My project got postponed until I get back from Disney.

I bought an scr controller to control speed, I may add that to the project. I also ordered a little 3” screened soffit vent to use to vent the hot air coming through the motor. So waiting on that from Amazon. Also waiting on...

Hey, I acknowledge this won't be of interest to many of you, but maybe one or two of you will like it.

If HVLP isn't familiar to you, it stands for High Velocity Low Pressure. The technology is used primarily by cabinet makers, fine furniture finishers, or is increasingly used for painting...

Duke, as you discovered, the 3921 is a rebrand of horrible design. I hope you get the chance the try a truly good saw someday, you will be shocked.

Perhaps the Wen LL2156 is that better saw, it's hard to tell this early. It is more that 3 times more expensive than the 3921. ($110 vs $400),...

Sorry for the Novel . . . read until you get bored, or scan, or skip . . . . . I commented, and gave some tips.

As Scott mentioned, Super Pike is the best I've found, but Regular Pike is almost as good, so I would find the best price between those. I've done pretty good on Amazon. The Same...

I've done a few of these . . . lol. There are some really delicates cuts done on Dewalts. Usually when the blade touches the metal, the metal will stabilize out the blade. You can google "fixing blade travel on the dewalt scroll saw" to find help on how to tweak it a little. That usually involves...
