    I have found that other than SSV the other forums really lack any activity. I have tried to use them but when I ask a question, weeks, sometimes months go by without any replies. Here, I ask a question and then just sit back a few minutes and I get feedback. This is by far the best forum I have ever atttended. And I belong to many forums on many subjects. I love this place and I LOVE this group of folks. Thanks Travis. And thanks to all of you for being who you are.

    Well, if you have the means and a Home Depot card, go buy a brand new one. We opened a new HD account a couple of weeks ago and they gave us $100 credit immediately. That would make that saw pretty cheap. And if you want, you can put it on their payment plan where there's no interest for 18 months as long as you make the monthly payments. That's what I'd be doing.

    I also use Comodo but I don't have the other one. I use Avast, the free version and Comodo. I have been known to run Malwarebites too.

    Very nice work David. I love all that 3-D look.

    Go look at it and throw a ridiculous offer at the seller. They can either say yes or no. Nothing lost but time and gas. If you can get it down under $100, then it's worth taking a flyer.

    What software are you using for protection?

    Well, if you can get it cheaper, maybe it's worth the trip. I just purchased an EX 21 in mint condition with a couple hundred dollars worth of blades for $300. Mine was made in 2011. I know that it's tough to let an Excalibur get away but I'd wait for the right one to come along.

    That one is WAYYY old. You can see how the motor is located under the saw rather than at the back. I'm not even sure you could buy parts for that one. Check with Ray Seymour at Seyco. If you can come up with a serial number that would be helpful too. Personally, I'd keep on looking.

    Wha browser are you using? On mine, I can see up in the address bar what is happening and make adjustments on the fly. I use Chrome.
  10. OCtoolguy
    You want to determine it's age. The early Excaliburs have a completely different motor location. Can you provide a picture?

    Thanks Innar. I take it that you went to this site and found no problems? I hope so. I never give that a thought.

    Russ, I have a very close friend who is involved in live steam up in Junction City. He helped restore the train over in Sumpter. Do you know anybody over that way?

    Prayers all around Iggy. I hope it all works out as best as possible. Get back to making sawdust.

    I just found this foreign language site that is pretty interesting. You have to allow your browser to translate it and some of it won't make sense but pictures and videos are worth a thousand words. I found a couple of things worth my time. https://vk.com/as23as77

    I'm with ya on that Paul. I hate phones. Any make, kind or style. They are terrible. And when they decided to make a phone do more than a phone should, they got even more intrusive. I was married to my cell when I was in business but it was the old-fashioned flip phone. Nothing else. Now you have to have a computer, a camera AND a phone. And, I have walked off from someone who did that to me.

    I decided that it was a mystery worth persuing so I went there and instead of clicking on the archived patters, I clicked on the link above that and managed to find all the archived files but they are on a different site. Strange set up if you ask me but I'm not in charge. Anyway, there are tons of archived patterns to choose from and that one is there for sure.
  17. OCtoolguy
    Opi, don't feel bad. I spent quite a bit of time searching there also and never did find it. SAD!

    Russ, you are living where there are many trees, mills, etc. Down where I live, we aren't allowed to water so everything is dying. I will try to locate someone who does as you suggest. I put out a request on Facebook a couple of years ago for any cabinet shops that might have scraps. I got so much bogus help that I wished I had never asked. And, I got no wood. I can see why so many of you folks use 1/8" BB as it seems to be the cheapest to buy. The stuff that I'm into right now requires more solid wood. I'm pretty much of a cheapskate ever since we retired and have to live on a fixed income of sorts. No pension here.

    What Heppnerguy said. I tinkered with mine yesterday after reading all the last few postings and got mine to where it is so close to perfect....well you get the idea. I may be selling my Dewalt soon. Then, it will be on to learning the Hegner. I still haven't got that speed/start issue resolved. But, I will and then I may learn to love the Heg like the EX.

    Check out coin cutting if cutting metal winds your crank. Too much for my old eyes but for some, it's a real satisfying hobby. Intarsia was what grabbed me too but I don't want anything that requires a lot of sanding or dust. It requires another whole set of tools besides sandpaper. I have found a bunch of things that I want to scroll. My biggest drawback is the cost of wood. That has become a major factor when trying to fit them into the budget.

    If you capture the pic in jing than open that file in Irfanview, you can do anythng you might want to do.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Les, do you have Irfanview? If not, download it. It's free and there is an image resizer built into it.
  23. OCtoolguy
    I just did a quick google images and found this. I thought it might help with the correct font for the name.

    The same aisle as "sky hooks".

    I've had the problem most all of my life. Measure twice? Surely you jest. I've got it wired. Hey, why is this board too short? DUH! '
