Multifasited

Some sendoff and teflon coat ,some have plated with plexiglas ,some have installed formica .all must have been prefectly done no voids or bubbles or sharp edges ,but few brag about the improvements ,makes me wonder ,I just keep mine clean and waxed till the rave reviews come in .

Finer than FROG HAIR ,and Scarcer than Hens teeth .Excellent !

Ricks 's is a wealth of info ,gwinett woodworkers site another tube video , source ,been posted many times ,solves a lot of issues ,THEY need to be BOOK MARKED for reference.exceptional ,a lot of these things have been posted and just get ignored till they are lost but needed ! That cures the from to back issue on those that have them .

Congratulations . Now !! Everybody who does that pattern can finally experience ,What it is like to be able SCROLL (DUST FREE) and see what they have been missing !!

SEMI _twist is smaller ,I straighted w/ needle nose and reg pliers ,better but not really flat nor are the flat end spirals that least was the ones I got but much better ! Also another reason I bottom load ,visability !

Bigger number bigger blade ,chart ,ws posted some time ago ,as with all blades points face down ,bottom load -top loading will be personal choice .fret work I bottom load ,too many holes to have to keep using both hands under the table ,plus I can see what is going on ,spirals will teach you about how much pressure and speed you can get away with go slow atfirst and let saw dust clear proceeding .do that and you will love them speed will increase as you get used to them .Carl

When your ready to cure the problem ,PM me!

Sorry to hear ,glad your safe ,so many possible dangers in the shop we forget we are not bullet proof ! Nothing can be said ,I am sure you have not already said to your self ,after thank you JESUS ! You have my sym. scared hell out of myself on ocassion ! Carl

If lacquer ,ever gets a white haze ,you got moisture between coats ,don't panic respray with straight lacquer thinner will take it right out ,your problem sound like the last coat dried too fast ,was the piece warm ?

3-J ,Get your honey do list all caught up,Then,you will be really ready and prepared to ENJOY w/o interuption !Let's HOPE !! You will be HOG heaven !!Good luck ! Carl P.S. Start off right wax your table and put some anti-sieze on the clamp screw threads .

They are all machines and are subject to issues ,I was beginning to think from so many posts about old yeller ,the ex's were the HOLY GRAIL ,might have something to do with how many are out there and how long! They are all just machines after all and operated under the best operators in the world ! Service on both ends has more to do with it satisfaction of any piece of popular saws !

3-J ,masks are good for some ,they good up to $ 450.00 plus canisters ,some love them ,personally with trifocals and dislike for lack of freedom good ones pose ,I chose to get it at the source and expell it outdoors and not have to deal with it at all . What ever masks gets only what you breath while the mask is on ,the rest is there for you to stirup later when your maskless ,I really not trying to be a smart ass but it's a fact plus keeping your mask clean when not in use .If none of those are issues . you have found what helps and serves you needs, I glad ,that was my first step and like you say helped a lot,but not enough for me ,But I never went to DW style ,$$$$ Carl

You are are on the right track , I can help you totally eliminate all that lower dust DIY with stuff you already HAVE ,I'd bet or for less than $5 ,and take less than 1 hr. If you are interested pm me ,and I'm not selling anything ! Carl

There are an awful lot of people in the hospital with perfectly good nose hairs ,Go figure ! GOD !! helps those who HELP them selves ,Reminds me of the Guy that Prayed for two years to win the LOTTERY ,Finally the last night a LOAD Voice came out of the clouds saying ,First you have to buy a lottery TICKET , Good luck I wish you the best ! Carl

Ike,I hate to tell you ,the less space, the higher ,the concentration per sq.ft. ,Yes ,I definitely suggest a good vac, and a sheet rock filter bag to contain the the dust and protect the vacs motor's bearings and stop exhausting ultra fines back thru the vac.into the space it is housed ,I am fortunate I have an out side wall in my computer room under a porch roof so the vac is outside under cover and extended by 2" pvc .every thing is DIY except the vac and bag ! I even cut some concrete siding as a short test ( kills blade very fast )but vac got all the dust ,Planning to video tape and post if and when I can get setup and posting figured out in a decent format (not a camera or computer geek!to say the least) so it's trail and error ! I want to try the black light thing ,not sure how well that will video ,.The key for real success is collection at the source w/o creating a octopus or blocking access .My personal belief is this can be done on any modern saw ,with a little effort and very limited cost ! BTW my computer room is only 10x14 and houses two desks saw drill press and dremel cabinet ,large wide dresser and my 42"x42" rollaround table and my rollaround saw caddie ,roll around tool box frames and shelves in closet. so I am probably as cramped as you plus my computer set 4' from the saw . But sure beats hell out of working in my cold and hot shop for detailed work ,Oh!! yeah ,2 wide roll around office type chairs complete the room w'4 over head 8' shelves up high loaded. Hope this helps ! I have posted numerous posts with pix over the last yr with up grades and tweeks ,Ihope some of this helps as you decide how to make you room as dust free as possible ! Carl

