    Start by removing the table so you can see everything from above. Then print off a copy of the parts breakdowns and have them close at hand. I don't think it will be too hard to figure it out. Another thing, if it still runs at all, try to isolate where the sound is coming from. Use a mechanics stethoscope if you have one or a wooden dowel held to the saw in different places and softly put up to your ear. The sound will transmit. A rubber hose or tube will work too. Do the arms still go up and down? How are you trying to add the video files. If you have them saved to your computer, it's just a matter of adding them right down at the bottom where it says "choose files". They will attach to your post.

    And another runs a sawmill. A very eclectic family.

    "pots" as in pots & pans.

    Why do I think you are referring to pans in your kitchen cupboard?

    I stropped a pocket knife once with a piece of notebook paper to a mirror finish.

    I tried to study the drawing and it looks like you have to disassemble everything in order to take it apart. A piece at a time. I'd like to be able to see it in person. Can you take some good pics of it from all sides? It may be as simple as the motor shaft coming loose from the driven piece it connects to. There are two allen screws that clamp the mechanism to the motor's shaft. There are 2 holes on the top that give you access to those two screws. The instructions say to install the motor you have to insert the shaft into the driven shaft and before locking those 2 screws down to insert and install the 4 bolts that hold the motor to the frame. Then tighten the 2 screws. Read all the instructions and they may give you some idea of how to dismantle the rest of it.

    Excalibur EX24

    OCtoolguy posted a scroll saw review in Scroll Saw Reviews

    Ok, I found an owner's manual and downloaded it. Once you get it downloaded, take a good look at how the saw works. There many places that it could have broken but I'd start with the motor first. Does it still run? You should be able to see by these pics how it goes together and from that you will be able to take it apart. The problem you will run into is if it's more than a bearing or bolt, you may not be able to find parts for it. Try contacting Ray Seymour at Seyco.com and see if he can help you. He's the guru for Excalibur saws but not sure about the old ones. Excalibur-24-Precision-Saw-Operating-and-Maintenance-Instructions_copy.pdf

    I just tried to watch your video clips and one of them is of a Briggs and Stratton engine. The other one is of nothing. And I tried to listen to you audio files but was not about to hear anything meaningful. But, from what you have said so far, it sounds like you broke a bolt that goes through one of the inner drive bearings or the crankshaft/bell crank itself. You should be able to remove the side cover on one side and see something on the inside. I'm not sure what the EX24 looks like but if is anything like a 21 that's how they are. I'll try to find a picture of one.

    Hello from sunny Southern California, U.S.A. You have been given some very good information in all of the above. I've got two early Excaliburs prior to their selling out to mainland China. Those saws are not what you want. My Excaliburs are great saws. I also have a Hegner and it is bulletproof. I'm not sure if you have much of a used market over there but do some shopping around and you might find a good used saw that someone got frustrated and is selling it rather than learning how to use it. Again, welcome to the scroll Saw Village. We are a friendly group no matter which saw you choose. Just have fun! That's what it is all about.

    Shaft size, length and ohm rating is about all you need. Oh, and how the knob attaches. Push on or set screw on flat side of shaft. You might see if it would be possible to "seal" it in some way.

    My "confused" reaction wasn't that I'm confused it was just to denote that it was a question awaiting an answer.

    Most of what I make would not look good made of plywood. But these were made of bb.

    Ever since the war broke out in Ukraine the Baltic countries have been in turmoil so we're lucky to be getting any wood at. Supplies have dwindled to a fraction of what they were. Time heals all.

    I was looking at the many accessories that should fit that router. Lot's of neat stuff. I never thought about checking the power needs on it. I hope it's 110 a.c.
  19. OCtoolguy
    Will do. And thanks again. I have been surfing their website and found way too many things to buy. I hate buying from off shore but at these prices, it's tough not to.

    When I did mine, I ran into the same problem as you so I took all 3 bolts out and ran the saw on low and turned the motor in both directions until I got it to the best spot. That's how I know about it making the knocking noise if you go too far. No damage was done and I got mine (both saws) tuned to the optimal setting. I used the foot pedal to run the saw while holding the motor in both hands to keep it stable.

    Hey Scott, nice to hear from you. I do follow you on your FB site. It looks like you're truly taking this scroll saw/puzzle thing seriously. LOL. Great display and nice product selection. You should do very well once you get back in the groove.
  22. OCtoolguy
    I buy from them too and have never had a bad piece of wood. Something's fishy. Maybe it was slipped in as a backer to protect the wood in shipment.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Bob. I did as you said and got it for $20. Free shipping even. Wow! Can't beat a deal like that.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Where? I went to the temu website.
  25. OCtoolguy
    You did good. I just went and checked it out and it's $50 now.
