Here is a link to the one we bought but it is no longer available. There was one like it in plastic but I can't find it. Anyway, this will give you an idea of what I'm talking about. https://www.amazon.com/Itlovely-Cyclone-Vacuums-Generation-Turbocharged/dp/B07P5L8YPZ?pd_rd_w=L24Cd&pf_rd_p=8b38c2b6-9022-4264-97d9-42a79e72c68a&pf_rd_r=6JAM467KEX4JCQ1Q382K&pd_rd_r=e41c65c6-6f14-4ef0-a0d4-8f1479910250&pd_rd_wg=TX11p&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_csi_day0_0_t I did a google search and found that it is available through this link. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32888242549.html?albpd=en32888242549&acnt=708-803-3821&aff_platform=aaf&albpg=894486321593&netw=u&albcp=9760820159&sk=UneMJZVf&trgt=894486321593&terminal_id=255480ec239441168d8d17915fa70a35&tmLog=new_Detail&needSmbHouyi=false&albbt=Google_7_shopping&src=google&crea=en32888242549&aff_fcid=a7714fbe34c645b1b1f19db3d3d86f83-1625858093440-05401-UneMJZVf&gclid=CjwKCAjw55-HBhAHEiwARMCszl0HF-dLvPRSR8lK7Q44Xg6IvFaLHcgHUvjh88s-CytXGjGizIui_RoCoHsQAvD_BwE&albag=99451607003&aff_fsk=UneMJZVf&albch=shopping&albagn=888888&isSmbAutoCall=false&aff_trace_key=a7714fbe34c645b1b1f19db3d3d86f83-1625858093440-05401-UneMJZVf&device=c&gclsrc=aw.ds

You have a great set up there but I would like to suggest one thing. Try to locate one of the Dust Deputy/Dustopper addons for your vacuum so that it will collect the fine dust and not burn out your vacuum. There has been an ongoing conversation or conversations regarding this subject. Rockytime and I have incorporated a mini cyclone that we bought on Amazon and when mounted in a coffee can or some type of receptable it captures almost all of the dust. I have a vac like yours and it has almost no filtration in it so it will soon lay waste to the motor in it. I'll try to find a link to the cyclones that we used. In the meantime make sure you keep a clean bag in the vac as that is just about the only filter. That little scrap of ??? hardly does anything.

I do FB quite a bit and when you posted this, I had to go and check it out. Very nice work. Congrats on your acknowledgement. I hope to see more.

Glad to hear positive news. I hope your relocation turns out to be what you were hoping for. I envy you in many ways.

I went through the exact same as you. I finally took that aluminum cover off and took it to a belt sander and really shaved a bunch off of it. I made sure the rod was adjusted up enough that I could still get good tension with the slide lever. After that, no more noise. As for your bearings, it might be a good idea to take your saw apart per the video and do a good clean and grease on them. It's not a tough job, just time consuming. A Saturday afternoon. I did it on mine using the Valvoline synthetic grease and a pipe cleaner. It made a lot of difference in vibration and noise. All scroll saws will vibrate at some speed or another. A lot of it can depend on how you have the saw mounted and positioned in your shop. If you don't move it much, as has been mentioned, a bag of sand on the lower rungs of the stand will take most of the vibration out of it. The DW is a very good saw so don't give up on it unless you just want a new saw. I started with one and then moved on up the quality ladder as good used ones came available. I now have what I feel to be the best their is.

My wife says I'm a dumpster diver and chastizes me when I drag sonethibg home. Anything I bring home had better be used or hidden in short order or I'm in trouble. Can you tell who is in charge?

That's it!

And, be sure to come back and ket us know what you found and how you fixed it. I'll lay odds on it being related to the tension rod and it's cover.

I used to have the same problem but found the answer. Just cut close to the line leaving enough to see the line. Then go to the disc sander and sand to the line. Really easy and quick.

Very nice Frank. Your work and creativity is top notch. Would you care to share the pattern you made? I've spent too many hours trying to learn Inkscape to no avail. I've decided to rely on other more gifted folks.

Everything else.

That's beautiful. I've never seen a paint by numbers done that well. And your scrollsaw renditon ain't half bad either. Congrats to both of you.

I was actually referring to the very tiny things that you have in your scenes. Like doll house furniture.

Denny, I know that you can buy silver engine paint in spray cans if you ever need it again.

I always hoped for a grandchild to teach what little I know. But it was not to be. I have 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Not a drop of my blood in any of them. Circumstances just were not in my favor. At least I got to share with my one son. He has followed in my footsteps and is now a very successful mobile tool salesman and has many of the same interests and talents that I have.

Very nice Denny. Well done.

Very nice & unique! Where do you find all the tiny accessories? Very creative.

Very nice!

Darned "capitalism"!

Go to scrollsaws.com and read all the things there about your saw. There is an easy fix for your problem. Lots of great info.

Me too. Lets start a "me too" movement.

Sorry Frank, not happening that way in my shop. I just shoot a pic or two when I'm at a stage that I want to save. The bench is ALWAYS cluttered and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do but the simple answer is to show off your work in the "Bragging Rights" forum. And it's always nice to include as much info as you can so we all know what is what. I recently learned that my phone takes pics in very high resolution. I now run them through a resizer to get the pics down to a reasonable size. Also, welcome to the Village. Be sure to go to the Introduction forum and tell us about yourself and where you live. We all love pictures and if you ask a question, sometimes it makes a difference in our answer if we know what your general location is.
