I order from Rockler frequently ( to frequently according to my wife:( ) My last three orders have been nothing short of excelllent. Arrive on time The one last week was actually a day early. I will applaud Rockler for that even tho it was probably the carrier ( UPS ). I do that because if something is late arriving I tend to want to blame the sender so this kinda evens it out some. Orderd a set of brad point bits several months ago and when I opened the box, then the drill bit case, the 1/16 in bit was missing. I sent an e-mail to Rockler, got an answer back the same evening and the replacement arrived with in two days. Bottom line, their customer service is excellent IMHO.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Double Sided Tape
« on: October 06, 2012, 07:53:41 pm »
For most of my stack cutting, I use double sided tape that come from the dollar store. Looks like a roll of regular scotch tape and only cost $1. I usually put a strip across the top, bottom and one in the middle. Cannot recall ever having item break wine taking it off. It is not as good as the Woodcraft tape but it works fine for me. I also wrap over the edges of thestack with clear tape. Then I apply the pattern.

Judy,
The star and mop do look different. the mop looks much fuller. The star comew with 3 - stars - for lack of as better word. I put them on with 2 spacers between each (for a less aggressive cut) I "broke them in with a scrap piece of oak and the became fuller. But still not as full as them mop. The star comes already cut and assembled. All you have to do is put them on the three pieces on the arbor. Maybe some more familiar can she more light on the differences. Could be a case of I you think the star is good, wait till you try the mop.

This week I received my sanding mop. I order it from Rockler and they call them Sanding Stars. Seems Sanding Mop is a brand name for Sand Flee. The come three to a pack with a number of spacers. The more spacers one uses, the less aggressive the star sands. I also ordered the arbor , but next time all I need is the stars. So far I am very pleased.

These saws are made in the next county over from me. I had heard about them from a fellow scroller but had forgotten. I need to make a point to get in touch with him

The pattern is actuall 1/4 inch short in height. I like fraction, hate decimals. type in 1.25 instead of 1.50 but you see what I mean. When she told me she painted it red, I was kinda doubtful, but it really looks good. I went back and painted one blue and it too looks fine. I still like the natural wood though.

Sprayed some puzzle pieces earlier this morning and still waiting for them to be dry to the touch. Humidity is 84%. Things painted like this in lower humidity are usually dry to the touch in 10-15 minutes. At least today when folks ask what I'm doing I can answer Drying Paint~!
