Nick@tinkers-cove Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi everyone. My names Nick, and I'm a scrollerholic. (Round of applause from group) Today I started using the hard stuff - I'm ashamed to say I've been introduced to EX-30 by a dealer and now I'm completely hooked. I've been told that from now on my life and relationships will suffer greatly..."OH WELL - I'M SURE I'LL MANAGE! LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick@tinkers-cove Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Nick what did you have before? I had a Scheppach Deco-Flex, Roly. It really was overworked to be honest. The tension rod gave out in the end (the threads were rounded). The amount of times I wound that wheel (every time I had to release / tighten the tension) would probably equate to how often a trucker changed gears in a year! I put some decent stuff out over the last 18 months - so for my 1st saw (entry level as well) it served it's purpose and it taught me a lot...so R.I.P (Rust In Peace) LOL Edited April 1, 2014 by Nick@tinkers-cove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Good morning Nick Silence is Golden after an hour of applauding on your move up to a scroll saw that will make yourself ask why I waited so long. You will find yourself enjoying scrolling even more with this precision machine improving your life. As for relationships, that to will improve, over time. Congrats and enjoy.

The difference is just amazing. I can't move away! I do however, feel grateful to have worked hard on an 'entry level' saw and moved up...rather than having to drop down. I have always been very humble, but I feel that I've kinda earned this. I can't wait to see what it produces - it seems to cut all on it's own. Kindest Regards, Nick.

amazingkevin Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I full well know the meaning of your post.I wouldn't have wanted it any other way either. Fun and immense enjoyment i had on low grade saws for years and years was incredible. Not knowing there was better and a lot better to be had with all the creature comforts.Those years weren't wasted all all.I has happy as a lark being out of work and being productive instead of being glued to the boob tube.Pure joy and gratification of making little money and giving countless joy to others with my work was satisfying enough.Maybe just maybe i'll get to try a excaliber, GOD willing!

Phantom Scroller Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Nick now lets see what you turn out now your can take the ear defenders off. I have had mine for over a year now and just love using it. You certainly feel the difference from your previous saw without a doubt it's money well spent. Happy Days Nick.

wombatie Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I know how you feel Nick. I started with a 16" Delta and loved every second on it, so much so I worked it to death. The saddest part is that it belonged to Terry and he never used it not even once. Then I got myself a DeWalt and boy was I in heaven, now I have a Ex21 as well. So joy of joys I have 2 great saws and I love every second of them also. Congratulations I hope you and your new saw have many happy years together.

Rover2 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Know how you feel Nick. I just bought an EX-21 which replaced a Craftsman 16 inch. What a difference!!! Can't keep me away from it. Hope you enjoy your new saw as much as I enjoy mine. AL Nick@tinkers-cove 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansnow Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I can add another amen to this thread. I started on a Dremel 2 speed 16" that for 9 months [i worked as hard as I could. Made and sold many a project with that saw. Then last June I got my Anniversary Edition 21" Excaliber and have really really enjoyed it. There was a bit of a learning transition but now I can't imagine using anything else. My son inherited the Dremel, has used it just as hard, and hopefully by this time next week he'll have a new DW788. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Prozora Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I know exactly how you feel Nick. Mt Shop Fox conked out after having it for about 6 months, but it can be fixed and used as a back up. I now have the Big Yellow Dewalt 788 and love it! Got it about the middle of February and it is still going strong. I hope my saw will last for a long , long time before I'll have to do things like change the motor brushes and all that stuff. So I know how it is getting a new saw. Enjoy your new saw Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
