woodduck Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 The new saw arrived on Monday,Have it all set up now,when I first tried it it was cutting a bit vicious for me so had to rotate the motor to find that sweet spot.It is taking a bit of getting used to after my old saw ,the low speed of the new one is a lot faster than the low speed on my old saw.Oh well I will just have to practice to get it to do what I want,It is a beautiful saw though & am not sorry I bought it.

JimErn Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Very nice, one is in my immediate future too, I hope. Could you tell me where you bought the light you show on the upper arm, it appears to be zip tied? woodduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodduck Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Very nice, one is in my immediate future too, I hope. Could you tell me where you bought the light you show on the upper arm, it appears to be zip tied? I bought the light from our local Bunnings store but thats in Australia It is a LED clip on fitting & I attached it by using one of the screws in the top arm & a zip tie as well,the switch is held on top of the arm with double sided tape. oneleggimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Make the most of the shine and see how long before you scratch the surface EX-21 If I'm not mistaken Peter a fantastic saw worth every penny. woodduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Congrats on getting the new saw Peter, I hope you don't mind me asking, but how much did you pay for it? The only reason for asking, is that I wonder how much price difference there is between there and here. You will get lots of use out of it, they're built to last.

Lucky2 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Thanks for the quick reply Peter, I'll have to do some conversions of the numbers. It is a EX16 isn't it, it doesn't look large enough to be an EX21? Len woodduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I got mine about 3 or 4 years ago and it took me forever before I could say that I liked it, I still prefer my DeWalt though. I hope that you will have many happy hours of scrolling Peter. Marg woodduck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Peter Peter, congrats on the new scroll saw I got EX-16 about 3 months ago (lightly used). Haven't done a lot but I am having problems with too much front to back blade travel. I haven't messed with clocking the motor yet. Once you are happy with that process, please give me a hand. I would appreciate it. Thank you Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodduck Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Peter, congrats on the new scroll saw I got EX-16 about 3 months ago (lightly used). Haven't done a lot but I am having problems with too much front to back blade travel. I haven't messed with clocking the motor yet. Once you are happy with that process, please give me a hand. I would appreciate it. Thank you Sam Hi Sam yes I have adjusted the motor you can either put a 90 degrees set square in front of the blade so you can see what angle it is cutting or as I did put a piece of about 2" timber in front of the blade and watch where it is cutting I have mine set to just about 90 Degrees which left a faint saw cut the full height of the timber. I loosened the screws holding the motor just slightly so it just turns & turned the motor with it running till I was happy with the angle .If you run out of adjustment you can move the screws to the other end of the slot,Hope this helps you.
