  1. Welcome Nathan. We are almost neighbor's, our county's borders touch (Kalamazoo/Allegan).
  2. I just get images off the internet and convert them to patterns using Inkscape. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
  3. Just having fun.
  4. I am also in the boat of the Pegas blade group. Mainly #1 MGT blades. They seem sharper and last longer. Also get mine from Denny.
  5. It may have been a coincidence. But 2 in a row made me go to Dewalt.
  6. I have had 2 Wen LL2156 scroll saws. Both only lasted 2 months each. Both returned due to bearing problems. Now I have a Dewalt. Although I liked the Wen 21inch, I think the Dewalt is a much much better saw all the way around.
  7. Your retiring from market selling and I am just starting. I am doing my 1st Arts/Crafts Market tomorrow from 9 till 4. There will be 45 to 50 venders. Lets hope for dry weather.
  8. Welcome Lester !
  9. Lol. No rain on my parade. So far so good with the Dewalt. Mine arrived with no finish flaws I could find. All adjustments seemed very close. I did go over all nut and bolts and double checked all adjustable adjustments. Mine also does not seem to cut aggressively as I have heard others talk about. I will keep everyone posted on this saw as I continue to use it.
  10. Kevin. My saw shows it was made in Taiwan.
  11. I feel with a little drag I have better control. I keep my SS table clean but no wax.
  12. The Great State of Michigan welcomes you to the Village. What saw did you get ?
  13. Think I am really liking the DW788.
  14. Thought I would add a color project to the list.
  15. Very nice job
  16. Thanks. I warmed it up good with a hobby heat gun. All set to go now.
  17. 1st time I moved the blower tube it cracked. No problem, I have fix for that.
  18. Yes I have a good lighted (led) magnifier and I also wear an optiviser. I also convert all patterns to red lines.
  19. Yay ! My saw got delivered a day early. I went over all nuts, bolts and screws making sure all is tight. Aligned blade set screws with feeler gauge. Aligned blade in table slot. And made sure bevel adjuster was accurate. Should be back in business.
  20. I started on an old Craftsman SS and up graded to a Wen LL2156. 1st Wen lasted 2 months, returned and ordered another, and it lasted 2 months, returned and ordered the Dewalt. I do use a foot switch and will be getting a lift assist.
  21. I hope so, looking forward to using it.
  22. My Dewalt DW788 should be delivered tomorrow. I have never used a Dewalt SS. What are some of the things I should expect? Thanks in advance.
  23. UPDATE 2ND WEN LL2156: 2 months in on new saw I encountered same issue as 1st saw. Returned to Home Depot and ordered a Dewalt. Hope I have better luck.
  24. I got at a big box store. They had several different sizes.
