Lucky2 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Posted February 14, 2018 Nicely done, how was the new Jet to use, was it any different then any other scroll saw? Len Quote

Len The jet was fantastic. Due to the lack of noticeable vibration, the small detail cuts were easy. I would compare it to my old Dewalt(Canada mfg.), as far as power and ease of cutting all types of wood. The jet has more adjustments for fine tuning (blade tension and movement) than the Dewalt. The plus with the jet is the ease of blade changes and the top arm adjustment which allows the arm to stay up when doing inside cuts. It works a lot better than my old Porter Cable saw. My Porter Cable worked fine until the vibration issue became a problem. The PC was over 4 years old, not worth fixing. Bar any problems, this will be my last saw! Here's a couple more I did... bobscroll and Lucky2 2 Quote
bobscroll Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 Two more to look at, And they look real nice! I like the tree of life you did, Thank you for posting, Bob Quote
Rockytime Posted February 15, 2018 Report Posted February 15, 2018 You're doing some nice work on that Jet. Quote
Lucky2 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Posted February 16, 2018 Art, these last two projects are very nice looking also, how was the jet to use for inlay work? Have you ever tried using an EX21 scroll saw, they're a lot like the jet? Len Quote
Vector01 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Report Posted February 19, 2018 Hi Lucky2: Never used the Ex21. But appears to be the same as Jet. My understanding is the Jet is the new EX21? The inlay worked fine. Could have used a smaller blade to reduce the kerf on the cheese board. I usually use the Olson 5R blade for most of my projects. Quote
heppnerguy Posted February 19, 2018 Report Posted February 19, 2018 Both projects came out really well. I am using my new EX and loving it also. So glad I found one for sale and it was brand new for $200. The only thing I would change if I were doing these two project is, I believe a black backer board would have made the tree of live stand out better. Good work on it Dick heppnerguy Quote
