General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Wood Burning.

« on: May 05, 2014, 12:19:24 pm »

I like wood burning.  The crackle and pop of the wood and the sparks and smoke going up and the warm of the hands, ahhh, very nice.  Unintentionally, that applies to my wood burning with a tool also.  I do a little to add to my cuttings but I could never find a fireproof pattern to try it on a major picture.  But I do like the smell of cedar toasting in the warmth.  Have fun.

i have a tip.. to burn wood... 

on a cold or a cool day  i go outside and get bunch of wood together and start a fire. the warm heat feels nice. Sometimes the smoke blows on ya but no problem get in the head of the line like at walmart lol.  hmm that was two tips i guess you got a free one from me lol

« on: March 13, 2014, 05:44:37 pm »

I would like to know where do you go to get replacement parts for the dw788 scroll saw.  I have look at 1800 tool repair website.   is there any better ones that you have order from and if so how wast the service and costomer service. 

On my other post about the scroll saws  THE ALL THREE NEW DW788 SCROLL SAWS i HAD TO RETURN TO THE STORE AND GOT MY MONEY BACK.  Seem to be something really mess up with the 2013 model scroll saws.  So I'm thinking about getting my repair.  looks like its going to be rebuilt scroll saw which sucks. and I want to save lots of money on the rebuilt. Then I could sell it and get my money back.

thanks.

check on line first that is what I do before going to the stores...
and then I ask them if they will match it first.   You should call up the BBB in your state and report that store and that manager about it. don't let them get a way with it.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: My old scroll saw dewalt dw788 start making a knocking sound

« on: February 22, 2014, 02:30:23 pm »

What i did was took a 6 inch sqaure and put inside the chucks on both upper and lower arms and it was off a lot the when you are sitting in front of the saw the top arm is a bent over to the right a little and the lower arm bent a little to the left  which means I had to the set screw set all the way to the right and the top set screw to the left and had to tilt the table a bit to the right to get it to cut at 90 degrees.
that saw went back.  When I got the 2nd scroll saw that damn screws that hold the worklight  the inside screw was strip out and i was so &*^^ off i took it back and got a a replacment  now the 3rd saw i got now is going back the damn thing won't stay on the line i mean it just don't follow the lines at all. so i guess i'll take it back and get my money back and tell dewalt to kiss me butt both cheeks.  i guess the 2013 scrolls saw are bad or something. so i guess i'll wait for awhile and get a 2014 dw788 scroll saw I still got my old scroll saw the 2012 but that got a knocking noise.  I think it the tenssion ron that is knocking.  I also still got the ex-21. I like like that dewalt easy to change blades then the ex-21.
the 2013 scroll saw is gong back on monday. and getting my money back.  500 buck scroll saw wow junk..  I think dewalt should come out with a type 3 scroll and have them made right here in the usa. OR better yet MADE RIGHT HERE IN fargo North dakota.    So Now I had to return 3 new scroll saw all bad dw788 type 2 2013 scroll saws.  

cyberghost,
I thought you got rid of your DeWalt a long time ago and moved on to a "better" saw.
How far do you have to tilt the table to get it square to the blade? If it is 4 or 5 degrees, I would say that is a problem. If you are talking about 2 degrees or less, I would just realign the pointer on the degree indicator and start making sawdust.
It doesn't matter if the table is exactly level, the important part is having the blade 90 degrees to the table for a good cut.
How did you determine that the upper arm is bent one way and the lower arm is bent the other way? Is it so bad that you can see it? If so, I would take it back instantly! There may be an adjustment to realign the arms. Or maybe it was damaged in shipping.  
If I had as much of a problem with  scroll saws as you seem to, I would try knitting for a hobby.

General Scroll Saw Talk / My old scroll saw dewalt dw788 start making a knocking sound

« on: February 19, 2014, 04:16:35 pm »

My Dewalt dw788 started to making a knocking sound what could it be and how much do you think it well cause to get it repair.

So I went and got a replacemnt one and on the new one the top arm is bent little one way and the bottom arm bent a little the other way and there is no way I can get the blade square to the table the only way I can get the blade square is to tilt the table a bit until the the blade is square to the table  has anyone got a new saw like this its a dewalt dw788. I'm waiting on for a new scroll saw to come and I will be taking this one back.

That is normal just make sure your set screw are set right and that the blade is stright with the table.
