Harry Barton Posted June 22, 2019 Report Posted June 22, 2019 Hi all, I'm from Shropshire, in the UK and used scroll saws years ago when I worked in the education sector. Just recently a load of scrolling videos have popped up on my youtube recommendations, inspiring me to buy a scroll saw, although at this stage I don't know what I'll end up creating! Sawdust and firewood probably. Anyway, I've looked at several models and was considering ordering a Proxxon 16" 2 speed for £379, when a Delta Q3 18" variable speed saw with its own stand came up on ebay. £100 later (and a trip to Huddersfield), the saw's set up in my shed and I've already made some very good dust and firewood. I'm looking forward to learning more about using the scroll saw and no doubt will have many questions for those with more experience. Phantom Scroller, bobscroll and meflick 3 Quote

Nice to have a few more Brits on board. I'm from the UK originally but now live in New Zealand. I also own a Q3 (Type 2) which is a great saw. I have a copy of the manual and parts diagram which I can send you if you like. Just drop me a PM. Welcome again, and be sure to post pictures of your work. We love pictures! Rob Harry Barton 1 Quote

I think mine's a type 2 also. My niece spent a couple of years in NZ and enjoyed the experience. She's back home now though. My son lives in Toronto (on a two-year work visa), but I've only been abroad a few times. Quote
