Yeah, after looking at the ad for your light, I realized it was a floor lamp. Not good as I swing mine out of the way after every cut and am able to focus it where I need in on the flex arm.

Paul, I have a H/F light and it has a glass lens. I also upgraded the bulb to an LED. It works fine. I also have a light that Rockytime put me onto way back from an eBay vendor for $25. It is my favorite. It came with an LED bulb and a great lens. I'd buy another one if I could ever find one like it for the same price.

And even then you can't be sure. We all know you can't trust lawyers or used car salesmen.

All-around good day. Happy that her procedure went well. I'll have to run by our Hobby Lobby tomorrow and see if they have the same deal.

Check with Denny Knappen. I know he sells them in all popular sizes.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have an air cleaner going all the time, I use a respirator mask with the proper filters on it and I have dust control on all of my saws. When I work out on my driveway, I have a 16 gallon shop vac with a dustopper that I hook to my table saw and router. I try very hard to keep the dust under contol and to keep it out of my lungs. My hearing is pretty well shot so I don't wear any hearing protection. Probably should have years ago but the days of the drag strip and Art Arfons' jet dragster pretty much took care of my hearing. Oh well, I can get along without that but I have to breathe.

It's weird but now, at 79, I look at many things I'd love to have but then I step back and ask myself just how much use I'd get with the few years I have left. I look for deals on used equipment and if I find something at a price that fits my age I'll buy it.

If my wife tells me that she has to pick out a few birthday cards when we go shopping, I stay home. I've spent too much time leaning on the shopping cart waiting for her to do that. Not any more.

Not sure what the "internal timer" is about. Is that what tells it to run for 15 seconds? I have mine running through a dust deputy too but after I built the on-board systems I stopped using the Fein for that purpose. I use it now just for general shop cleanup.

DeWalt Planer Chip / Dust Collection?
OCtoolguy replied to kmmcrafts's topic in General Scroll Sawing
He wants to be able to fold the table up. Not sure why that's so important. -
Were you using a cyclone if any type?
-
I'm curious about the bandsaw. What makes them more dangerous than a table saw?
-
There are many threads here on The Village all about dust collection. I know I've seen a few youtube vids regarding the subject and there was one particularly aimed at Hawks. Also, @Rolf has a nice setup on his Hawk. For myself, I have 2 Excaliburs and a Hegner and I've incorporated MetroVac500 car vacs into each saw so that each saw can be moved and still have it's own onboard dust collection. There is nothing finer than scroll saw dust. It will KILL a regular shop vac so it's very important that you incorporate some sort of cyclone into the system you design. I've been using a mini cyclone that I purchased from Amazon/Aliexpress for under $20 ea and they work great.

Paul, I have read about folks putting the blades in upside down and thought to myself, I would NEVER do that. But strangely, it just happened the other day. Somehow, the blade twisted in my fingers and waddayaknow, it wouldn't cut worth a darn. LOL.
-
Wow! That's really beautiful!
-
I made this for a friend out of 3/4" & 1/2" red oak. The "rings" were all cut from one board. Cut like butter using Pegas #5 mgt.
-
Welcome Jerry. Glad you found us. Be sure to show us some of your work. We ALL love pics!
-
Looks good. Where'd you get your CNC router? Lol
-
Nothing surprises me anymore in our strange new world.
-
Beautiful work Dan. I would love to be able to do that.
-
As usual Paul, you amaze me.
-
Sorry. Not familiar.
-
Very well done. Steve should be proud of what you have done with his patterns.
-
John, those are beautiful. I am in awe of your work.

Excalibur blade hold down T-bolts T-bolts
OCtoolguy replied to Eplfan2011's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Common problem. It's called hockey sticks. The first thing you need to do is make sure the anvil side (set screw) is protruding into the blade slot about 1 thread. Do this top and bottom. Using some blue Lok-Tite to keep it there. Once you have a blade locked in place check that the blade is in alignment top to bottom. Once that's done check that it is square to the table.
