How many saws and why? - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

scrollsawwoodart · 01-17-2009, 01:00 PM

Just curious about how may saws you have setup and running and why. Not thinking of spares that are sitting and not being used. Does each saw have a specific function.

Just a curious inquiry

Jesse : I'll try to make this short , just talking about the scroll saws in the shop of course the big yellow 788 which is the main saw that does all the fine cutting and I have my old craftsman 16" scroll saw that has the sandpaper thats cut to fit it that is used for my fine detail sanding on the Christmas oranments and for all my smaller detail sanding uses also . Hope this is kind of what you meant by your question.....

I have 2 set-up and running (along with 2 spares). The second one is so that my 10 yr. old daughter can scroll with her daddy.

ex 30, dewalt 788, delta little baby. Too many other tools to name, ok most of them have names but that is between us.

I have two saws but I am not quite good enough to use them both at the same time yet..

So I guess one is used as a back-up saw, LOL

Main saw is a Dremel 1800
Back-up saw is a Delta 16" 2 speed
And of course table saws and miter saws ect..

I never thought of setting the old one up to sand..Might just have to do that..

Thanks for the idea,

Kevin

18" hegner, sears table saw (which hubby uses for me), 14" Jet band saw.

Let's add: how many sanders & drill presses do you have? 1 ryobe orbital soon to be replaced by a Rigid orbital/belt sander, 1 bosch hand held, 1 dewalt drum sander, 1 dewalt 1 1/2" belt sander, & 1 delta 3" (4?) belt sander. 5 drill presses all to make a Partridge in a Pear tree! LOL
