new2woodwrk Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I keep hearing about these Excalibur machines - there is one for sale relatively near me for $450 Is this a decent one/price? Excalibur 19 inch scroll saw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 That's a old one.. Might not be a bad price.. but.. I'd wait it out for a newer model.. They haven't made that 19" saw for a lot of years.. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I don't know much about the older models of Excalibur but this one is old. I think the ones with the motor mounted up high in the back would be the ones to go after. But, like I said, I don't know all that much.

Probably not a bad deal but the overall design has to be different so it might not be as vibration free. You might want to wait for the more learned folks to chime in. I am trying to find some info on the different models and model years. I have seen a few of the older types for sale but they don't seem to sell.

Scrappile Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 It is old, looks to be in good condition. You probably would not be able to get some of the parts for it anymore, i.e., that motor and the linking in the arms,,, don't make 19" anymore. However if it runs good, it should last a long time. For $200, ya you could get $200 worth of work out of it. The blade clamps are the part of the machine that maybe is replaced most often, if the modern ones would fit it,, You could call Seyco and ask. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Paul, what do you know about the difference in operation? I see these older ones run the lower arm and the new one run both upper and lower arms. I would think that old design would make for more vibration like the older Deltas.

Lucky2 Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 Pass on this saw, parts are no longer available for it. It is no longer supported by Excaliber, and I don't know if parts are interchangeable from the newer saws.

WayneMahler Posted February 8, 2018 Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I ran into an older machine for a similar price. I wrote Ray @ seyco.com about it. Parts were not available . So I passed on it. I ended up buying a new EX-21 and haven't looked back since. new2woodwrk and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
