    Les, what is the model number on your Filter Queen. I'm looking around at them but there seems to be many and I'm not sure of the amperage of the different models. I have found a couple in the $25 range and I might pop for one of them if I knew which one to buy.

    Les, what model Filter Queen is it that you are using. I'm curious. There a many on eBay for sale. One new one still in box for only $1200. But there is another one for $25. Lots to choose from. It might be nice to know which one you are using.

    Check these out. Lots to choose from. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=monster+truck+scroll+saw+patterns&qpvt=monster+truck+scroll+saw+patterns&FORM=IGRE

    By the way, I say Bing because I stopped using Google. They are just tooooo intrusive.

    Do a Bing search and then click on images. There should be a ton to choose from and then just put it into the picture converter that was mentioned here on Pattern making forum.

    Welcome back Herrwood, I hope you get back into the swing of things. I know exactly what you are going through as I sold everything to go full-time RVing. But, after we landed again, I had to buy all new stuff. Harbor Freight and Craigslist have become my two best friends. Well, with the exception of the folks here on The Village.

    There is the problem with no bathroom too Paul.

    I have the Fein. I bought it used. It has the HEPA filter in it. I also bought a Wen air cleaner. I run a 20" box fan with furnace filters. I wear a dusk mask. I still have some residual dust that accumulates in my shop. I can't figure out anything else to do so I'll just have to put up with it. Bottom line though, I catch a ton of the dust right at the saw and that is all I ever wanted.

    I guess living in So Cal ain't so bad afterall. So sorry for your loss. If any. Now you have some maple to cut.

    I did download and open both files. Thanks.

    I did this: I have a small 2" square but you can use a square block of wood. Place it behind the blade and up against it. With the power off find a way to rotate the motor shaft so that the blade goes up and down one cycle. This will tell you how much the blade moves forward and backward. Loosen the bolts tha hold the motor in place so that you can turn the motor. Keep checking the blade movement and try to get it so it moves as little as possible. That would be the least aggresive. You can actually remove the 3 bolts and move the motor to the next slot if you have to. It's not hard to do this adjustment. If I haven't made myself clear, just say so and I'll try to help. You can also do all this with the motor running on the slowest setting and "eyeballing the movement of the blade.

    Thanks Brenda, believe me, I can feel the love. This is a true sanctuary. My favorite place to be when I'm not scrolling. Sometimes it's really hard to break away from here. I love "The Village" and all those in it. Thanks Travis for creating this place. I, for one, would not know what to do if we ever lost it.

    Dan, if you ever feel a need to chat, please feel free to PM me through the Village message board. I'd be happy to talk with you.

    I'm sorry for your loss. My youngest son was born with the cord wrapped around his neck. If the doctor had not induced labor, he might have not made it. Thanks for your thoughts.
  16. OCtoolguy
    Don't feel bad. Nobody knew. With exception of a couple of folks.

    What is the material? Very nice job of cutting.
  18. OCtoolguy
    Great job.

    All of your kind comments are testaments as to why I posted this in the first place. All of you wonderful people have truly become my family. I hope I didn't bring sadness to such a joyful place. I just needed to vent some of my grief. Thank you all for giving me that opportunity. You are truly my Village.

    Dan, I'm sorry for your loss too. You're right. They say only time will heal our wounds but we will never forget. My problem comes in when I think of whether there was something we missed that we could have done to head it off.
  21. OCtoolguy
    I guess I might have misunderstood you in your first post. I thought you were low on the blade end. If you had too much spread and wanted to lessen it to get even, then yes, you'd have to turn it CCW. But whatever you did, you shouldn't have run out of threads.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Thanks. This is my place to come to for some solace.

    Go to top right corner where your picture is. Click the down arrow, move down to settings. There is a signature place there.

    A couple of years ago or so, I suggested that everybody post their names so we don' t have to refer to them by their avatar name. Thanks Gary. Good to know you.
  25. OCtoolguy
    It might be nice to know your name.
