First of all, get yourself healthy, and quit messing with your saw! Your health should come first! You can get a copy of the manual here http://www.general.ca/pg_index/manuals/EX-16e.pdf that may help you out but first hun, get yourself healthy!!Dale w/ yella saws

Have the arm down as far as it will go and take a tape an see if it needs to go up or down. Turn the knob in what ever direction that will take the arm in the direction that it needs to go. If you go the wrong way it won't hurt anything just go the other way. Good luck on your meds.

Install a blade in the saw and turn the knob on top of the saw until the arm is parallel ( you can use a level on top of the arm, or a piece of wood that you cut to fit just under the arm at the back of the saw).
Next put a piece of wood at the back of the blade and see if you have front to back movement if you do, loosen the 3 screws on hte motor and turn it until there is no blade movement.
Hope this help.

Placing a level on top of the arm will not be beneficial unless your saw table is level as well. Since I have my saw tilted that would be of no use to me."Still Montana Mike"

by John SmithI've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.

by Quartz43Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

by John Smiththanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...07-01-2022, 07:21 PM

by handibunnyVery impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.07-01-2022, 06:31 PM
