    Scroll saw lubrication?

    Found my noise, I think! When I hold the machine down tightly, the noise goes away. I built a new bench and I think the normal vibrations of the machine are amplified by the empty and hollow bench.

    Drill press question

    I just got a new bench top drill press. This new drill press has a variable speed lever unlike my old model that you had to move the belts in order to change speeds.

    I will have to drop out of today's class. Something important came up. I already paid for the class and I would like the club to keep the donation. I hope you have somebody else to take my spot. I am sure it will be a great class and my loss. Jim Barnes

    Scrolling for Beginners - Workshop

    I do, I just purchased a Wen LL2156 21 Inch thats the new saw that take pinless blades. I do not have a stand I work off a work bench that I have in my shop but it is attached. Should I look for for a bench to bring? Maybe something more portable? Save the opening for me.
