    Rocky, I just went to this website and you might be able to buy a board from the mfgr. Give it a shot. http://www.quantum-controls.com/standard-products/ Ray

    Rocky, I did a youtube search for how to troubleshoot that controller but found nothing. But, like someone else said, I'll bet if you took it to an electronics store someone there would be able to maybe put you in the right direction. I'll still bet it's something simple and cheap. Ray

    That's beautiful Dan. Thanks for sharing. I'm getting so many great ideas. Ray

    That's exactly what I'm afraid is going to happen. I got all fired up when I first started and bought way too many blades of differing types and brands. Now, I have to figure out what I actually will use. Probably get down to a half dozen or so. If that many. Ray

    Rocky, you don't need a schematic to test the components on the board. You can check resistors with an ohm meter. And a visual inspection of the pc board should show you if there is anything burned or cracked. Don't give up on it without at least letting someone who knows what's what to take a look at it. Exhaust all avenues before plunking down the cash. Does the saw run at all? Maybe the rocker switch is bad. Ray

    I've got one very similar to that one but I'm not sure if it's exactly like it. Same shape and configuration. The back rest is too short for me and I don't get any use out of it. The seat is too small for my butt and the back rest is too close to the seat. Other than that, it's perfect. Ha! If you lived closer, I'd give it to you. Ray

    I'm totally surprised Iggy. I figured you would just have one big box of all the same blade. You do pretty much use the same one for all your puzzle cutting don't you? Ray

    The turntable that came with my saw had 13 upright tubes made of 1/2" PVC. All I did was to drill 13 more holes in an inner circle back of the ones that were already there with a 3/4" forstner bit. I epoxied them in the holes. I am thinking it might be overkill at this point though. I'll bet that I'll end up using a half dozen different blades in the end. Oh well.....it was fun. Attached pics of carousel and the Hegner I picked up for $300. The carousel is meant to clamp onto one of the saw's legs but I'm not sure about it yet. Ray

    Good luck. I hope you get it. It sure is priced right. Keep us all updated. Ray

    Ok, Here's a new topic to chat about. At least it's new for me. How do all you more "seasoned" scroll sawers keep your blades organized. Pictures please. I am using three different brands at this point in time and I have bought them in sizes ranging from 2/0 to 7 and many different configurations of tooth patterns. I haven't done enough cutting yet to know which blades work for what so I have to have a way to keep them separated in some sort of organized order. I just finished making a turntable that has 26 tubes in two concentric circles. Actually, it came with my Hegner saw and I just made some additions to it. Not sure if I will keep it though. I just thought it might be an interesting topic for discussion here. Ray

    I did a Google search for them and was surprised at how many different variations there are. And, Staple does have them. I will have to drop over and see if they have any that I can try. Either that or I'm going to build a stand for the Hegner as I did for my Dewalt so I can just use the same chair for both. I don't seem to have the problem when sitting at my Dewalt. Thanks for your suggestion. Ray

    I like it. Plain and simple is the best way. Ray
  13. OCtoolguy
    I don't know. I'll have to check and get back to you. It was the cheapest on the shelf. Ray
  14. OCtoolguy
    If I want to buy one, where would I go? Is it a Staples item or a specialty? Ray
  15. OCtoolguy
    I can relate. 48 in and working on 49. I also have what they call "selective hearing". I seem to miss a lot. Ray
  16. OCtoolguy
    Well, I like the magnifier as much as the light. Just a suggestion. Ray

    Rocky, I bought mine at Walmart too and it doesn't say Duck on it. Still works great though and it was only $5.65 a roll. 12" x 36 feet if I recall. Ray

    I heard somewhere that the Chevy Volt is going to come out next year with a drill chuck in the front and a sander in the rear. Just sayin............. Ray

    Me too Rocky. I like it here so much that I don't get a lot done. Ray

    I dropped out of college physics class because I wasn't getting how to do logarithms on my slide rule. After the teacher had gone over it twice I asked him to do it one more time because I just wasn't understanding it. He told me that if I couldn't do it after twice, I'd never get it. That was my last day in college. I went out and found another way to make a living. Ray

    I can tell, you were never an air traffic controller were you?

    Thanks for that input there Scrappy. I love a man of few words. Ray

    I'd stay away from that chair. The back is way too low. My neighbors have bar stools with low backs like that and I can't sit on them for more than a few minutes before my back starts screaming. For my low saw, I have an old office chair that has a high back. It's the new one that I just bought. It's a Hegner on the tall stand and I tried standing by it yesterday for less than an hour before my back started hurting. I may have to forego the Hegner stand for another home made one like my Dewalt. I was hoping not to have to do that. Ray

    Tell me more Kevin. I don't understand what a 10's unit is. Ray

    My wife has prednizone around for her rheumatoid arthritis. Maybe I'll snag a couple of them from her. I know it's not a good drug to take on a regular basis. How about chiropracitic? How many of you do that? I used to go years ago but I decided I was being milked for my money. I want a couple of treatments then stop until needed again. No prolonged programs. Who has that kind of money? Ray
