Thanks Barry same to you have a happy & safe Christmas Col





May your saw stay sharp and your nails never bend

Just been using my small old Hegner cutting 1 1/4" Bubinga with a coarse blade. Fine, no jumping, no burning. I have bought many upper blade clamps over the years and now use the expensive round alloy Hegner QR, modified with a lever through one side. Very expensive but the best clamp so far.

Hi All
I have brought my Excalibur EX-21 scroll saw and stand from Carbatec in Sydney I am happy with the saw I have it on a suppled stand and a heavy 25mm thick rubber mating like they stuff they use in parks.
I can run it at ¾ speed and stand a glass of water on the table with no ripple in the in the water at full speed there is a ripple I don’t know if this is good or bad but I can’t cut things out at full speed not because of the vibration it just my lack of scrolling inexperience. Thanks everyone for you valued input to things.

Hope you all had a safe and happy Christmas and have a happy new year.
Colbra

PS It wasn’t water

I'm jealous......I can't run mine on hi speed at all without things bouncing around on the bench...(including a full 4 litre can of paint!)

Don't be jealous wait for 6 or 12 months and see what the story is you can,t judge a product after 5 minutes of use and be sides that I don't cut gasses of water
