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.

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...
