    Great presentation I have used all of the ones you mention. My favorite is the new Wixey that now uses standard batteries that last 2+ years. Here is another one that I drew up in Auto cad based on something I saw in a Fox Chapel magazine. I also carefully glued this to a piece if Lucite. For the lower angles I split to 1/2 degrees. Printing in red makes it a lot easier to see. saw angles-Model.pdf

    Just watch your speed, plastic melts. Play with some scrap first.

    The polars are excellent for cutting acrylic.

    Woodchux., In my opinion you have one of the best scroll saws ever made. I have had my G426 for 11 years Only replaced a couple of minor parts in all of that time. The saw top feeds easily has plenty of power. the blade motion (front to back is adjustable. It is a $1400 saw. What a hand me down!! If you are at all interested in scrolling this is hang on to it!! Here is a link to a great video on this saw.

    Welcome. I am also a newbie to this site and must say your work is beautiful! I really dislike sanding and use a Mac mop from Klingspore to gently take care of all the fuzzies . I like this style better tan the stacked sheet type. Gentler and seems to last longer. Regarding turning, it is a bottomless money pit. If you are new to it find an experienced turner to guide you or if that is not possible. Check out these videos done by a friend. the woodturning shop on youtube. These are also excellent SB Tools Videos on Vimeo vimeo.com/woodturning/videos For some reason I am having difficulty pasting links?

    Delta parts are hard to come by for the older saws. Rather unfortunate.

    Nice fit and shaping!

    Is the "wobble" side to side or front to back? If front to back not much can be done as this saw has an aggressive blade motion. Has the saw always done this or has the problem just developed?

    Thanks for the nice welcome! Scrappile the clock was all done with a scroll saw. NO CNC. This is a fairly easy clock to cut because the gears don't have to mesh. My moto "I don't know that I can't, therfore I can" carries me through many projects.

    Some of you on this site may know me from the SSWWC site. I have been scrolling since about 2005. Love all things to do with the hobby and am a serious tool junkie, space permitting. I have been a test cutter for Fox Chapel since 2010 they have challenged me over the years with some wonderful projects and I thank them for that. I like new and challenging projects such as wooden gear clocks (I have built 3). Intarsia is my favorite form of scrolling as it allows for real creativity and changes to suit my taste. I also do lots of fretwork, especially ornaments as they have paid for every tool in my workshop. These are some samples of my favorites. The clock is my most recent featured in Gadgets and Gizmos. The bass is a Judy gale Roberts design with some minor changes and aggressive shaping. The Moon ornament is a Volker Arnold design and my all time favorite ornament 4" x 4" x 1/16 (1.5mm)
