key to cutting it don't run too fast .you might try some packing tape on top for lubricant .
-
I sit I have my saw on a porter cable scrolls aw stand with a 2" riser on the back. it's kind of hard to use a foot peddle while standing.

That is one of the reasons I use Olson's, the other reason is Olson's are easier to find with out ordering them. I did notice that W.T.B changed it's postage rates.

when i was a kid (late 50's) me and my buddy would collect the caterpillars for a bate shop along the river. we supplied them about 500 a week as long as the worms lasted, about 11/2 weeks. we laid several sheets on the ground around the tree trunk and then hit it with a sledge hammer and down came the worms. do it a couple times and you had the 500 caterpillars. we got 1 cent each, we lived about 20 miles from the Ohio river and he came to pick them up.

We have plenty of this wood around my area. a large Caterpillar appears on it in July or august and catfish just love them. my brother in law has used it and it finishes well a very beautiful wood.
-
Ilov it.
-
the reason for war-page is there is too much moisture in the wood, the wood should be between 6% & 8% . I bought a moisture meter at harbor freight for $13,When I buy wood i check it before buying if it is over 9% i leave it alone. and I halve no warping problems.
-
nice work I like the lepord best.
-
I use a moisture Gage and don't want to work on anything with a higher moisture tha 9% moisture and very seldom have any warpage.

Slow day at work means multiple questions to the forum
ike replied to jbrowning's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I get long use out of my blades, I very seldom run faster than a 5 on my DW 788. I get some where between 40 minutes and 1 1/25 hours per blade and i cut a lot of hard woods like walnut and cherry. I use nothing but Olson's blades and if I use the crown blades I usually get about 30% ore life. -
Good idea now to get the wife to Chang it!
-
I like the different woods effect good job.
-
I spray mine with Lacquer
-
nice cutting
-
I have been laid off twice The first time I was 52 tears old ( 27 years with the company) and the second time I was 54 years old . unless the economy is bad a machinist can always find a job in my area. but it is still hard on a person to start at the bottom again. I now am a full time Stroller.
-
You make us proud. still doing good work Thank you.
-
They just opened a Menrds close by. so i went for a look and They have Olson's blades priced at $3.98 pr dozen.The only place that I can get them that cheep is on line. and I got a magnifier light for my saw for $39.00 I have been looking for them and they all cost $150.00 to $275.00. I spent $62.00 and these eyes are 76 years old and need all the help they can get.

ike replied to PMosley's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Pluck the blade with yur finger nail and if it has a nice clear high pitch sound you hsve it right. start cutting and if it don'e feel right tighten it a little more.. -

I haven't seen it but it looks like some we had in the machinate shop for polishing parts to a icro finish only that was finer than about 1800 grit.
