It looks to me like you have too many saws and not enough time. I could defiantly help you out with that! :drool: I have been eyeballing one of those yellow beauties but can’t swing a new one right now. :luv: My old 2 speed Dremel is wearing out fast with all I have been putting it thru lately. I purchased it about 20 years ago when I didn’t know if I would use a scroll saw very much. It has held up like a champ with about 1000 hours on it.( I figured I might get about 200 hours out of a cheap saw like that.)

Anyway if you need to get rid of one of those saws just let me know. I would be more then glad to help you out. Lol :D;)

Enjoy the new saw you lucky Dog you.

Do you remember Gary's post last October on the DW light?

You might consider it on your new machine which has the DW lite on it.  I made the change on mine and really like the improvement.  Just a piece of PVC, some super glue, and a new bulb.

 

I also really like "The Lifter" in the banner at the top even though my saw is not elevated at the back.:

Happy sawing!

thanks marge ,richard an dan,this ones sweet tight as a drum .all three were used but this is the best of the lot.BUT i did find a problem with this one  that i havent had on the other two..and it just happens to be the bearing i cant get out .Oh well live an learn,thought i checked it real good but for the 120 mile round trip it was worth it to get it with a minor flaw.. If i could get grease in the bearing it would last a long time.I have a hypodermic syringe thats used for exact placement of axle grease .i had it 10 20 years as i knew i would need it someday..Long wait huh :)

I had tried earlier to give you a "thumbs up" on the new toy. For some reason it did not go! I have had that happen before; so I do not worry about it!

 

Now, congratuilations on the new saw.   But throw the excuse of a light away and go to  a spring arm lamp and just drill holes in your saw-mount plate so you can move it where-ever you need it.

 

I think I have mailed pics of mine. If not and you want to see some just email back--

I think I would have trouble sleeping in my shop with my tools as the saw dust would get into my cpap and I would be breathing in all that saw dust. LOL! When I'm home I do sleep in my sewing studio, but I don't inhale all those sewing needles.... I have't sewn a stitch in a while as I'm staying in Sequim to help care for our mother. Well going down to the shop in a few minutes so best get crackin' Have a great day. Oh great buy on the DeWalt.... Fay
