    Hello from near Utica NY

    Hi, My name is Mike. I bought a Dremel 1680 off craigslist today for $50. I know they've been discontinued but, I wanted to get in to this as cheaply as I could. It's in pretty good shape and the guy that owned it used it right up until yesterday. He replaced it with a Hitachi that has a more powerful motor. I've never used a scroll saw and the projects that I'm interested in are wooden gear clocks. I hope I have the patience and skill to make them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Most forums that I'm on I at least know something about what's being discussed. This is totally uncharted territory.

    I'm looking forward to an enjoyable hobby and new friends

          Ours are run by the state Ag Dept. They have very strict rules as to masks and distancing. The Ag Dept does come and visit to make sure rules are being followed. We stand behind the table and use the tailgate for packaging. I have people place their credit card in the reader on my phone and remove...

          Linda - Here is my gimmick for the Incra 1000SE on my SS CNS. I scratched a line 3/4-inch in from the blade end of the fence. I then use a ruler to set that line 1-inch from the side of a carbide tooth on the blade. Then I line the 1-inch mark on the fence ruler to the scratch line.

          Now,...

          It was a tough choice on the miter gauges---based on recommendations here. I researched the Kreg and the Incra. They were pretty much tied. I let fate decide it. Went into my nearest 2 hardwood stores. #1 sold Kreg, but they were out of stock and didn't know when an order would come in that...

          Nice puzzle. Go for the gusto---scroll it next time!! Several of the quality brands of blades make blades just for acrylics. With a sharp blade and the right speed it's all good.
