    Dave, you got my curiosity up so I went looking for that font. I googled it as scroll script MT and couldn't find it. I tried it as scrollsaw script MT and found it but I have no idea how to go about getting it. I found it on Pinterest and that site baffles the heck out of me. I find stuff there and click on it. Then it takes me off into NeverNeverLand. Where might I find it? I want to add it to my fonts. R

    You folks simply amaze me. You look at a font and recognize it. They all look as much alike as they are different. Still trying to saw. Don't have time to learn fonts too. Dave, you are the "font" man. R

    Hey Brad, you might start looking around for a "potty chair" to sit in while sawing. Just a suggestion. Ha!

    When you "crank" down on the lock knob, does it lock the trunnion tight? Is there a possibility that the lock know screw is bottoming out and not truly locking the trunnion. I'm trying to envision what it is that you are experiencing. It's such a simple design that it should be fool proof.

    Can you post a pic or two of what you are talking about? I have a Dewalt but it should be the same.

    Glad to hear of another new Hegner owner. I too am one and still getting used to it. My only complaint at this point is the soft/slow start up. I'm not sure if mine has a problem or not and I have been trying to locate someone near me who has one and tells me that they have no problem with that aspect. I want to compare mine to theirs so I know if I'm chasing something that is normal or if I have a problem saw. I really like everything else about it. It is a very different animal from my Dewalt and I like it too. Like having two women who both satisfy you but in different ways. OH! I know I'm going to get it for that comment. R

    I would also be looking for excess vibration. Mine had some vibration problems that were corrected by disassembling it and checking for loose screws or bolts. It turned out that mine had the main drive bolt coming loose. I tightened that up and cured most of my vibration. The rest was just in cleaning and repacking the bearings in all joints. If it runs smoothly and cuts as it should, $250 is not a bad price. I paid that same amount for mine and it came with the factory stand and light. I use neither of them anymore though. I built my own stand and I bought a H/F magnifier lamp. Good luck with your negotiations but try to get it for less than the asking price. R

    I walk into walls a lot.

    Too much power. I'm so sorry for this answer. I truly thought someone was joking about their "old" saw. So, I was being my stupid self and putting forth a stupid answer. Very sorry for that.

    You have been extremely lucky in your purchases. I have found some great deals on C/L too but not like yours. R

    Les, at our age, we only have one oar anymore. R

    That's great Brad. I hope you get back to full steam soon. But, baby steps is what it's all about. Baby steps.

    I can only speak for myself. I bought a used Dewalt 788 type 1. I love it. Had to do some service on it but worth it. Not sure about the arm on the Delta but either way, you can fix that for $25 or less. Just for the sheer sake of parts I'd go with the Dewalt but I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Have you watched the Craigslist in your area? I see used Dewalts all the time for anywhere from $150 to $450. Of course, you can buy a new one for $450 most anywhere. Best of luck on the one you choose. R

    Thanks Katie for that link. That looks like the best and most economical way to go. At least for now. Maybe after I get my tax refund check (ha ha) I'll invest in the more expensive kind. R
  15. OCtoolguy
    Thanks Ike. I think I will go with one of them too. I had a really good Dewalt variable speed ros but it got sold when we sold out everything to go out on the road. There are things that I truly regret selling but that's all in the rear view mirror now. R
  16. OCtoolguy
    What brand do you have? Are they variable speed or does it matter?
  17. OCtoolguy
    I like that idea. Thanks. Maybe I don't need a sander.
  18. OCtoolguy
    I'm thinking of one of those little "mouse" type sanders. Lightweight, not to overpowering, and so on. Thanks all. Sorry for bringing this up again. R \

    John T. it was me that brought it up the last time but I can't seem to find it again. I never have any luck with the "search" feature on forums. Anyway, thanks for bringing it up.

    I have a H/F R/O sander. One speed. Hi! Too powerful and no way to slow it down. So, I'm in the market to buy another sander. I'm looking at either a mouse palm sander or a R/O sander with variable speed. Which one do most of you folks have, how do you like it and why? R

    I used Firefox for many years but they kept updating and changing things. Too many things stopped working. I switched over to Chrome (begrudgingly) and haven't had a problem since. That's been about 4 years now. I use Roboform as my password/I.D. keeper and it works with Chrome so all is good. Give it a try. R
  22. OCtoolguy
    Here is what I see.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Well, I'm using Chrome and it reads fine. Maybe a setting in your browsers is set wrong. Not sure what to say. R
  24. OCtoolguy
    That's strange Jes. I use Chrome and it came through fine. I was surprised at the ".website" extension though.
  25. OCtoolguy
    Well John, it looks like a great start. But, there is only one "m" in "coming". Other than that, you're off to a great start. R
