Hi everyone, I have a great scroll saw, but really need something that can cut thicker stock. So I asked around about different saws, miter, circular, table and band saw. Sad thing is, I can only afford budget priced and I know you get what you pay for, but a budget is a budget. I want it to...

Bit of a repeat post, I'm sure... But please help me... I haven't touched the scroll saw in years - long, boring story - and now I'm looking to buy blades and start up again... Where is the best place to buy blades in the UK? It's hard to buy in bulk from the US when you're not sure what you...

Hi guys, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm returning to woodworking after being poorly for years and discovered a problem with a machine. I bought a ScheppachBTS800 dual sander nearly 3 years ago, that came with a wired EU ended plug and an EU to UK adapter plug. I just assumed...

Hi Everyone, I consider myself a total beginner in wood working, because I've never had the time to consistently practice and so I'm always starting a fresh. I finally have time now and am eager tk get startrd. I bought a router a few years ago, a Bosch POF1200AE and I wanted to buy a router...

Hi everyone - just wanted to stop by and wish you all a wonderful end of week and weekend. I have been very poorly for several months and so have not touched the saw or visited the forum. But things are improving and so I am back and look forward to looking through all your projects and...

Hewwo, I've been putting feelers out about wood and nothing comes back to me. I tried a coffin making company, a kitchen company and a flooring company. No responses. I've noticed how some drawer units that are veneered can have wooden carcasses on the draws, so may have to demolish to use -...

The rollers arrived - yay! But no instructions or any idea how to fit them. My Ax has a metal collar on the outside of the bar, ensuring the rollers won't fly off. But it doesn't want to move.... Any ideas?

My machine: Awfs18 My problem: Rollers As many have encountered & mentioned in older threads, the plastic tubing on the quick release tension lever on my Ax has perished and in a quick period of time & with little usage. (I've owned it for a few months, but used it very much - fear of failure &...

*Sigh* So the Hegner Quick Clamp (knurled knob jobby) arrived today and confused me. Firstly, it is the same size as my Axm clamps - yay. But... If I slot the blade in so it's touching the internal bearing, the clamp does not tighten. It looks different from the Axm, which has open slot lines...

Hi all, As previously mentioned, I'm working on the butterfly project in Scroll Saw Workbook and have got as far as the photocopy. Me thinks I'm scared of failure and so research instead of practice. Anyway, it is suggesting 3/4 pine or even thicker and a No.5 Skip Tooth Blade. So I find what...

Hi all, Well I finally cut out my first piece on my new scroll saw and I cant tell you just how great the distance is between this Axminster and my old SIP. It cuts so much better, cleaner, smoother, far less vibration and makes scrolling a pleasure, even giving me hope that I may well be able...

Hi Everyone, I bought an SIP scroll saw in June and have had endless problems with it. I only bought it to see if I would fall in love with scrolling or not, if I didn't it wasn't too much of a waste and if I did, I could upgrade later. Well ... I've had all sorts of problems, though have...

Hi everyone, I have just recently managed to buy a scroll saw, after years of researching EVERYTHING, but being unable to buy one. Now. I have one! Yay! I have painstakingly managed to source regular blades, but have not yet tried out the scroll saw AT ALL. They are various brands & TPI, but...
