General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Thumb screw fix?

« on: December 03, 2017, 05:49:57 pm »

I also have the 40-690.  I pull the swivel tip off and wipe it with a clean cloth or paper towel.  I have read that putting a drop of machine oil on the o-ring will help.  I would put a drop of oil on a paper towel and wipe the o-ring with that.  I think too much oil will be trouble.  Maybe a drop a year?  Thumb screw is steel and the pad is aluminum and the steel threads will destroy the aluminum threads.  When this starts to happen the thumb screw gets harder and harder to tighten and loosen.  To solve this I use a very small amount of anti seize compound.  I use a tooth pick to put a very small drop of anti seize on the threads, and wipe this into the threads with a paper towel. I found a little bit of anti seize goes a long way.  So much in fact that after I had put on the anti seize from the tube the clamps would actually vibrate loose while I was sawing.  I used anti seize many times when rebuilding auto engines when steel bolts would screw into aluminum blocks.  It is available at auto parts stores.  After using the anti seize very little pressure is needed to tighter or loosen the thumb screws.  JUST REMEMBER, oil and anti seize is an enemy to wood when scrolling, so only a very little bit is needed.

I have read several times that the glue in the plywood dulls the blades quickly.  I still use it though for most of my work.

Judy,

If you are asking about the dremel plunge router base, I bought mine at Amazon.  Here is link:

I tried it out this morning and did not have any problem.  Just now went back on site to see what the steps I took were.  However, cannot find the resizer window on Steve's site?

"I have checked my blade ( Still the factory fitted one ) and it seems to be straight, although it is to the left a little and not dead center of the bed, could it be possible that this would be causing the problem?"

You have identified the problem.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Foot Switch

« on: May 28, 2017, 11:11:50 pm »

I have the Harbor Freight deadman switch for my dremel plunge router for drilling the holes and the on/off for the scroll saw.  Just recently had to replace the on/off foot switch.  Figure I had the one that wore out for at least 5 years.  It made a lot of ons and offs before the plastic part broke.
