Does anyone know what happened to Intarsia92? I only know that his first name was Al. He is an incredible Intarsia artist and was just curious if he was still creating. Thank you!

Ask Steve a question. / Problem with the Bat of Aug 15 '24
« Last post by OldWood on August 26, 2024, 04:43:53 am »Hi Steve
I've downloaded a number of your projects over the years and have never had a misalignment though I am in the UK and am using A4 size paper.
The Bat however is not aligning in a number of places, and having looked more carefully at the outlines I think this might be a drawing problem.
In general the body does not align with the wings, the tail is not centre to the body (you can see that the curve on the RH side of the tail is not equal to that on the left), the shape of the upper wing 'fingers' do not match those on the body, and the cut outs on each wing are not in the same place - this last is not critical but you can see that on the left the cut-out structure aligns with the wing projections, but that on the right does not, nor does it align with the 'fingers' either.
I am trying to find a way to resolve these discrepancies, but feel it is better if I give feedback to see if the matter can be resolved.
Regards
Rob

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Delta 40-694 table not square to blade front to back
« Last post by garryatpa on August 24, 2024, 04:31:37 pm »Hi again Russell.. Sorry I didn't realize your saw is the newer Delta similar to the Dewalt 788. Below is the link to a video to adjust the side to side movement of the blade and get it centered in the blade holder. There is another video I believe, but could not find, that shows the adjustment for the back to front movement of the blade by loosening bolts holding the motor and turning the motor a hair in either direction as required to adjust the position of the blade. Check the tension of the blade that it is tight enough to take out any slack. When you are sawing make sure you push straight back as you turn your piece of wood to make your circle. As you are sawing, "stop", lift your hands off the wood and if the blade causes the wood to move back into place aligned with the blade it could mean that you are pushing to the side as you push back. Hope I have not confused you and that this helps you .

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Delta 40-694 table not square to blade front to back
« Last post by garryatpa on August 24, 2024, 01:48:23 pm »Hi Russell. Pics would help if you could. I don't really understand why you have a wider cut at the bottom if your blade is at 90 degrees side to side. Are you able to check the squareness of the blade to the table when the blade is at the top of its stroke and again at the bottom of the stroke ? It seems as if the top or bottom arm of the saw is moving sideways as it moves up and down. If the blade moves slightly out of square front to back as it moves up and down should not affect the width of the kerf at the bottom but if the arm or saw blade itself moves side to side as the saw is cutting it will affect the cut causing the piece to be removed to not come out either up or down. A couple of issues could cause this situation - the bearing or bushing in the arm is worn allowing side to side movement, or the blade is not centered in the blade clamps ( that is, the top or bottom of the blade should be moved , if possible, by adjusting the clamp so the blade is centered in the clamp .
When you say the blade is not 90 degrees front to back I think of a C-arm saw where the blade actually tilts front to back in an arc as the saw blade moves up and down . This is the way a C-arm saw works because it only has one pivot point at the lower back of the C- arm.
I hope this may help you. I have no experience with this saw. I have run into this kind of problem where the blade is not centered in the clamp at the top or bottom and adjusting the clamp , possibly at both top and bottom , may be required to get the blade centered and sawing at 90 degrees side to side.
