New Seyco Branded (EX-ish) Scroll Saw

Out of everything we know about the saw, that is the best news of all

If it's true. I may be wrong but it's hard to believe it will be cheaper. People are jumping up and down to by the EX at the asking price so why would they sell a model with more goodies for less?  Of coarse I have been wrong before. I know, I know it's hard to believe.   :lol:

Don (haweye10), I see no reason that Ray would say the saw would likely be a little bit cheaper if he did not believe that to be true.

 

As to the reason that Ray would sell the ST-21 for a little less than the EX-21, perhaps he is being altruistic.  More likely, he is setting such a price to make Seyco very competitive with other EX-21 clones and spin-offs.

Brian, why would Woodcraft carry a Seyco branded saw?  I doubt that would be good for either Woodcraft or Seyco.

 

More to the point, why would you want to purchase it from Woodcraft rather than Seyco?

 

Oh yes, another thing Brian -we have already heard from Ray at Seyco and his answer is in a post in this thread.

Thanks Tony now that I know what to search for, I'll get on it.

 

Edit.  Found it, the line we have is 1/4" correct?

Yep 1/4" Jim just make sure your saw has the lock line type.It will work just a little tough to snap together.I bought all new hose and tips for 2 saws and a lock line pliers

Woodcraft carried the Excalibur.

 

I would buy the new saw from my local woodcraft store rather than have it shipped from Seyco. I have had 2 saws shipped via UPS (Hawk and Hegner) and never again. The Hawk had to be returned (at my expense) because of excessive vibration and I should have returned the Hegner for a multitude of reasons. I will only buy from a local source. Been burned too often in the past. Also, I would be able to test drive the saw at my local Woodcraft store which is very important to me.

I had posted a question using the feedback form, but was surprised to get an actual call from Ray.  It sounds like most of the internals of the new saw (head, clamps, rods) should be parts compatible with the older saws.  Ray indicated that the table was not.  Once these saws are out in the wild, it would be interesting to see how deep the changes actually go.  You can see from the picture they changed the base, so I'm betting the new base would connect to the old core, thus allowing the new table and such.  Who knows.  Hopefully, someone on the forum that is adventurous/curious will buy one and dig in.

I wonder about the larger table and, in particular, the  much longer distance from the front of the table to the blade.

As part of my large  'Tap Dancing in the Rain' piece (see: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/17682-tap-dancing-in-the-rain-completed),I made a replacement table top for my older EX-30 saw and that table worked well. 

 

But, I quickly reverted to the original table top when I resumed work on smaller pieces.  The smaller table just seems more comfortable to me.
