Great job on cutting Danny, nice crisp and clean lines and the points look great too. This is a perfect example why I love flat blades. Bob

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Foot Pedal on Makita SJ401?
« on: January 14, 2016, 10:57:00 am »
Dave, I never had the tool with my saw either I just stuck an awl or Phillips screwdriver through the hole. You could also use pliers or an adjustable wrench to hold the blade holder while you loosen the set screw.
Like I said Dave, I used mine like this for two years. Once you get a rhythm to changing the blades it's not a big deal, it just takes a little more time than my EX does. When you get a chance I would pick up some extra 4mm Allen set screws from a hardware store, the ones on the saw do tend to wear out after awhile and become difficult to loosen.

Dave the foot pedal will work fine on the Makita, but I'm sure you are aware of that by now.
Don in Brooklyn...This Makita saw is a very popular model and has been sold under many different manufacturers names. I actually have the exact same saw that I bought several years ago off of Craigslist for a very low price, well below $100.00. I have seen so many different off brand manufacturers names stuck on this particular saw that I really don't know who the actual manufacturer is. I think it might be Makita, but I am not positive my saw has the name PowerTech on it and the saw is painted yellow.
With that said, it is a decent saw but it does have some drawbacks. Blade changing requires the blade changing rod tool (like the old Deltas use) and an Allen wrench which can be very cumbersome and makes for slow blade changes. If this is your first saw and you haven't used other scroll saws, it's fine but if you are used to easy blade changing, it will be frustrating for you. I used this saw for two years when I first started scrolling and made some great projects with it. I still have it as a back-up in case my EX gets a headache. If you live in a larger area, I'm sure you could find one on Craigslist w/o too much trouble for a decent price.

Brag Forum / A commisioned portrait
« on: April 17, 2015, 05:32:46 pm »
Cutting is 1/8" BB 8"x10", Frame is Phillipinian (sp?) Mahogany (Mahogany from the Phillipean's...lol) with a Poplar inlay.
Finish-Sprayed with four coats of lacquer, rubbed only the last coat with a paper bag, and since a light color wood was used, I did not use oil.
The couple is engaged to be married, this is a wedding gift.
I converted the picture to a pattern using, Gimp and Inkscpe.
Hope you like it
