I thought it had a Makita look about it

There's an Imperial up for auction now on you know where.

I have two DML 24's and they both have hollow bars, unless they changed to solid bars when they put the X on.

The bars are hollow tubes that are just clamped at each end onto the stands.

You could always cut the bars shorter.

Whether kept as logs or planked Sycamore needs to be seasoned stood on end if you want to keep it white. happy scrolling Steve

In my opinion they would be originals. But then what's to say that someone somewhere hasn't already done it, you've just not known about it happy scrolling Steve

I like that and it's a very good first attempt. Onwards and upwards. happy scrolling Steve

No worries Mike, I didn't realise you were doing intarsia. happy scrolling Steve

Mike, all I do is print onto ordinary paper, spray the back of the pattern with repositionable glue and stick it to the wood. If I think that the blade might burn the wood then I cover the pattern with clear packing tape after I've drilled the holes. happy scrolling Steve

I bought of those in either the late 60's or early 70's a hell of a lot better than the steel ones. Mine was in the van went when the van got nicked in the mid 90's.

Well done on getting the saw Mike, you could try putting a paving slab under the saw, it might help. Steve Good has some videos on youtube that might help you as well. https://www.youtube.com/user/sdgood/videos happy scrolling Steve

Good luck with it, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Just remember to get a quick demo before you pay up. Any questions just ask, I've had one for over 20 yrs now and it's still going strong. Re the noise, I'd say mine purrs like a sewing machine. happy scrolling Steve

I second Naz, get a second hand Delta with the quickset blade clamps. There's one (buy it now) on the 'bay in Beverley which is not too far from Doncaster. happy scrolling Steve

A bearing with a snap ring groove would possibly work. Something like this. http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Ball-Beari ... --80927-p#
