.. and the best is ?

scrimper .... that's a very impressive storage arrangement. Looks like 3 different makes there. Is there a reason for so many? Malcolm

74 viewings and so few replies, when I had hoped for more help being fairly new to scrolling and want to get into segmentation - intarsia. I was wondering if I should stock up with half a dozen sizes, say a 1,3,5,7,9 and 11, to cover all possibilities, but is that far too many and overkill...

When the box and drawers have been finished by sanding through the grits, I usually go down to 400, then I usually put 2-3 coats of sanding sealer, with 400 sanding lightly between coats. After the last coat, a gentle 600 grit sand and then 2 coats of hard wax polish. Oiling is different and I...

That's interesting, the cutting speed. 1mm a minute seems exceedingly slow, is that about average for fine work? Malcolm

With a large number of different scrollsaw blades for different uses, you probably don't keep them all, as #1 and below would not be as popular as #3 or #5 in most cases and #12 may hardly be used by many. If you are cutting soft and hard woods from 3/8" to 1.5", how many different blades would...

I hope that they will still be happy with the guarantee, as you have made changes. Think carefully about using it because if it now went wrong with a washer removed, it could be left to you to sort out. I doubt this would happen with a firm as good as Axminster, but other firms may soon cancel a...

Make sure yoiu get Tuffsaw blades as these wil make a great improvement in your cutting. If you don't know, Ian Black will know what you need if you tell him what sort of work you want to do. LOads of links on Google about this saw. Malcolm

Hi Alan, How did that happen? It looked like you did not clamp it all around, which is essential. Cut the back off again and sand any glue off on the sander to keep it level. Check with the light that it fits snugly and glue agaian making sure you use enough clamps to keep it closed all round...

So......... if the switch is wired after the NVR, is it then possible to use a foot switch connected to the 'switch' after the NVR and then 'that' would not be a bother. Or am I too daft?

Interesting though guys, the last few days having switched off with the front switch and not turned power off the mains, next time into the workshop and the same switch starts it. The NVR has not cut in ????? Couls be something to do with the Sat Nav I suppose?

Here's a funny one, I was scrolling today and when adjusting the speed, the telescopic arm of an ariel attached to an old radio on the bench was vibrating. At certain speeds it was almost stationary and the table almost without vibration, but at other speeds, the ariel wobbled a lot and that...

Suggest that you don't mess about with it, but return it to |Axminster to sort out. If you start trying too solve the problem and can't, then you may well have invalidated yor guarantee. Phone Axminster. Malcolm

haven't seen it http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?topic=19280.0

In fact, when I was setting it up, it was just on ther bench and it was very quiet and not much vibration at all. I then put it on a hard, pressed foam mat, which seemed better, but when bolted down to the bench, was a 'tad' noisier and with moderate vibtation. I have since loostened the bolts...

That's really excellent Brian. The work on the leathers is so very realistic and for those who do not know about Intarsia, the 3D effect from raising and lowering the depth of wood is show here brilliantly. Well done. Malcolm

Did you also check the side vertical? The blade should not be tilted and the block of wood check only gives 90 degrees from the front. With work of only 3/4" it should not be a problem at all. I might have expected a problem with 2". Perhaps others can help, or take it back and get a new...

Not surprising Mike, it's a post from 2007, Shareef may have been better with a new post. First of all Shareef, the setting up is crutial to using the bandsaw and this will help you THE BEST FROM A BANDSAW 'Alex Snodgrass of Carter Industries has an excellent video...

I was alarmed by an article in the press when I saw that a husband has persuaded his wife to swear an oath that she would put all his money into his coffin on his death. He had been ill for a long time and the doctors had told him that he hadn't got long to live. They had been married for over...

Hi GarF, what size timber were you cutting at the time? With thicker timber (2"), sometimes the blade guide will interfear and often it is removed, but then you need to feel comfortable in holding the work down. Also have to checked that at the lowest speed, the blade is vertical from the...
