I have the 40-690, basically the same except no lift arm holder and they improved the on /off switch so dust doesn't get in as easily as mine. I've had mine for 8 years and use it alot, starting to hear some bearing whines in it now so will probably be replacing those before to long. I love my saw but I wouldn't suggest it for compound cuts. Better to go up to an Excalibur of better if that's your thing

I usually run grain vertical, unless I'm trying to get a special effect out of the grain (like ocean waves, or a persons hair). What kind of portrait are we talkin'?

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make use of this!

Dealt and delta are the same company. Dealt is more job sight, and delta is the shop line. That's why they turned the scroll saw back to the delta division.

I too was having a problem with Miter cuts. I solved the problem by building a Miter Sled for my table saw. There are a lot of good videos out there on how to build one

I use a dremel mounted in dremel drill press jig, and I have a dremel plunge router jig for bigger projects

That really is amazing Randy! Just out of curiosity, how do you attach your patterns to the coins?

Very nice Monti! The blo really made it pop.

That is really amazing! But it doesn't look anything like Paul, he has all 10 fingers 😆😆

Nice! I like the glitter on the plexi.

Very nice! I really like the celtic cross!

I really like that piece! You did a great job cutting it. Who's patten is that?

I also think it looks like heart wood and sap wood of a single piece. Variation is part of the beauty of wood to me. I think it looks great!

Kevin, you do an amazing job keeping all those names fresh with new ideas behind them!

That is very cute! Every little boy I know loves to watch the garbage truck!
