Introduce Yourself. / Re: New to Scrolling - Health Issues

You had a reaction who knows what else will set it off why take a risk? I wer a 3m niosh approved resperator when painting or working with dust or fumes. I had a nasty reaction to bloodwood once, I thought ok I wont turn that anymore. Then I tried turning one of those laminated blanks thats multi colored and boy did that teach me, I might as well have been turning poison ivy mixed with ghost peppers. wear a mask I even wear tight fitting long sleeves to keep it off my arms.

I am deffinetly a detail guy, I draw and paint and build wooden ships so maybe I should go with the excalibur anyways. I can hopefully sell some of what I make and use that to buy other machines.

I found a used 788 on craigslist for 250 I am pretty sure I can get it for about 175. I was ready to buya new 21 inch excalibur but with the savings I could get some other power tools. what do you guys think?

I may still use the stand but I am going to get some upgrades for my drill press and a new router table for the shop with the extra money.

well my bench is only 26 inches deep so I might have to go with the 21 inch excaliber rather than the 30. or I can put it on the stand that will come with it and put it on rollers so I can slide it out of the way in the shop.

I will have to measure my bench when I get home and see if I even have room for the 30 inch. when you get down to it the cost difference is not that much considering what you are paying for the saw already.
