Hey Denny, welcome to the Village! It's nice to see you over here. It's too bad what happened to that forum. I still visit about once a week to about maybe five new post. You are still a pillar there, but you will also be a welcome member here! So, come on in and join the fun!

All the saws that have lifting top arms have easy blade clamps.

Hey Danny, my name is Dan and I am a top feeder!! I started scrolling on a Dremel which was a bottom feeder. It used adapters to mount plain end blades. On average, it took three minutes to change form one hole to the next. I learned that the DeWalt saw had quick release clamps and a lifting arm that allows top feeding. Now, with the DeWalt saw, I can change from one hole to the next in ten to fifteen seconds! You don't have to lift the board off the table, you don't have to lean over to see the hole under the board. You don't have to see the clamp to tighten it, you do by feel. It's easy!

Welcome to the village Steve! My first saw was a dremel. It served me well for a couple of years. Then I upgraded to a DeWalt about 18 years ago. What a difference! It should serve you well.

Yes, as long as you have clean, square and flat edges. Apply an even bead of glue to each board. Use a glue brush or your finger to spread the glue evenly across both surfaces then clamp them together. Wait till the squeeze out tacks up, then using a chisel or a small putty knife scrape off the squeeze out. Let dry overnight then sand to clean up the joint.You might want to do a test run on some scrap to get the feel for it before trying on you expensive wood. Once the glue sets up, the joint will be stronger than the wood itself.

Do you have a jointer? Biscuits are not necessary. As long as you have straight, flat and clean joints, all you need is a good wood glue and clamps. Titebond II or Titebond III will do the trick. Yes, you can joint 1/2" wood on a jointer. You can also do it on a router table with shims. Look it up on YouTube. If properly done, the glue joint will be stronger then the wood. Will this be a stand up puzzle or a tray puzzle? If it is a stand up puzzle, 1/2" is not thick enough. You will need 3/4" or thicker.

Outstanding work Dan! What is your blade of choice?

Nice work Al! Can you tell us what blades you used?
