General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Dust Collection

I use a fan with a furnace filter in front of it and it really helps keep down the fine dust in the air.  I also have a delta air filtration system suspended from the ceiling.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Question

Pie Guy,

I've been dipping them in Canola Oil.  I'm using 3/4" maple and they come out great.

I'd be afraid of it turning rancid after a time.  Any problems with that happening?

I do not think so as long as they are public domain images to begin with.

I teach scrolling at the Woocraft store in Harrisburg and was  told by the Dewalt Tech that adjusting the nut will not hurt anything. I have been doing this adjustment for two years and have not experienced any problems.

That is good too know.  Thanks for passing that along.  I guess it depends on which rep you ask.

Dolphin,
It would seem to me that since you already deal with the metric end it might be easier for you to come up with something and send it to Steve for his approval and posting.  What ya think?

Just a thought.

Did you remember to click the little box that says save a copy in your outbox?  it is not a default you have to manually click to save a copy.  I've sent a couple and they went through and I rec'd responses already.  Hope this helps.

Your suggestion makes sense to me.

I was told by a Dewalt tech that tightening the bolt was not the correct thing to do as it will cause undue wear on the bolt and can cause the manufacturers warranty to be negated.  He actually suggested using a bungee cord attached above the saw or a Jim dandy ez lift.  I got the ez lift and love it.  I used to use a block of wood to hold up the arm.
