I do mine a few ways, I have a branding iron the I heat up with a torch. It takes a little time to heat it up, but I like using it. Where there is a big enough piece of wood visible, like on the back or bottom, I will brand it. I have also "branded" several pieces of veneer and if I can't brand the piece directly, I will epoxy one of the veneer pieces in an appropriate place. If none of that will work I sign it with a Sharpie. I also add the month/year completed to whatever the piece is. I do this even though I rarely sell anything... but I do give pieces away and I want the recipients to know who they owe a huge amount of gratitude to!!!! Okay, maybe not so much...

Hummm, I would do it on a lathe, and as the part off each piece, I'd cut a recess on one side and a small rabbet on the other so I could stack two together when they are "kinged". Well, maybe I wouldn't be good enough with the lathe to do it, but I would think about....

Nice job.

And I will give it a try the way stated in the video and see if there is a difference.

What to be aware of in a used Excalibur saw?
Scrappile replied to OCtoolguy's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Ray, if you really want to know about that "soft start" call Advance Machinery. They can probably tell you in short order if it is a problem, and if so they can tell you what it would take to fix it... may or may not be worth fixing. Or, send it to me and I will do it for you...... Just do not put your return address on the package...... -

Which to sell,,,, you know that would be an easy choice for me!! But you do what is most comfortable for you... Congrats on the new saw, I think you will like it and it looks like great buy. -
Blade changing requires a tool. You can get accessories do you do not need a tool for the top clamp if you desire, but the bottom clamp will require a tool.

Well reading what Travis posted we know it is prior to 2012. From the picture looks like not a lot of use on it. I think you may add to your saw collection! -
Nice scrolling as usual!

Here is the thread with the Ex timeline -
Thanks, I had not seen that video before. By that I have been doing it wrong ever since I installed my quick clamp.

Good chip/dust collection is important. If you don't have it, chips build up on the rollers and boards won't feed well and in opinion increase the likely hood of snipe. I have a Delta planner, it has been a good one as long and I keep sharp blades in it and keep it as clean as possible. After several uses I will tear mind down and vacuum, brush and wipe as clean as possible, everything I can get to. My manual even says take the rollers out and wash them periodically. I have not done that because I have not been able to figure out how to get the completely out of the machine!! But I do clean then. Between each use I will at a minimum take a brush and brush off all the chips that may be stuck to the rollers.. Brush, switch on so roller roll a little, off, brush again..... I think one of the biggest mistakes user make is trying to make quick work of planning. As mentioned, light passes.... and wear hearing protection!

Yep, that is what I do.

Okay, I found my manual. Humm, I'm a little confused. In the original manual, it says in section 9.7 (page 7) referring to Fig 9.9, "Turn the upper knurled screw towards the clamp so that a gap of around 1mm exists between the clamp and the bolt. The picture shows the original style clamp, that you used a tool to loosen and tighten the clampp to put the blade in place... page 8 shows pictures with the "Quick Clamp", it says in section 10.2 "Attach the special clamp in the upper swing arm and lock with the knurled screw. " Lock sounds like the knurled screw would be screwed tight..... So I guess I am not sure. I do know I leave that clamp a little loose, like I did when I was using an original style clamp and I do break some blades but not any more than I did on my Ex when I had it or my Seyco now. I did break more blades when I first got the machine and had the upper clamp held in tight....

Oh my, I will have to dig out my manual and read again. I was having all kinds of blade breakage until I red my manual and it said or I thought it did to loosen that a little.... Can't do it right now but I will dig the manual out again tomorrow and re-read.

Hope you can read this

Some great stuff, Kevin. I just printed plans for a new bird feeder yesterday. Not sure when I will get to it, but we need a new one.

I have found tension is maybe more important on a Hegner than other saws, but after some use I learned just from feel of setting the tension lever if it is right or not.
