Thanks all Yes I fully understand that ply letting is not going to last that long unless protected in some fashion, that much is obvious and even then its susceptible to the weather So thanks for the advice But thats not really what I asked It was just to try and preserve it as best I...

Yes there are limitations, this one is 6mm ply lettering on a solid base board As its what she has asked for, I can only advise as best I can

Sunny Cornwall (usually ;-) Near Newquay

Good thought, I will have to have a dig to see if I still have some Cuprinol Its not going to last forever, nothing down here does, but if I can give it a little longer life all to the good

That was a bit spooky ;-) I just thought, thats odd I haven't had a reply to my post and ..ping the sound of incoming message Anyway, thanks for yours but I think you have the wrong impression Firstly its made ;-) But its for a neighbour not an unknown outside customer And I am doing it...

Hi all I have an order for a house sign Lettering cut from 6mm ply which will be glued to a teak? base board about 12" wide Customer wants to paint it herself, but the lettering being ply and with small gaps in the lettering (inside a's, e's etc) anyone got any ideas what I can use to seal...

The best way I can describe it is in the attached images You will see from the picture of the bare clamp that it has a channel on the top of it I believe this is for the aforementioned plate When you clamp the replacement onto the arm with just the bolt in the rear hole, it puts stress on...

You are probably best having some made However, are you fitting a plate on the top of the Axminster clamps? it seems most fit them with no plate, the plate allows the clamp to flex a little when clamping

Hopefully you are aware but just in case, mdf produces very fine toxic dust, so a mask and dust extraction is needed All dust is bad for you of course, but particle boards produce some of the worst

My AWFS18 is equally vibration free It has sat atop its original stand unbolted, without moving since I got it

There will also be some coming on the market from those who had a new saw for Christmas

The only Hegner I have owned was a used multicut 1 and was far from impressed but it was used, and single speed, it vibrated terribly so wasn't sad to see it go Yes they replaced the plastic bushes with brass or bronze bushes but they are no better IMHO apart from not wearing out as quick as...

The AT460SS is a very good saw, it is as said the Hegner clone I have its forerunner the AWFS18 but its the same saw You said something about blade changing, the Hegner has one blade change block on the side of the table, whereas the Axminster version goes one better and has two blocks...

Is it possible that dust has got into the switch? If possible can you take the switch apart and clean it out, if not a decent hoover over and around the switch As a second suggestion Does the motor have replaceable brushes? they may have worn down over time

Just a further hint, when searching any of the sites, use both Fret Saw and Scroll Saw as search terms, some people call them one or the other and sometimes both Set up automatic searched which are useful, although I find regular searches of Gumtree are needed as the reminders are often sent...

As far as the lower end machines they are very much of a muchness, most made by the same factories and rebadged If your budget is only £120 I would suggest getting a used machine, many of which are little used or even unboxed, look on ebay, Gumtree, Preloved etc Or there is a Parkside saw...

I also notice this Parkside one has a foot switch with it, thats the first one I have seen with a foot switch included (for those that like a foot switch of course) But makes it more sellable later on

That should say "which *if* only for pinned blades would be pointless"

If you look at the Scheppach SD1600V it is basically the same saw, sold by Screwfix for £130 and if you look at the blade clamps you will see they are same as the parkside, and the spec does list for use with pinned or pinless blades If you look at the blade clamp you will see an allen key bolt...

Just an additional note on the Lidl (Parkside) scroll saw Having looked at it as its now on sale (from the 12th Dec) I noticed it has the better blade clamps on it, rather than the usual Aldi rebadged Scheppach
