Would it be possible for somone to post/repost a list of all the bearings/bushing models, quantities, amount needed for a type 2? I'm visiting family in MIchigan and thinking I might order them so they'll be there when I get home. Not going to try and watch 4 videos on a smart-phone to find the numbers, found a couple of lists elsewhere but none seem complete. I'm looking on craigslist while i'm here so if i get lucky and find something decent i'll just sell the dewalt with a big bag of bearings. thanks joe

I ruined a jigsaw puzzle that way - cut it into dozen strips, stopped to do an inlay, went back to cut the strips into pieces and it was still set at about 3 degrees. The pieces would only go together one way, had to throw itout.
-
All 3 look like nice pieces to build, although every time I see those plans I have to wonder what type of decor they would fit into.

I bought some 1/4" cherry from Ocooch, thinking I'd use it for puzzles. I think the price was in the $7 range for a 12x24 piece. The inner ply is MDF. It was nice, but like cutting jello so the pieces fit too loosely for puzzles, I ended up making boxes out of it. If you've got the time and the tools there is no reason not to go ahead and use the real stuff.

I've got a scan of it from a magazine but I cropped out the top/bottom so I don't know which one.

got these off of vecteezy. They're a nice fretwork design, very intricate. Zodiac Animals.pdf

klingspor sells them for 4.95 and wants 7.99 flat rate shipping, so that's one place cheaper. mikes workshop sells flying dutchman blades and they have the TC 2-way cut which is the same profile, different name. $3 a dozen. I forget what he charges for shipping but it's a lot less than 9 bucks. Woodcraft sells them, there's one an hour and forty minutes to your southwest. A bit of patience and some googling would probably bring up a few more.

I like ABE books - it's a worldwide network of book dealers. I was able to get a library of metalworking books from England that are unavailable in the states, and shipping was very cheap. Just like Amazon you'll find some crazy price ranges but it's easy to sort by price. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&an=&tn=scroll+saw+relief+patterns&kn=&isbn=

$3300 I could live with. $33,000 might be a bit outside my budget since I just make stuff to give away.

You might find these guys to be helpful when it comes to finding machines/blades in Australia. http://www.scrollsawaustralia.com/ Most of the links on their link page seem to be dead, but their main page advertises an event from May, so if they've disbanded it's just been recently. There are also these people. Their site too is a bit outdated, but they have a newsletter from last month so they're not dead yet: http://www.woodgroupsa.org.au/sozscroll/ With a bit of luck you might be able to find someone there who has set themselves up as an importer/reseller of tools/blades.

Well that was quite a rabbit hole. No specs there, but I clicked on one of the others and for less than a grand it will cut 4" but it takes a 12" blade. From there I found another one that costs either $1 or $3000 (Are they not sure how much???) The entire page is written in Chinglish except the description, which seems to be "borrowed" from wikipedia: " Scroll saws are often used to cut intricate curves and joints, a task they can complete quickly and with great accuracy." I've been contemplating buying a big load of pen kits from Alibaba. Worst case scenario there is I'm out a couple hundred bucks. I'm not sure I'd use them for something this big though unless I'd seen it in person somewhere else first.

If you stumble upon it again please let me know. thanks Joe

Saw the title and had to look because Dolly Parton was just on TV on one of the morning shows. Your work looks good, hopefully it ages better than she did...

Those links take you to a page full of pictures. Lots of pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. Can you link to the pictures on their original site?

What kind of motor is on the Fein - AC, DC, induction, universal, brushes or no, start/run/both capacitors etc.?

I think that's the overall size - I've got a knee mill and had a lathe that were bigger. Usually the # has something to do with capacity so 1400/1600 in mm is where I got 55/63 inches. I could of course be wrong, still haven't found any industrial dealers in the US advertising it. It's been 5 years, maybe laser-cutting CNC has taken over whatever niche it would have filled. I'm going to keep haunting the used machinery websites, maybe I'll get lucky and find the one factory in America that bought one before going belly up.

You could probably scroll saw a railroad rail.

I think it would be a couple grand, but I don't see it being too much more than that - it's big, but there's no computer, no servo motors, nothing fancy really it's just size (55 or 63 inches).

There is nothing special about the jigsaw puzzle, it's just a 100 piece of the San Xavier mission. But I feel real good about the box. I needed the box to be big enough to hold the puzzle. I had a piece of 8/4 (1.75" thick) spanish cedar 5-3/16 wide, with that as a lid width I got just at 5" wide for the box itself and the only way the puzzle would fit would be if I could use the entire 1.75" for the box walls. I cut the inside of the walls, glued a 1/4" bottom on it, and ran it through the sander until it would just fit in the scroll saw without the arm banging on top of it so I could cut the outer profile. Dewalt says the max depth is 2". My box (not counting lid) is a skosh over 1-15/16" thick and the puzzle pieces fit perfectly. Thankfully cedar cuts like butter - I can't imagine doing that thickness in a hardwood or exotic.

Saw a pic, that led me to another pic, then a video, then this video. Anyone know the price, or where to buy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqH51cqntgk

You found that on dafont.com?
-
Bet it would really suck to finish one of those and then see that you spelled the breed wrong.
-
I got mine from Supergrit.com and I think it was 26 + 10 shipping so yours is a couple of bucks cheaper.

Top row middle with the antlers - did you spell "basselope" incorrectly?

You'll want one of these. http://www.pswood.com/diamond-scroll-saw-blade/
