    When I clicked on this I was expecting to see a chair in front of a scroll saw

    I have used an a Optivisor for engraving and woodcarving for years. They work great for me. I am new to scrollsawing, but have had good luck using it for that purpose. There are different levels of magnification with different distances from the lens to the work. Be sure that there is enough distance so that the upper part arm does not hit the magnifier. There is a bit of a learning curve getting used to it. I think that an Optivisor or other quality magnifier, would be better than cheaper ones (less headaches etc). You may want to buy from Amazon or somewhere else that takes returns.

    I do not know what it is about your saw that you do not like, but you might try a few upgrades and tune it up and you might be able to bring it close to the performance of a new saw for a lot less money. Some thoughts are new tires (polyurethane), new blade blocks or replace with ball bearing guides, new bearings in wheels, a more powerful motor, etc For resawing of wood wider than 6 inches, a riser block or a taller throat is necessary. Of course buying new equipment is always good. For resawing Just be sure that the build of the new saw is heavier that the old one.

    I put the Pegas clamps on a new dewalt and although I thought I could tell the difference, not being able to do a side by side comparison, I could not be sure. I bought a used Jet, the auto clamp worked okay, but really didn’t like it. Just put on a set of the Pegas clamps (with the white lever). The Pegas top clamps seems to be about a third the size of the Jet. It seems to definitely run smoother. Denny at Arrcrafters had a great price, and I got them quickly.

    When I was eight, I got one of the bobbing birds, while I was in the hospital after being hit on my bicycle by a cement truck. Due to the effects of the concussion, I could not look at it without becoming nauseous. I always tell people that if I had not had that accident, I might have been normal.

    I have had no luck using accelerator in pump containers, it always evaporated. Aerosol cans cost more but are usable to the end.

    As far as missing out on the buy four get one free - if you do the math, 15% off is real close to that.
