Sorry, I'm ignorant. What is an easy-lift, and why do I need one? Where do I find one?

It's a spring loaded upper arm holder-upper for a DeWalt 788 scrollsaw.
Check out www.jimdandy.com for the info.
Wildwood designs sells them too!
I use one and it works great!Fred
There's a fine line between woodworking and insanity, I'm just not sure which side of the line I'm on!

EZ lift
I also bought an easy lift form Jim Dandy and really like it. It's a lot better than putting a block of wood under the arm while changing blades or top feeding. I would recommend getting for yourself (saw).
Oh, yea when you call you get a real person (don't know if it is Mr. Jim or Mr. Dandy) to talk to. So you won't have to jump through the button hoops and forget what you called for in the first place.

On my last 788 saw (3 of 3 since Nov) the pivot screw was a little tight and held up the arm until I moved it down which precluded the need for an EZ Lift. On #1 saw I purchased and used the EZ lift and it made life much easier than the block of wood I had been using up to that time. Last night I loosened up the arm pivot screw a smidge and put on the EZ Lift. Your choise, six of one - half dozen of the other... PS: Loosening up the pivot screw a bit so the arm moves smoothly to the bottom of its stop still didn't help close the distance between the blade clamps.

by RolfI agree with you Mark, I am constantly changing or adapting my patterns to suit my taste or the size of the wood that is available to me. Thinking about electronic versions of the patterns, that would be great. But very hard to control. It amazes me how many people have no scruples about sharing....

Reply to Peanuts #1by RolfBruce I just looked up the Pegas blade and the Flying Dutchman puzzle blade.
Pegas TPI 28.2 Thickness .087" Width .0236"
FD TPI 31 Thickness .08 Width.023
So the Flying Dutchman is a bit thinner , not sure it would make a significant difference. Three teeth per...-

by Quartz43Perhaps, we could hear from Fox. Maybe they could try some things and see if it makes things better. Or, they can just keep doing the things the same way.

by markdavdThis is a case were the publisher can't win.
I personally like the patterns to be printed at the artist's intended size if at all possible. Let me decide to reduce or enlarge. If I don't have the equipment to make a copy at 100%, that's my problem not the publishers. We all have our own...-
