jellis Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have a new ex-21 scroll saw and the blade as started vibrating really bad. Any help? jellis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 What adjustments have you tried Joe? Have you the proper tension on the blade? You should be able to adjust the tension with the knob on top of the back arm. The blade should have a fairly high pitch when flicked with finger.

jellis Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Thanks for the reply, Ron. I have good tension on the blade but it keeps jumping and making it hard to work with fretwork. jellis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summertime Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi, there is lots of info an adjusting the EX 21 on the web, have a search, I have EX 30. I dont run at top speed, I have turned the Motor at the back of the machine until the front to back movement of the blade is at its minimum. all the info is out there, I think I also read in depth article by Shiela Landry (?) Maybe there is a fault , but try the adjustments Regards Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

summertime Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 HI, how you doing with your machine Regards Roy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Yes, let us know. I'm interested. And on that, it is interesting what you will find when you search for a topic. I did a search on 'vibrating blade'. I found, again, that Target has everything: Find Blades Vibrating Today. Shop Blades Vibrating at Target.com. And another one: A futuristic bladed weapon that has Absurd Cutting Power due to the fact that it vibrates. So maybe a little vibration is good.

amazingkevin Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Wow i thought the ex machines were the holy grail of scroll saws??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) I'd like to know how you've solved this one, not that my EX 21 has had any issues except me pulling the side plug out and thinking the machine packed in what a idiot dah.

jellis Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I haven't had a chance to work on it yet. I am going to get on it Monday and as soon as I get it fixed I will let you all know. Thanks again for all your help I don't know what I would do without this great group, and that goes for all of you. Thanks, jellis Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
