    Kev, if the hard drive is still intact you didn't lose your data. It's recoverable.

    Ditto to what has already been said. I also use Cherokee Wood Products here in So Cal. Great service and price. No charge for custom milling.

    IF I were in the market for a saw, either a first saw or a replacement, and funds were limited, I would buy one from Harbor Freight. It seems that so far there are no negative comments on their new saw. As long as they will supply parts that is.
  4. OCtoolguy
    Not sure where that might be. Can you elaborate?

    Reading everything you guys have written makes me wish we could all start over again. I too took all those same claases in high school. The powers that be did a huge disservice to the youngsters when they discontinued all the classes that truly counted. I wonder how many folks use algebra in their everyday lives. It's still required. Duh! So sad what has happened to our school systems.

    I'm not sure what I'm looking at in your pics. Maybe not so close up or another pic or 2 showing what area the pics are looking at. I'm a bit confused about what you are fixing now. Maybe Kevin gets it but I don't.

    When facing the saw from the operator position, on the left side at rear there are some bolts. One of the has a slot in it and a lock nut. Loosen the lock nut and turn the bolt/screw with a flt screw driver. Once loosened the upper arm should move through it's entire range freely. Now go back and slowly turn the screw back in until there is just enough drag on the arm to hold it in the up position. Now lock the nut while holding the screw at that point. There should just be enough drag to hold the arm up. I hope this helps. I may have missed but where was your saw made? Canada, Taiwan or China are the only 3 choices. If it came from China, I'd definitely talk to Kevin about what to change out. Since you got your money back you have wiggle room to fix the saw up and have a good machine when finished.

    I have removed every guard from every tool I own. It makes me be more alert and not depend on things that either don't work or just plain get in the way. So far I have all my digits and everything I was born with.

    I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. Before doing anything permanent, I'd check with the cemetery to see what they suggest. They may have rules regarding what can be done. You did a very nice job on that cutting. Your friend would be proud.

    That's the exact mask I've been using for almost 10 years. I've never changed the filters. Not sure when or how to know if they need changing. I can still breathe through them just fine. I also have an overhead air cleaner right above my saws.

    Ever since someone tampered with the Tylenol bottle 50 years ago, things have gone down hill. Please, in my lifetime, get back to sensible easy-open containers. And Kevin you are so right about squeeze bottles. It's all or nothing.

    I have Gmail and I've been getting his email almost every day for many years.

    6 hours ago, rjweb said: I beleive what you need to do is measure the distance of the arm ( from table top to under arm height) at the back of the table, and at the front they should be equal, RJ Yes, measure the underside of the arm to make sure it is the same both fore and aft. Once correct your blades should be long enough to install in clamps.
  14. OCtoolguy
    Would be possible for you to take some pics of your saw, including i.d. plate and part needed?
  15. OCtoolguy
    Ours too and it seems to cut like wood with no melting.
  16. OCtoolguy
    That's what I was thinking too.

    10 hours ago, sheri said: Looking for blade clamp for delta scroll saw 40 150 15" The part no is 40-155 Or a substitute part that will fit. Sheri, from what I have read those have been unavailable for quite some time. I don't know if there is a workaround or not. Sorry.

    That knob on top at rear is NOT for tensioning. It is only to adjust the arm height so that arm is parallel to table. Leave it alone once set. Tensioning is automatically set once blade is installed and lever is flipped. I have 2 Excaliburs and they both have Pegas clamps.

    This is a very old post. I doubt anybody will follow up on it.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Very nice Dan.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Why do they want something so difficult to read? Had to ask?
  22. OCtoolguy
    Well said J.T. please add my name to it. Thank you Steve for all you do and have done for the world of scrollsawing.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Very nice. I think I'd like to try one. Yours is outstanding.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Try it without the foot switch. Eliminate that possibility.

    I remember seeing my name on my military fatigue shirts in boot camp. No great. Lol.
