koehler788 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Still haven't gotten my saw fixed yet, but I was cleaning out one of my cabinets in the garage, looking for weed killer and Lew and behold! I came across an old Dremel 16†scroll saw. It's all rusty and full of old saw dust and spider webs. BUT it works ( or at least runs ). I am in the process of cleaning it with penetrating oil and 600 grit sandpaper, after that wax the top with some car wax. Then possibly cut a lexan top to make a zero clearance opening. This man is somewhat excited. Hope it holds out until I can save enough for a new ex-21 wombatie, Phantom Scroller, amazingkevin and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneleggimp Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 What a great discovery. Glad you're going to be "back in business" soon. Shows that sometimes hanging onto an older tool is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I had a couple of Dremel saws! The 2 speed was actually a good saw. The first D I had was the one with thee 2-3/4 blades and a sheet metal table! Made a lot of things with it too> I had bought it used and still had 20+years of moderate use from it. Sure beat "no-saw" oneleggimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
