Hi thanks for your help. All clamping issues are now sorted and I can actually get on with some scrolling. Best regards George

Hi thanks for the reply. The clamps are the same as the one in the bottom picture. It's not the top clamp I'm having trouble with but the bottom one, it flips over when I try to tighten it. Regards George

I had a scheppach sd16 scroll saw for crimbo. Up until now I have used it with big pinned blades. However, I now want to go a bit finer, so have tried fitting a fine pinless blade but I can't do it. The top clamp is no problem but I can't get it in the bottom. As soon as I try to nip up th grub...

Thanks Andy, That's very helpful. George

Hi all, Haven't been on here for a while. I did have an excalibur ex16 which I loved using, but I abused with heavy woodwork and it final gave up on me. I should put some effort into fixing it, but I'd just bought a lathe and turning was my new passion. Anyway I'm missing sc roll sawing, so I...

Been turning for a year now and this is my latest creation. A lidded box with a shoal of fish burnt onto the side with my pyrography iron. The wood is lime and the size of the box is roughly3 x 3 inches. Thanks for looking.

I use a Peter Childs machine and find it very good. I recommend using spoon tips. Never tried the razor tip machine so I can't comment on that.

An amazing piece of work, well done and thanks for showing.

I have the planet mandrel and recently got the saver from the turnersworkshop. It's nice bit of kit.

That looks good to me. I am new to turning too but have not tried doing a bowl yet.

Very nice, well done.

Good news, I cleaned it, greased it and replaced the blown fuse and it is now running like a dream. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Sam

Hi thanks for the suggestions. So far I have removed the plate on the opposite side of the motor and I am able to turn the mechanism by moving the blade end linkage up and down. Nothing seems to be jammed, and no bits of wood stuck in the linkages, above or below. I was just about to take the...

Hi thanks for the quick reply. There is no buz when switched on but will do the other things you have suggested. Thanks sam

Hi, can any of you experienced scroll sawers help a man in a fix. I have an Excalibur16 which I have had for 4 years with no problems. However, today I cut a couple of pieces of wood but when I went to do another the saw was dead. It has power and the fuse is ok. I have removed the blade and...

Very sad news. I am 65 years old but somehow I didn't discover Leonard until 5 years ago, since then he bought me immense pleasure.

Great piece of work. I think he's saying he wants to go walkies. Sam

A very nice job and an inspiration to others. Sam

Thanks for the quick reply and the good new, I was hoping the answer was in the bushings. I have just purchased a mandrel saver but haven't used it yet. Thanks again Sam

Hi, I have purchased a 7mm pen turning kit from a well known supplier and made a few slimline pens. I am enjoying making them because they are quick projects to fit in between other duties. Anyway, I would like to start making some of the other pen styles I have seen. I have noted that most...
