Looks like fun Ray, but you should post this in works in progress.

Looks great Steve. Love the pastel colored eggs!

This is a prime example of never trusting the.miter gauge or angle gauge. I always use a machinist square or a protractor to set the blade square to the table.

It’s looking good Dan!

I think you can call yourself an Intarsia expert Now Jim!

Nice work!

Unless the threads are stripped, all you really need to do is dress the tips of the thumb screw. This applies to all of the EX type saws including DeWALT, the newer Deltas, king and even the Pegas. Take a 3 or 4” square piece of hardwood or BB. Drill a hole with a drill press in the center. Use a bit slightly smaller than the threads of the thumb screw. Screw the thumb screw into the hole making sure it screws straight into the jig till it just barely protrudes out the bottom. Then, rub it on some 220 grit sand paper till the tip is no longer shiny. This should be a routine maintenance thing to do. I do this every two to three weeks without any degradation to the thumb screw.

That is so cool, something to be proud of!

Great project Doc!
-
Impressive cut Denny!
-
An interesting project for sure. Not something that I would do, but I applaud you for cutting it!

Unfortunately, there is no Ace nearby.

My go to finish is a semi gloss Lacquer. I like the Deft brand. Unfortunately nobody locally carries it anymore. I have to order it online.

Wonderful stuff Ron!
-
Great looking projects Mike!
-
Beautiful work Ron! You always do great work!

It looks great Ray. In my opinion, you always want a topcoat. Not necessarily for a shine, but to protect the piece. Dust tends to stick to an unfinished surface more that a finished piece.

That is the first EX after the design change. Made by Excalibur. It’s probably close to twenty years old. It will probably need new bearings and sleeves. Current parts should fit. $400 is way too much. Might be a good buy at $250.
-
That’s a new one! I hope it didn’t cost to much to figure that out!
-
You did a wonderful job on that Gordon!
-
Well in that case, I’ve always been prepared!
-
Thanks for the reminder Travis!
-
You are doing some amazing work in both tools Brenda! It’s been fun watching your progress and excelling!
