SOMEONE who can please try one! If it is just like the Excalibur and at that price,,, DeWalt will be out of business... Seriously a saw as good as the Excalibur, at a cheaper price... just saying. I will be sorry I have a Seyco, and Seyco is in trouble also.
-
Humm, if it is exactly like the Excalibur as some say it is, you will be able to get parts from Seyco. I bet they will also help diagnose problems. But a person may be on there own replacing bad parts. I do not know of any parts on the Ex that are difficult to replace. But personally, I would make sure about all this info before I would purchase one a King saw.

Even though I goofed it up? Sorry. I even search Loc-Lite and came up with Loc-Line but didn't notice. Duh. I just purchased some from loc-line.com. Got great service and maybe a little cheaper than Amazon. I try to help out others when I can instead of alway Amazon. Just a personal thing. -

NICE. Always wanted a getaway cabin.

Well, Iggy, this was really a joy to read. So glad it appears to be working out, you really deserve it being you appear to be a very patient person. For what it is worth, I think all scroll saws, as do band saws have a drift tendency. It is a natural thing. Some more than others. I have a Hegner and it has less than any other saw I have owned, but I attribute that to the less forward/back motion on the saw, as your Hawk would have. I also tried the Pegas MG blades and they cut a straighter line, i.e. less drift than any other blade I have used. So, it must mean that the blade has a part, maybe the most part in the drift. I do not know. For my type of scrolling, the Pegas MG blades were too aggressive but I also tried some of their other blades and really liked them. Fact they may have replaced my favorite FD blades that I have used for a long time. Anyway, I am real happy for you. Life is great!

Glad to have you move in. Great place to chat, learn, drink coffee. Enjoy,,, oh ya share scrolling info and projects.
-
That is so impressive. Great job!

I really like the items you have been posting. Having little imagine most of what I cut is done in light wood with black background. Yours are not only well cut, but the presentation is also great. I am your pupil.

Those are very neat! I have in mind to try to make some pendants out of soapstone. I use to turn it on a lathe and make things, should be able to cut it on a scrolls saw.
-
That little steam engine, in the third picture, I kinda got side tracked on building one, I have the plans and motor. Need to get back at it. I really appreciate you posting pictures...

I think he was wondering about the avatar people have that is a colored circle with a letter in it. I think it is a default avatar.

You really did Grandpa's pattern proud! Those side/sides look like so much fun. Nice work.
-
May I ask where you got that info? The Seyco is like the EX, top or bottom feed..
-
Thanks so much for posting pictures. Those of us that are too far away to ever get there, really appreciate it. I especially like the picture of the "robots" Been there done that and one of my most fun projects.

You got a great find there. Hegner is my favorite saw followed by the Ex than the Seyco, that is of the saws I have owned. I would love to try a Hawk, but have not had the opportunity yet. I am anxious to hear from someone that owns or has owned an Ex., that has purchased the King saw or at least tried one. I want to know if it is comparable to the Ex. I fear they must have cut some corners to sell it that cheap. Anyway, congrats on your Ex find. If I got a good buy on one I would be mighty tempted.
-
Nothing wrong with the Ex. Did Seyco have one for sale? Is that where you got the new Ex? I agree with the head tilting, I never used it but I think I would like the Ex's turn knob method better. I plan on doing some inlaying and think the Ex would have been easier for tilting the head back and forth, I shall see. But, don't short change the Seyco. I have had both now and except for a couple little things they are the same. I do love the bigger table, but did not care for the magnetic cover. I have since made my own cover out of masonite and can insert zero clearance disks in it, same setup I had put on my Ex.

Some very nice work.
-
Nice cutting and presenting. Is that you "frame clamp" around that one frame or is that part of the framing? Just asking, I'm always looking for different frame clamps.
-
Great work and a great idea, showing the Quilt store owner your work. I am a quilter husband also.... spend a lot of time sitting in the car, while my wife goes into one more quilt store.... Maybe I will take a few samples to show and take some money out of a quit store for a change,, instead of my wife giving them money all the time......

Glad you have joined us. Looked at your posts of some of your work. Really very impressive. I think you will inspire more people to look at salvaged wood. Great work.

Hawk BM26 - Maybe? Possibly? Could it be???

Same with Hegner, everything is right out in the open.. Kinda funny how the more expensive saws are actually simpler. -
Welcome to the forum. There is a lot more to learn about scrolling than most think. A lot of different things can be accomplished with one.

Welcome to the Village. Glad you have moved in.

Makes for a very nice picture.
