pdmclardy Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Further to my previous problems with my new Excaliber 21 ex when the top connecting rod snapped while very little pressure was being used, after less than one hours use with the replacement one and while just ready to start another cut it tripped the electricity and would not start again ! done all the usual checks but still no joy so phoned the supplier this morning and turns out there is a small Glass fuse directly under where the "Kettle lead " connects to the saw , i checked this and that seems to be the problem so the supplier is now sending out new fuses for me ! if it was not for bad luck i would not have any luck at all .

Travis Posted October 24, 2011 Report Posted October 24, 2011 Uggggg....I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with the Excalibur. My understanding is that its a really solid machine. Sounds like your saw is channeling all the bad luck. Hopefully this will be the last of your troubles. From here on out, it'll be smooth sailing! Quote
pdmclardy Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Posted October 25, 2011 I do hope you are right Travis as it is very frustrating, as i have my first ever craft show on the 10th November and little time to do anything , i had been all ready to put in a good days scrolling when this happened I also have two portraits to do for friends so hoping for a good run of luck!

Mick Posted October 25, 2011 Report Posted October 25, 2011 Peter, don't want to rain on your parade, but there is usually a reason for a fuse blowing. I hope it was just a fluke and the new fuse will solve your problem. Good luck with it. Mick Quote

chippygeoff Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Re-the comment from Tigerhellmaker. That guy on the UK Workshop site is a con artist. I would not take on board anything he has to say. He posted about 150 pieces of scroll saw work onto the site and claimed it was all his own work when in fact it was items of work done by many other highly skilled scrollers. I am sorry to have to post this. I get on well with everyone but this guy just made me see red. I doubt if he even has an excalibur, he just post things on different sites. He is in Poland and I think he must be bored. Geoff. Quote
