I think I spelled that right. Anybody ever use Obeeche plywood you anything? If so, can you give me your opinion on its usefulness, both on scrollsaw work and for anything else. I have a chance at getting 6 sheets (4'X8' by 1/4" thick) for $30. It appears to be pretty nice looking plywood,I think its 5 ply, its much lighter in weight compared to baltic birch, but the price has me thinking i should go back and buy it. Thoughts? Thanks, Dale

Never heard of it before Lucky. A quick google search shows it is from Africa and prized for its strength AND light weight. Looks like it is used to build racing boat frames...... Go for it, its just your money......"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces.

Thanks you all for your input. The stuff is definatly 5 ply, and although the softness of it troubles me a little, the price keeps poking at my brain too.Its been a few days now, and hes got to have it out by the end of the week, so I might just stop in there and see if the price dropped any. theres also about 6 to 8 sheets of 1/4th thick red oak ply,but its that fiber core crap, so Im not real interested in it, even at (i think) $10 a sheet. I dunno, I'll pop in there and check it out more. daleDale w/ yella saws

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby RolfI have both types of saw A tilting table Hawk g426 and an Older Excalibur with a tilting head. Unlike Carole for bevel cuts I prefer the tilting head I do larger projects and it is easier for me.
Regarding compound cuts they are cut at 90 degrees.

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby handibunnyIf you have a good saw, and can set the table accurately, you should be good to go. Give a holler if you need help. ðŸ˜
Randy, I swapped out the clamps on the Jet for the Pegas clamps as soon as they became available. I found the Jet clamps just too fidgety for my taste.-
