Very nice, but, are you really getting enough for them?
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: a new tool in the workshop
« on: July 12, 2017, 10:41:26 am »
Ya, I have a grabber thingy my wife gave me when I was recovering from back surgery years ago. I still use it often to retrieve things in the shop that always seem to fall somewhere hard to reach. They are very handy. Mine is starting to wear out. My need to replace it.

A lot depends on where you are showing and the type of crowd. Here is one a gentleman is very successful with and I have made a few so I know they are easy, fast and fun to make. This not my site nor do I sell. Just an idea. He sells the patterns for $2.50 each, sent via email

I have the Seyco and it is a great saw. Very much like the Excalibur with a nice big table. Mine came with the washers and instructions that you use to raise the table with.
The assembly is more involved than other scroll saws, takes a little more time, but very doable. Watching Steve Good's assembly video really helped me.

I got mine put together on the 5th. It is not as easy to assemble as other scroll saws that you pull out of a box and mount on a stand. It took me a while. But worth the work. I think it would be a good idea for Steve to edit his assembly video, to make it a little shorter, put it on a disc and make a deal with Seyco to add a disc as part of their packaging. I watch Steve's video and then referred back to it a couple times while assembling mine and it really helped me. I did the bench top mount because I have a stand I built for my Excalibur that I really like. This saw works just as well on my cabinet. I love the big table. Not sure about the magnetic top. Just does not seem as slick as a waxed metal top. I waxed it and it helped a little. I think my biggest concern is the tilting of the table. I rarely do it but the Ex was so nice to be able to just turn a knob to make the adjustment. I do not think this saw is going to be that easy to get it adjusted to just where a person wants it, I shall see when I need to do it.
So far, I love the saw, I loved my Excalibur also and this is a good replacement.

I have the "dead man" type. Have only used them on my scroll saws. It one I like best came with my Hegner. It is much smaller than most I have seen. I thought I would not like it but it was not the case, it became my favorite one.

Glad you joined. Toys are fun. Recently I have been making little puzzles. They are going to my grandson. This is not what I normally cut, but glad I gave it a try. Very relaxing. I do it to rest from more complex projects. I got my patterns from this guy. https://woodcraftbyscott.com/
Here are the three I have completed so far.

Ask Steve a question. / Re: Top Clamp knob for Seyco ST-21
« on: May 10, 2017, 09:51:41 am »
Good info, Steve and that makes it a lot cheaper than the Hegner option. I'm I correct in assuming it will work in an Excalibur as well? As a caution though one has to be careful, it gives more leverage, and you are screwing a steal nut into aluminum. Could strip the threads pretty easily.

I'm not Steve but I think he has installed the knob and screw for the "Quick Clamp" available from Advance Machinery. https://www.advmachinery.com/products/hegner-quickclamp the black clamp will not work on the Seyco saw, but the knob and screw well. Makes it an expensive knob if you have to buy it that way. It is a great one to have though. I have a Hegner with one and would not be without it.

I have never used one, fact, I have never even seen one, but on the forums I frequent, the owners of them speak very highly of them. I have not read of people owning them having the motor problems that I read about with DeWalt. Course that maybe that there are so many more DeWalt owners that Delta owners.
