That is awesome. If I started now I would not live long enough to finish it.

I looked at the Delta parts page. There are a million models. Can you narrow my search a bit? I'd like to fine that thumb screw.

I'm patting myself on the back for gifting myself an LED magnifying lamp for my scroll saw. Excellent idea Travis. I should have it Wednesday.

You are exactly right! What was I thinking? Apparently not.

Thanks for the information. JT introduced me to the problem and the problem is me. Everything is now copacetic. I have no problem with my thumb screw I just think a rotating tip seems like a good idea. Some good ideas are not necessary but still are very cool. I'd like to get one just to see if I could make one just for the fun of it.

Hi John, I sent a response from my cell phone last night. Don't understand what happened to it. However, you are exactly correct. I had not been careful placing the blade in the top holder. With larger blades I do not even think about it but #1 and smaller it is pretty important as they take a bend easily. I've been scrolling this afternoon and everything is working nicely. Many thanks to you for your response and advice which is excellent.

If 10-32 I'd buy it even if I don't need it. It sounds like an ideal screw.
-
I'll try dressing the screw. I don't know why I have not done that as I made a dressing jig a couple of years ago. Just checked the screw and the end is in terrible shape. It is OK now. I'll try it tomorrow.
-
No because the blade is locked at the top of the holder. Thanks though.

Cutting Boards / Butcher Blocks? Jointer Issues

Hi Hawk owners. I'm cutting a portrait from 1/8" BB using a #1 FD Polar blade. Cutting is going well, however, the blade bends at the top blade holder. The blade is placed to the top of the holder and the thumb screw is t9ghtened. I do tighten quite strongly as the tension is quite high. Backing off the tension allows the blade to wander so I cant do that. After tightening the blade a half dozen times the blade takes a forward bend making it difficult to insert into the top holder properly. Not sure if I am tightening the blade too much or what. The bend is forward and cannot be bent back easily without breaking. Just wondering if any Hawk owners or anyone else has had this problem. One of the other saw makers have a clamp screw with a tip that rotates but don"t know the thread size but the Hawk size is 10-32.

Beautiful even though I have no idea how you do that. -
It is on Hwy 85 on the way to Greeley. He has nervous energy and nothing else to do.

Uh Oooooh. Double bevel is a new one for me. Don't want to hijack this thread so if you answer, best to start a new thread.

You have done a beautiful job. Love the font.

I'm going to see the guy this week. I'm sure it has to do with sanding very fine grits like 600 to 1000. I'll find out. So far the silicone is working. Also an aluminum table can leave black on the back of the piece being cut. The silicone relieves some of that.
-
Whose pattern is that? Is it OK to download it. Don't want to step on any toes here.

Only use Mobil 1 5-20 or your saw will throw a rod.

Will do. I went to see him last week. He lives about 30 minutes from me. Since I don't know the area I was using the GPS on my cell phone. When I was nearly there a car accident happened just in front of me blocking the highway. A three car pile up. I stopped and called 911. I told the dispatcher the exact location with cross streets and direction of travel. She asked me questions but I said I cannot understand as I am nearly deaf and cant converse on the phone. I finally hung up. When I tried my GPS all internet was lost and I could not continue so I went home. I had stopped at a Wally World trying to get a signal but could not. From home I called him and told what had happened. He said I was just a few minutes from where I was. I'll get out there this week.

Clayton at Scroller Nation loves them and is also sold on the PSwood machine. I'm going out to see him this coming week. I can try the machine. He cuts almost cuts thick wood or MDF. Perhaps a super blade is necessary. Ive suggested he join the village.
-
I have thought of that option. I have thought of counter top material.
-
You are probably correct but since the silicone is dry on the table I'm hoping it won't contaminate the wood. At least not on the face.
-
Yeah, I love Willie. Nice cutting.
