Understand there is no rule that says you have to identify the creator of a pattern. It's just good etiquette.

The purpose of using an oil on wood is to bring out the natural color and grain of the wood. Baltic birch plywood does not have much color or grain to it. Plywoods with a hardwood face will indeed benefit of using an oil, but those that use a soft wood face like Baltic birch will only turn yellow or Amber.Any oil will not protect the wood and will need a topcoat of your choice. I prefer a semi gloss spray lacquer.

Yup, it's a Craftman screw driver from Sears. Actually, every new DeWalt saw comes with a tool to open the fuse box. It's in the box, but the manual doesn't say what it's used for, and most folks toss in the trash, or if they save it, don't remember where they put it. DAHIKT.

Everything has already been said! I hope you are getting a pretty penny for that! -
Very nice work Roly! I love all those "works in progress" on your table saw!

So Ralph, if changing the fuse doesn't solve the problem, it is probably the switch. If that's the case, I'll talk you through cleaning it.

For those that don't know how to do it, here's a couple of pics.

Hey Ralph, on top of the black fuse box is a small slot. You need a very small flat blade screw driver. Fit into that small slot and push down. The fuse holder will pop right out.

Don't worry Travis, this is where I hang now!

Welcome to the forum Paul. You know the old saying "you get what you pay for"? Well this applies to you too. I don't know your saw but at that price, it can't be a good machine. The advice already giving will solve your problem, but you already have s good indication of the quality of your saw.

"Scrollsaw Woodworking And Crafts" is a magazine dedicated to scroll saw. It comes out four times a year. They have what was once a very active forum of which I am a member. They recently changed the forum platform and is now struggling to work out the bugs.

There's nothing wrong with using a block or piece of wood to hold up the arm, but for me is unnecessary. I am a top feeder. I have no reason to hold the arm up mechanically to change a blade or to feed it into the next hole. To change a blade I just feed the blade through the fret hole, then the table hole, then mount it to the top blade clamp. Then mount the blade to the bottom clamp and tension. No need to raise the arm. To change to another fret hole, release the tension, release the bottom blade clamp. With one hand raise the upper arm, move the blank into position, let gravity lower the upper arm while guiding the blade into the hole with the other hand. Then tighten the blade clamp and add tension. It take longer to explain it than to actually do it! This process work well for most fret work but may not work well when using spiral blades with very tiny holes.
