i have just noticed on the scrollsaw i am thinking of buying, it says, power, single phase, what exactly does that mean, and can i just plug it in..

Since nobody has tried to answer this question, I'll dispense such meagre knowledge as I have!
Single phase machines can be run off domestic electricity supplies, whereas three phase machines require more power than a domestic supply can provide and are normally only used in industrial environments. You'll be able to just plug your saw straight into the household electricity, Steve.
I only know this because I was once involved in buying a heavy-duty enameling kiln for some craft workers in a community centre I used to run. I had to arrange the installation of a three phase electricity supply for them.

There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is readily adopted.
Steve, Gill is right in that most of your domestic electircity supply is single phase. I believe in England you use 100 Volt at 50 Hz single phase for your domestic supply. 3 phase is used for larger industiral motors with 200 volts or greater that is usually greater than 2 horsepower.
That is a good point and question...I always double check when looking through any want-ads to make sure it's not a 3phase tool. It's pretty common that I find a tool at a great price and then whammo...it's 3phase. I know you can get a 3 phase converter for your home/shop..but I don't know how that works or what it involves, I just stay away from that.
There are companies out there that sell all types of animal eyes.I have used them in the past and they really make a big difference in the
finished item.Try and google them,sure you can find something.

Ebony is a black wood though it is hard to find and very expensive. For round eyes l have taken pieces of dowel and rounded them on a sanding wheel. When I get the shape that I want I stain them with ebony stain.
Greetings from central Indiana.
All the things I do well, I learned on this forum. The bad stuff, well that was trying to take a short cut.
