    Edward, praying that it all goes well for you and your wish of same day scrolling does happen. Hang tough.

    Ya know what, most folks, myself included feel that it's a compliment to be asked for their help or advice. And, for me, I know it makes me feel good to be able to help someone who is in need. So, stop feeling like you are "bothering" folks. Just ask them. If they blow you off, that tells you that you probably don't need them in your life anyway. Other people join groups for not only the friendship and camaraderie but also to learn from others. Whenever I get interested in a new hobby, the first thing I do is go out and find forums like this one so I have folks to ask for help and advice. So far, I've never been disappointed and I have never been told I'm a bother.

    And they are great for rounding off the head of a bolt.

    Happy 4th too all my SSV friends. And all you Brits, get back to work. LOL!

    Very nice work. Thanks for posting.

    That's the one. Thanks so much.

    I am curious as to why Kansas City though. Any particular reason? I can think of at least a thousand other places to move to.

    The picture is the cover photo for the Tri City Scrollers and Woodcrafters group on Facebook. I have tried to contact them to see where I can find the pattern but so far, I haven't heard anything back. Thanks for all your help folks. I'll keep trying.

    Thanks Russell but I went and looked. I didn't see it but there are some great patterns.

    I just saw this on FB and I shot a quick screen shot of it. I'd love to cut it out. Anybody seen it before?

    Good luck with the sale Ike. I hope you have grand time.

    Tony, what is your impression of the Pegas clamps. I was thinking about a set for my Dewalt up until I bought the EX. Now, I may be selling the Dewalt so it's on hold.

    Get those straws quickly before they become outlawed. The whackos are trying desperately to take off the market.

    Sam, it's the nylon screw just forward and below the tension lever. It is how you adjust the tension lever's stop.

    Was that the day you went on the ferris wheel at the local amusement park Paul? LOL

    My first and biggest challenge is how to get the saw out of and back into my shop. I don't have room for a ramp and the drop from the shop floor down to the concrete driveway is about 5-6 inches. So, with that in mind, I need someone with a creative mind to help me design something that is mobile and can get in and out of the shop. I'm thinking something with about 6" soft rubber or inflatable wheels on the heavy end with handles to help tilt the saw for moving. With wheels on only one end, it would be more stable once down on the driveway. I'm thinking of some sort of a box configuration wide enough to put the wheels inboard. I have a Dewalt portable table saw on a Dewalt stand that has rubber/metal wheels and I don't have any trouble getting it in and out. So, I'll have to see if I can duplicate that design in some way. I want the saw to sit low for sitting down while sawing and also to keep the center of gravity low.

    Thanks Tony. Actually, I have had the exact opposite experience with the power tools that I have bought from them. But......I always bring whatever I buy home and go over it thoroughly. If not up to snuff, I return it or exchange it. That has only happened twice. The last time was for a biscuit joiner. It was sloppy loose. I went back to the store and found one that was made very well. I exchanged the bad one for the good one. No questions asked. They did tag the one I brought back and put it in the back room. With that said, I fully understand what you are saying about the thickness of the steel that is in that stand and I will take a very good look at it before I buy it. There really has to be a big difference in the stands when one sells for $40 and the other sells for $125. I do think that the expensive one is vastly overpriced though. I would think somewhere in the $75-80 range might be more like it. I'll take a look at Woodcraft Store. I do like to patronize them when I can but sometimes they are just way overpriced on some stuff.

    Lots of images running through my head right now. You just added another one. Thanks.

    Kevin, while it's on the top of your head, go buy one, put it in a bag, label it and put it with you EX parts. I took the hold down off of mine and put it with all my saw pieces and parts.

    I found that the nylon screw on my EX was mushroomed very badly and when I looked at parts on Seyco, they get $16 for a lever/screw kit. Plus shipping and tax. I went to Ace Hardware and bought a 2" 1/4-20 nylon screw for $.59 and it is long enough to make two screws out of it. All I had to do was to cut a slot in one end of it for a flat blade screwdriver. Works great.

    I like that design but I would want the single leg in front toward me. I like to straddle it. I did the same thing with stand I built for my Dewalt. I'm so pressed now for space with 3 saws that I want to make the EX a mobile saw that I can roll out of my shop. The problem with my shop is the floor is elevated about 6 inches off the surface of my driveway so I have to figure out some way to get it in and out. I don't have room for a ramp.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Kevin, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I see they have a couple of different stands and I'm looking at this one.
  23. OCtoolguy
    I am thinking about putting my EX on a H/F stand and making it portable. I looked at the one from General International and it sure does look like a H/F. Just curious as to whether anybody has used a H/F stand.

    I've never used any of their sprays.

    What is it that you don't like about MinWax?