I think Most will agree it's the fine dust that's the bad stuff ,So ,I ran some tests to illustrate ,the point ,and be able to see ,What you can not see usually ,And do so in a manner effectively,to be able to see ,(the invisible) . Granted neither of will ever be these items is or will be normal fodder for a scrollsaw ,and only cut for proof of filter effectiveness and whether changes to you system are needed. The TEST - is very easy & FAST , I used a 5"x5" scrap of 1/2" sheet rock taped the border sealing against edge crumbles etc. so actual cutting of saw leaves or makes dust on the saw table . Now set your saw up the way you normally use it and start sawing making a zig zag pattern thru the piece , Being the dust is white you will be able to see a stark contrast to and other dust shut down as usual ,wait 5 minutes for the air borne dust still floating to settle . This should dramatically give proof you could not see ,The small size ,should not have any effect on any of you using vac's , other then show you how much is passing thru back into the air and you will be able to see it's effect also. Good Luck ,But I am afraid at least some of you will wanting to make some changes ,some will mock at the use of sheet rock ,This 2 minute test raises the DUST level Dramatic-ly to illustrate the point few can see what they Breath in hours of Scrolling ,a few will scoff ,a few will laff ,But all will wonder ,to some degree especially those who cut toxic wood ,plywood w/ glues and MBF just for starters . I would ask Those of you ,who Do the test ,and scare hell out of them selves ,and those who have a better way to reply ! They are your Lungs ,Now I HAVE COPD ,(which NO_BODY in their right wants )That DUST Has been a Thing I had to fix or give up Scrolling all together ,So I pass this along to you while you have no issues , Get a large vac and put a sheet rock dust collector bag in it to stop the Ultra fine dust from re-entering the room and protecting the bearings of the vac.s Motor ,and the mess you can't SEE ! Carl

If you are talking about the blade clamp screw ,you really need one with a built in pivot end (like on a C-clamp)(only as an example )as pivot on a clamp screw is actually smaller in dia than the of the thread ,lets tip clamp against blade with out disturbing with final clamping twisting and misaligning blade in holder ! The Front to back angle of the blade ,is only related to the blade to table angle front to back ,changing the angle of the table to the blade by raising the rear of the table on my 788 solved the problem ,doing it ,requires some real thought to be able re-secure and maintain solid pivot to not mess up pivot for tilt of table ,not familiar with your saw , Doing this will change aggressive-ness( aka )speed for other applications where tight precision are not needed .Some high dollar saw have this adjustable feature built in .

Thats the key getting something that fits and works in your personal layout .

Paint them into eyes !

Thongs are not proper dress any where but the bed room .LOL

I really like Easy to read and fine detail ,well design ! So many signs you can't read,fine detail ,just too busy to read with out study !

Padded wide armed office chair on wheels ,saw ,sand ,dremel and drill all operate the computer all within 4' of each other ,vac system makes all this possible ,by keeping area clean so wheels will roll .Plus ,I'm Lazy . and my butt never hurts or my back ,788 angle ,sees to that .saws and stand was lowered to 30" ,make what ever you like as whide as you complete Butt and 3" attached cushion ,would help , never liked a stool even padded seemed to have to alway move and remove as the project went on , usually saw bare foot so slight adjustments of the chair is braced by bare feet one one the foot switch the other on the clean floor ,works great .

Amazingly well done ,and I like your choice of frame too !

Thank you all for the flowers ,BTW that carving ,is a salvaged piece of plank off the Bridge started 31/4" x 14" x 12' long solid oak built in 1886 I think,I ruined 3 sets planer blade salvaging cut up solid pcs. Hard and heavy , I worked on repairing and replacing the ramps ,some years ago ,I still have some sections un redone left , there would make one hell of a battering ram , I made a carving chisel Mallet out of a chunk , very few marks on it it's that hard !

Pictures Please some of us ,read picture s, real good, reading and writing ,not so good .Helps the non-posters steal ideas w/o anyone knowing who they are ! So you see you will be educating ,the silent majority of the lurkers ,spiders and bot's .
