Congrats on the new saw. I advance the lever until good tension, about half to two thirds lever movement. Like Bill says, "How it cuts".
-
I also top feed, so it would not work for me. I have a DeWalt 788 and EX21, both in good condition. If I look at something new, maybe the new Seyco. SWWC will have a review in the next issue.

Random Orbital Sander for Scroll Saw Projects
Denny Knappen replied to Sam777's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I purchased a Sand-Flee several years ago and it is my go to sander after cutting. I still use the ROS, but less frequently. -
Another welcome from TN. Lots of friendly folks here.
-
Thanks for all the nice comments. This was my first multi compound project.
-
Thanks, Paul. Each piece needs to be 1 7/8" square and however long, so be sure and use a fairly soft wood. I had to do some sanding to get them to line up.
-
Thanks, DW. That Northern White Cedar was sure soft.

This is one of five patterns by Sue Mey found in SWWC Spring 2017 issue #66. I cut this from Northern White Cedar. It is four compound cut pieces glued together to make one piece. It is approximately 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 4 1/2". I used FD Polar #9 blades, one coat 50% BLO and one coat spray Polyurethane. All I need now is an Air Plant. Comments welcome.
-
Very well done. Whose pattern?
-
Very nice pattern and cutting. I can see it as a box top.
-
Well done, Bobby and your own patterns too.

Welcome to the forum from TN. Buy the best scroll saw that fits your budget.

Another welcome from TN. Hope to see some of your projects.

Kevin, hard wood really makes it pop.
-
Everyone is so kind. Thanks for the nice comments.
-
I do it the easy way, spray.
-
I use 50% BLO to make the wood pop and it is less expensive. On most I finish with polyurethane or shellac.
-
Thanks all for the nice comments. A fun puzzle to make and several people all ready looked at it.
-
Thanks Len. It is not a problem with the blades. With 7/8" thick wood, any little out of square would be a major problem. I wanted to be sure the blade and table were square.
-
That will look great, Ike.
-
Thanks Steve. That Cherry did turn out nice.
-
The pattern for this is by Judy & Dave Peterson and found in SWWC Spring 2017 #66. I used solid 7/8" Cherry approximately 6" x 7 1/2". I used FD Polar #7 blades and two coats of 50% BLO. A fun puzzle to make, but I had to check the blade after each cut to be sure it was square to the table. Comments welcome.

Welcome to the forum from TN. You purchased a great saw. I have both the DeWalt and EX21. The EX21 is my go to, but I still use both.

I completed five bowls on the scroll saw. I have a flex Drum Sander, so it helps in the sanding process.
