General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: HELP!!!!

I have tried spirals but they do not suite the style of they way I cut as I also was breaking them, and I have also found that I break the #02 flat blades if I have too much tension on them, they can not take as much tension as a larger blade such as a #3 or #5 this must also apply to a spiral

Go to your suppliers and check it out, the normal quarts movement would not support the weight of heavy hands and would probably ruin the movement

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Ex-30 vs 788

We don't have much of a choice in NZ that is why I have an EX 21, the next one down is $400 cheaper but it has to be modified so I am told so I thought what is the point, I am happy with the EX the vibration is zero and only just noticeable at high speed which I don't use so it does not bother me, but like any machine they all have good and bad points

Use sanding sealer not the water base, sand it lightly with a fine grit paper and put your danish over the top for a harder finish
