General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Fonts for name plate

« on: November 08, 2014, 11:37:16 am »

We keep hearing about text manipulation
and I have found that using inkscape is the best, in fact I have just put together a tutorial in word about this following a request from Mike (dunk in another thread
I cannot upload it as the file is too big as it contains  a few screen shots but if any one is interested then just mail me and I will send it to you (1.5mb)
regards
Dave

Dunk
I can see your problem.
Obviously you are typing the word and then pressing enter on your key board to start the next line, but it dont work like that.
do this start the proram and it will default to words "Scroll Saw"
now check the multi line box, that will put the wording in the centre of the screen
now go to the "blank Height" and set it to maximum
now go to you text input and type "scroll saw again at he side of the first one
you should now have two lines the first saying "Scroll Saw Scroll" and the second saying "saw"
now go to the "blank width" and reduce it and it will get to a point that it suddenly sets "Scroll Saw" under "Scroll Saw"
of course this is greatly reducing the length and height, so you would be as well doing the same thing using inkscape or similar so that you can make it exactly what size you want

hope thats as clear as mud for you

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: current converter

« on: October 23, 2014, 12:27:23 pm »

Ray
thank you very much for going to the time and trouble on this
my reason for looking at the 788 was that it has that bit more speed than the average animal. It is now clear though that short of an expensive converter, the 788 would actually run a little slower than the EX21. So maybe I may go down that route sometime soon, it would be nice to have something with a lift arm for those portrait cut.
The one ironic thing is that I could actually import the 788 including all shipping and import duties, for 2 thirds of the price of the EX 21 in this country
but there by the grace of god go I.
thanks again
Dave
