That's awsome, thank you very much. Ups delivered a box of birch plywood just today. Can't wait to start.

I rarely break blades anymore, they usually just get dull now.

One could perhaps flip over and router out the backer were words would go, cut words with backer in place then insert a plug from behind.

That should work multitom. Thanks everyone. Got some wood on order, once it comes it I'll get to cutting and post the results!

I've searched around but can't seem to find a 69-72 ford truck (bump side) I own one and would love to combine my love for scrolling and my truck. Has anyone seen one?

https://www.facebook.com/KimesKraft-941409072632924/ I started a page for my woodshop if you all wanna check it out here's the link.

Everyone talking about foot switch, I used mine for awhile then it found it's way to the shelf. I may have to get it out some time. I have a few magnets on the stand that I stick lightly used blades on, and I sit in an office chair with wheels so I can roll across floor to drill or where ever.

I use fd superior puzzle for ¼" and under.

Thank you bobby! Looks great!

Has any one ran across a pattern for Bob Seger? Friend wants me to cut one of him for her to give to her mom. First post in any forum here for me thanks Jason Kimes, from PA

This saw is proving difficult to cut on. Everytime I turn it on my eye's tear up because it runs and cuts so smooth.I'm so happy I bought it.

Oh my, that's a lot of pieces

Just got it home. Original receipt was in owners manual. It was ordered 11-27-2013. I guess the gentleman passed away in February.

This all started because I read a review that said if you can't aford a parallel arm a c-type arm will do. Well I remember back 20 years ago when the saw was new and it was more than a dewalt.

That's what I'm worried about kevin. That I don't know how good I have it now and buying this Excalibur will be just as good and not an improvement. I cut almost exclusively with FD superior puzzle blades and have no problems with vibration or 90° angle cuts.further more hearing about all the blade clamping issues is giving me cold feet.

His first price was $450, he came down $50. I'll cut for a few weeks and if I like it I will sell my other one for a few hundred and recoup some of money from it.

Well I found an 21" Excalibur 2 hrs from my house for $400. The gentleman claims his father used it for about a month before he passed away. My question is, is it worth it? I know its a good deal,but I have a saw and am not sure if it is that big of an upgrade. I have a Delta Q-3 with the carbon fiber arm. I was reading online and it said that the C type arm is of the poorest cutting saw,but described them as lower pivoting. My saw is rear center pivoting and I have had a lot of success. My saw was new in 1995 and has 3½ years of use on it. Any opinion? Need help!

This was a side project I recently made for my mother. I find that a lot of my bigger projects go that way. Maybe its my short attention span. Sometimes with things like this, I work on it so much that I can't stand to see it anymore.

Well let me start by saying it's good to be here and be in the company of so many great craftsmen. I recently spent some timr browsing through the photos of other members projects, and let me say they are inspiring to say the least. I enjoy scrolling,but its not my only interest. I also enjoy a variety of outdoor activities that include, but aren't limited too hunting,fishing,camping,hiking and riding my harley. I also enjoy reloading and have done a little light gunsmithing in the past. My family life can get a little busy. My wife of 12 years and I have 2 children, a girl of 10 year and a boy who is 7. We are currently expecting our 3rd,which we already know is a girl. She is due any day now. For the last 10 years I have been employed with General Electric as a machinist. It was always a dream of mine to be a machinist and I have worked hard to get were I'm at today. I'm the 3rd generation to work here. We build locomotive engines. I'm a citizen of western Pennsylvania, born and raised. We have the right amount of snakes and spiders, few earthquakes, twisters,floods or wildfires. I love my family,life and country. Thanks for allowing me to be apart of this community.
