I just bought the Porter Cable 16" Scroll Saw. It was already put together except for the stand. The table is no where close to perpendicular to the blade when set at zero degrees. The manual does not give any instructions on how to calabrate the table to zero. Does anyone know how?

Use the block of wood trick. cut about a 1/8" cut into the wood then pull the wood away from the saw and slide it around to the back of the blade and see if the cut lines up with the blade. If it doesn't then drop one side of the table just a little and try again. If the cut angle gets worse then drop the other side a bit and see if you can get it just right.Pacifism is great, as long as everyone is participating.

Reply to Miniature Birdhouse Ornamentsby RolfI also enjoy making these. I have also used the profiles to turn some on the lathe. I mostly use a 220 Mac mop I have a 180 for the harder woods and then finish with the 220. I do all sanding before assembly.03-22-2023, 07:08 AM

What grit do you use on the mac mop? Do you change grits for the final sanding? Do you mop sand with the bird attached?
Inquiring minds want to know.
