    Hi all. Got my saw back today. Has had the complete upper and lower drive link assembly replaced. This was not done because it was the problem, but as a "try and see" job. No problem could really be found! Seyco were contacted, as was the Australian supplier. Neither had any helpful info. It seems to be running a bit smoother, so I will see how it goes. Will let you know what happens after a bit of use.

    Very interesting. Just went and tried this, and the rattly noise does stop. Still a lot of vibration, but no noise. Will tell them about this when I take it back on Tuesday. Thanks.

    Hi. Any update on your problem SCROLLECTOMY? I have been having the same type of problem. My General/Excalibur EX-21 is only one year old as well. Took it back to Carbatec last week. One of the guy's there that does Scroll saw work had a look and said it was no right. It should run like butter. Well, it runs like lumpy butter. Got it back yesterday. Was told that they changed a linkage. Everything else was running ok. Got it home and started it up. No better, may even be worse! It will be going back. If you have any report, it may help with mine as well. Thanks

    Hi I think I will probably go with the General Excalibur. Its a fair bit more than I wanted to spend, but after hearing your comments and a bit of research, it looks the better way to go. Would it be best to get new or if it can be found, second hand? Thanks again. Brad

    Very interesting. I would love to try some, but getting it to Australia would cost a fortune!

    Hi all. First off, Happy New Year. Now, down to business. I am currently using a Carba-Tec 16" saw, similar to the current Jet one. I have been using it for a bit over a year now. It works fine but is a bit difficult to work with at times. I don't do a heap of work on it, as I only have a small shed so it is put away when not in use. I am thinking of upgrading as Carba-tec have a sale at the moment. I am looking at the Carba-Tec 18" scroll saw. Carba-Tec 18" Scroll Saw : CARBA-TEC Is it worth upgrading to this model? I know its a Hegner copy, but I can't afford a Hegner. Or should I spend a bit more and go for a General 21" Scroll Saw? General Scroll Saw : CARBA-TEC Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brad
