Old_Man Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, Been hanging around here for a while but never posted anything. I've been scrolling for about two years now. I tried it around 30 years ago and it wasn't my cup of tea then. I dug out the old scroll saw and tried it again and it stuck. My old saw (a 35-40 year old Craftsman) died recently. I'm almost retired so I didn't want to spend a lot on a new one. Bought a PC from Lowes and it's not very good. Walked into my local Woodcraft today and they had four 21" Excaliburs that had just come in. Seems like there had been a mix-up with an order they placed over a year ago. Now they only have three! I got 10% off also including the stand. Just got it home and now I've got to assemble it.

Scrappile Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 WOW! An Ex.! You have a great saw. The Ex is no longer made, and it is a great saw, in my opinion. Glad you joined. If you ever need parts or advice about your Ex, go to Seyco.com. Great people. They sold the Ex for years and still carry parts for them. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
