My intro to the Ex 21......Hawk Ultra 26VS for sale.
woodknots replied to Blaughn's topic in General Scroll Sawing
I've had my ex-21 for almost 4 yrs now and I removed the dust collection right away and came up with this. It works pretty good it slides back when changing blades. I used 1" pvc pipe to make it I didn't glue it up so it move easily.
-
Thanks to all of you for your advice I think I've got it fixed.

I only stated doing this for awhile was repairing the blades on my 10" bandsaw that i made name type key chains. The key chains is about all I've done on a bandsaw until my wife found this ridgid at a yard sale. As for using the 1/8" blade I figured for making tight turns it would be better. I think I found the problem the dust collector connector that is on the bottom door had teeth marks on it so it might have got caught on it along with the tension. I repaired the blade a second time and after doing the flutter test recommended by timberwolf for the tension setting and it cut fine. I also ordered a 3/16" blade that came in yesterday and put it on and it works good.

I am the one repairing the blade I bought a wood river bandsaw brazing kit a few years back. I have fixed about 10 or so blades in that time frame with no issues it's saved me time and money as well. If the repaired blade breaks again 9 out of 10 times it breaks in new location. I bought it to repair blades on my 10" delta a picked up at a yard sale it broke blades like crazy.

Ok it is zero clearance but its wider than the blade. I'm using a timberwolf 1/8" blade and the curves were non existing really. Here are a few pics one is the zci and one is of the first cut i made before the blade broke and the one with the writing is and as were the blade broke both times. As stated in original post i repaired the blade and it broke again in different place. I always use blade wax.

Thanks Rob

I've been making bandsaw boxes of late well total of 4. Well the other day i decided to change the steel blocks for cool blocks and put in a new zci. Then I started to cut the second round of boxes well the blade broke and it was a new blade. I fixed the broken blade and put it back on and it broke in a new spot. Is there something i might be doing wrong it can't be the new cool blocks? I thought i bought a good blade its a timber wolf. Any help would be appreciated thanks Jeff

I use the scrollers drill sold by seyco but i know some on here use a dremel mounted to the dremel router base. Hope this helps.

Nicely done Lee

Nicely done Rolf really like the log slice for the backer. Hopefully it will bring a large bidding war.

Welcome aboard Tony.

As usual great work Randy.

Thanks for the responses. I had a wood slicer for my craftsmen saw and wasn't happy with it but most of the problem was the saw. I'm hopping this ridgid saw i picked up will be a lot better when i'm done with the upgrades. I'ts identical to the grizzly. I picked it up for $150 from a guy my wife got my the dewalt scroll saw at a yard sale a couple weeks ago.

I bought a used ridgid bandsaw and I'm looking to buy new blades, such as a resaw blade and one for making bandsaw boxes. I'm looking for best brands to buy and I'm sure there are many opinions like with scroll saw blades. I ordered a riser block to go from 6" resaw capacity to 12" capacity and that will take it from a 93 1/2" to 105" blade so looking for best place to get them from. Thank you for your opinions, Jeff.

Great work Scrappile I really like the wood choice.
-
I cut mine out of walnut or african mahogany and I get $30 for mine at the festivals I do.
-
I also used formica and so glad I did. It is easy to do helps if you have a trim router and pattern bit to trim flush.
-
The blade is not on the wheels all the way it has no tension. I wheel run it for awhile as well as cutting with it, Thanks for the advise I really appreciate it. Jeff
