May it run well and long. Enjoy it Clayton. Meantime clean the shop

Never too old to learn, huh Tom. We'd all like to see some of your work from that 788 and pick up a trick or twwo from you. Welcome to Scrollsawvillage. Coffee House is always open, stop in and chat a bit.

I'll give it an 'A' plus.

Mireille, So that I don't mispronounce your name and you get mad at me. tell me how to say your name.

Looks like a 2 wood to me. That's a nice cut.

Hey Matt, You are welcome. Good to hear. Wasn't too bad,HUH. I'm telling everyone, I have the 40-694 arriving Tuesday Dec 30th. I love my 40-690, it is running great, I'll give it a rest and see how the 694 compares.

That is so cute and looks easy to do. Thank you for showing these.

Good job. I like Kitties.

Just an FYI.... you can EDIT and add the picture instead of another post.

Just additional information: Some pinless blades have an indentation indicating a suggested clamp point on the top. I go with: "If the clamp holds the blade, it's set right."

Stack cut two 1/4" made it easier (I think)

Backup 40-694 scheduled to arrive on 30th

Sir-prize me ! That's a good looking saw. Now if it can cut. Like RR said, show us some output.

Matt, Updated Directions, please note changes/additions Don't think I missed anything. Wish you the best. I had mine apart 3 or 4 times looking for a self-induced problem. It became easy on the last one. (Self- induced problem is where you look in the wrong place for a problem you don't have and cause a real one) I pinched a bunch of wires putting it back together.

Use lock washer if needed on motor No Locktite on any screws/nuts (any that hold covers on)

That is the case! If the motor is loose, it has to be tightened. Period. I have a 40-690 and if the motor was loose. I would take it apart and tighten it. It is easy, just takes an 1/2 hour to disassemble. I'm asssuming the 40-694 is similar Take the table off by unscrewing the screw on the front. (Heavy, don't bend screw) Remove the nut in the back that secures the saw to the bench. Now all you need is a star bit, 1/4" and 1/2" box wrench. Remove attached light Power Switch Cover -- remove 4 screws (remove cover later). Remove the 'U' clip screw that the table mounted to, Slip off the U clip. Remove the two screws require 1/4" wrench ( External nuts visable on outside) Remove the two screws on the front bottom that secures the saw to the bench. Lift the saw off the bench and lay it on its side with the motor off the table. (No weight on the motor). Remove the rest of the screws. (one screw is longer than the rest, some have washers (make note). Remove Arm Plate and switch cover. The back cover (opposite motor) has tight fit, work loose slowly. check and tighten motor screws. Re-apply or add grease where there was grease. There is metal plate 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" (approx) you need to align to put back cover on. Also insure you do not crimp wires when you put cover on The last screws are the ones that attach saw to bench, then the nut on the back.

One question, what does stand for? Forget it........... I think I found out..... If I'm wrong, tell me.

Looks like #2 and you did a good job. Sometime, try this one again with a different blade just to see if it is easier. Is the wood Baltic Birch? If it is BB, you could stack cut a couple. Hey, might find it cuts easier.

Beautifully done. You did a fine job.

The 'Chat Room' on the task bar shows if anyone is there by number, I think thats true. I saw a '1' at the Chat Room once. Must have been 'Elvis' because when I went in and said Hi noone answered. I don't think anyone really uses it. Maybe the Coffee House serves the purpose.

Yer right Kevin, being in the chat room is just like watching grass grow.

Thats funny cute. Good job.

You're good Dan. "looks store bought". I don't remember ever seeing one before. Cute little bugger.

I enjoy seeing your work. I love the Shephard

Luis, Each one is very good. I especially like the guitar with the musical note. The pistols are what? Do they shoot rubber bands?
