    some noob questions, various topics....

    Also regarding the blades, both aminster, checking their site, nothing listed but I have yfb12, look quite a big tooth, and yfb28, these look really small, but that's all I have, so off to Google I go :-)

    some noob questions, various topics....

    OK, so googling and what not between work found the following. The blade clamps are just screwed on, hex head bolts, upper and lower, so the axminsterones look like they will fit. a future purchase I think, as got one pinned but 12 pinless blades. Tutorial videos have been handy, so practising...

    some noob questions, various topics....

    Perform ccfs axminster branded, looks very similar to the single speed one they sell now tbh. Googling seems to show there are pinless guides that just attach where the pinned ones are and dirt cheap.

    some noob questions, various topics....

    Hi all, new to scrollsawing and for a few questions.. I have some painless blade's with my used purchase, but the blade guide is pin. What would I need to convert, and is it expensive? Looking at the saw the two guides are held in by screws, so is this an easy switch? What is the best way...

    sorted. managed to remove the tension screw assembly, gave it a clean/oil and all working now. oddly though the diagram to tighten/loosen the tension is now reversed, but not a concern, all works and looks like the thread got a bit 'stuck', there was minor brightening of the threads, but not...

    scroll saw tension wont adjust, help!

    Got a scroll saw earlier today,and all was well. Been playing with it and learning how to change bladesmand whatnot. So changed the blade, tensioned up, cut then when I went to change the tension, it would not alter. The tensioner turns but doesn't change the tension, and it is now set on...

    Lambretta

    I could never afford a lamretta, had 2 vespas though, px125 with chrome and whatnot, nd when I passed my test px200e, complete with audio system. At 18 I never was mechanically minded, and didn't check the clutch fluid. Ended up with it failing in drive. Had to pull. Away as gentle as possible...

    Drill Press usage : what speed(s) do you use & belt removal?

    Hi all, got a drill press (from filsgreen :mrgreen: ) and checking the speed i think it is set quite high (1700) and reading around there are mixed reports, some say just set it to low (720 IIRC) as this will cover most roles without bother, and others say 'just change the belt as needed'. I...

    Blue Masking Tape

    If it is the stuff I am thinking off, check b&q, it is in the decorating section. Quite tough, but easy to remove. I used it to mask off my rc car bodies and worked a treat with no residue, and also on kitchen cabinets to get a good paint line without paining half the cabinet. Also you can...

    Router... what to buy?!

    I have the same as AES, it was £25 (last September IIRC) and a box of assorted router bits for £7 (58p each!). the router seems to be good quality for the price. It is not massive (compared to some), it plunges smooth, the locking method is easy and secure and seems to be better quality than...
