Jean-Marc Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I read some where on the net a while ago, that the Excalibur is adjustable in 2 positions in order to be able using the blade on two different area. For the owners of Excalibur, could you please explain how to make this setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrolling Steve Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have the EX21 and have no idea what you mean......The head tilts rather than the table as on most saws....That is the only different adjustment i am aware of!?!

Scrappile Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The Hegner has an adjustment that you can use. I read about it in my instruction book but don't remember much about it. I am not aware of one for the Ex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Not being a ex owner but my gut feeling is they may be talking about turning the blade sideways to do long cuts normally impossible, is all that comes to mind.My dremil 18" could do that.The blade holder has capability's to do just that!

WayneMahler Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 I have an EX-21 and don't know of anything like this. The head tilts and the table stays flat. Are you talking about a compound mitered cut? Sorry I am a little confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtP Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) They say that you can raise and lower the arm with the upper arm adjuster(knob at the back) to use a different part of the blade. This is from the manual: "This saw has an adjustment knob K in the rear that can raise the blade mount up to 1†(25 mm). This allows youto fine tune blade tension when needed, as well as to reposition the saw blade at a point where you can usea different part of the blade in the cutting area. This also allows you to use a piece of band saw blade, cut toa length of 5â€- 6†(127-150 mm) in your saw, and gives you up to 3 inch cutting capacity when needed. Note: Do not over tension the knob as this can cause premature wear and damage to the machine." I have also read that it is best to leave the arm level, that's what I do.

Jean-Marc Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) Yes Angus, this is what I'm talking about, will follow your advice, to leave the arm level. But it's something interresting if it was easy to change the level to use the blades on another area. More economical also. May be one day the technology will permit it. Thanks a lot for the info.
