    I have a few Bauer tools and have no bad words for them. Right now I'm in the process of rebuilding the battery for my B & D hand vac. We have 3 of them. The batteries are not factory serviceable but can be rebuilt. So I bought a spot welder for putting together the battery packs. No reason to dump any cordless tool unless it is worn out. The batteries are ALL rebuildable. And I find it to be fun. Thank God for Youtube.

    Impeccable as always. You have mastered a thing that I still am lacking in. The art of finishing. Once the cutting is finished, the fun is over for me.

    Wow, you have more screws than Ace Hdwe. I hope you heal fast with no residual pain. I've got a neuroma on my right foot that needs to be fixed but the warning of no driving for 2 mos. has kept me from doing it.

    Well, maybe once they get the state all wired up to the grid, things will change. For now, you just are limited to the peddle style of saws.

    RJ, there Hegners near me for sale all the time. There was one just last week marked down from $300 to $150. It's gone now but there are a couple others still. They are usually the 18 inch models but I've seen a few 22 inchers. None of them over $700.

    I've purchased a few things from Temu but not any wood. So far I've been very happy with the things I've bought.

    How did you arrive at your pricing? That's always given me pause. I always look at something and ask myself how much I'd pay for the item. I'm a tough sell so that stops me from selling my stuff. Maybe I'm selling myself short. Hmmmm!

    Good for you. Never stop learning.

    Congrats, enjoy.

    That should not be necessary. Going any farther might start to make things worse.

    You did well and probably will never need another saw.

    There is a way of adjusting the motor that should bring your blade clamps into alignment. It requires loosening the 3 bolts that hold the motor to the saw and rotating the motor. Some saws actually require moving the motor to the next set of holes. There is much info available but I think you might be well served by calling Ray at Seyco.com. He is the guru on Excalibur saws. Check his website for the phone number.

    Congrats to both of you with your new saws. As for Bear Woods, I ordered some blades from them many years ago and it took a month. I don't know what keeps them in business. Sad!

    It clashes with your saw. Gonna have to paint one them to match.

    How about a brand name or a picture?

    There is nothing more that I can add to what has already been said. We have lost a GIANT in the world of scrolling. Nothing or nobody can take his place. I offer up my prayers for his family and hope that he rests in peace. God must have needed someone up in Heaven to teach the art and make more patterns. We can all look forward to seeing what he has created when we get up there. Miss you Steve.

    Just wait. Eventually, Amazon will take over mail delivery. Same-day service. You do nice work. I don't have the patience nor do I want the required sanding or dust.
  18. OCtoolguy
    Prayers going up.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Yes, a pic is worth a thousand words.

    What Kevin said. Quick fix.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Hang in there Steve. Don't worry about us. Let us worry about you. There is a ton of love and respect coming at you from the scroll saw community. You have done so much to support the hobby.

    I'm still using my H/F with an led bulb upgrade.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Steve, concentrate on your health and recuperation. We will all be here waiting for your return and praying for you.

    I'm on the left coast and buy my wood from Cherokee Wood Products. They have a section on their website just for scroll saw wood. I bought walnut in 1/4 inch by 12 wide. They even did some custom planing for me when I needed 3/8". If you call them ask for Chris. He runs their online sales.

    Take your time and photograph every step as you tear into it. You can look back when reassembling it. I know that Kevin @kmmcrafts did his and posted some great info on how to do it. I did my Dewalt that is very similar but the Ex is just enough different to make it more difficult. The suggestion to upgrade to Pegas blade clamps is a good one. I have them on both of my Ex's and would never go back. You were ready to spend a ton of money to have your saw rebuilt so $100 is nothing. You should have a great saw for less than the cost of a few dinners out with the family.
