Thank you for a very easy to understand video! Just got my new DeWalt Scroll Saw and set it up on my DeWalt Scroll Saw stand. I have a ton of 2x4's, wasn't sure what to do with them, but now I do! Thanks for mentioning Steve Good, I will check out his channel and get some ideas there too. Merry Christmas!
Great video Steve Good is really the Scrollsaw Man I have same DeWalt Scrollsaw It cut 2x4 just fine but I have the same trouble you have the never seem to want to slide apart it drove me nuts a couple months ago I finally bought the saw I wanted for years the Hegner PolyMax and when I cut 2x4s now they slide right apart either way front to back or back to front I couldn’t believe how square the cut was could never get the dewalt to do that I’ve been scrolling for almost 40 years
Tom Horsman the second saw I got was a small Hegner used it for 30 plus year needed a bigger saw I’d read a lot of reviews an the DeWalt seemed to be what I wanted but when I went to cutting inch to inch an a half it was the biggest letdown of any Scrollsaw I’d ever used I’ve cut on a lot over the years it is great for fret work an thin stuff that’s just not what I do
Great video I have learned a lot from Steve Good he really great I I have the DeWalt the same as yours I have never been able to cut 2x4 stock an be able to slide it out in both detections I noticed you were have trouble also it will slide one or the other but I have an old Hegner PloyMax 3 an I can cut 2x4 an it is true 90° it slides both ways I like the DeWalt but not for thick stock
Thanks for Watching! Cutting out the centers is easy, first you drill a hole in the cutout, then you take off the blade from the top holder and feed it thru the hole, re tension and cut, super simple to do!
Hello Tom, some good tips on here, thanks for showing the sewing machine light, it looks really good, I have just bought a good used scroll saw but it does'nt have a light so one of those would be great, also do you know what that font is called (eg the lettering for Baker and Mouse ) that you are using in this video, Thanks.
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Hello Tom, thanks for your reply, I have Steve Goods pattern maker with the ( Mouse/Baker) font built in and also the signmaker thing with loads of fonts but I dont think its on there. on pattern maker its just called Scrollsaw.
Thanks for Watching Wendy! That’s a question with no great answer, allot time the blade manufacturer will recommend the speed for the blade and thickness. For me I go with what works for what I’m cutting, I kinda play around with based on thickness and variety of the wood until I comfortable. Hope this helps...
I have been using the sewing machine lights for 3 years and I recommend them for anyone that uses a scrollsaw or bandsaw, they are wonderful I got them on Amazon 2 light 20 LED set for $14.96, have tried the 30 LED weren't as bright
do you ever have a problem with the letters breaking off due to they are to thin ? i have a project i like to make invoveing letters and on the top of a s at the end seems to eraken and break off any advice ? Thankyou and God Bless.
What kind of blade are you using , I’ve tried scrolling a 2x4 and it doesn’t cut . I tried moving it around like you on the video but the darn blade isn’t cutting and it’s a new blade.
Here’s the link to the light www.amazon.com/EVISWIY-Lighting-Workbench-Flexible-Gooseneck/dp/B07PZS5PZF/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=sewing+machine+light&qid=1612440906&sr=8-9
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, I've watched countless videos on UA-cam, asked a bunch of questions but I still don't know what I'm doing wrong. Whenever I cut even very thin wood my hands hurt after about a minute due to how hard I have to hold the wood so it's not jumping. I know it's not right and watching how loose your grip is makes me frustrated that it should be easy but it's so difficult for me. It's turned me away from using my saw almost completely but I dont want to just give up altogether. Is it my blades, my saw, myself? I don't get it.

Thanks for Watching Wendy! Blade size and type of wood and how tight the radius you are cutting will control that. Also with the blade tensioned check the squareness of the blade to the table. It helps to have it as square as possible. Hope this helps...

Thanks for watching Jerry! Thanks for the tip on the Hegner, I’ve seen them but never used one. Stay healthy!

Thanks for watching! Good to know about the Hegner!
I cannot watch scrolling videos without rotating my phone along with the work being done 😂
Lol! Thanks for watching Mark!
Nice job Tom, now I'm interested in seeing how you cut the centers of the letters out.
Thanks for Watching! Cutting out the centers is easy, first you drill a hole in the cutout, then you take off the blade from the top holder and feed it thru the hole, re tension and cut, super simple to do!
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ ok cool I was wondering how you did that without cutting lines through everything. Thanks Tom.
very nice......
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Great scrolling where did you get those lights on your scroll saw they work real good
Thanks for watching! Amazon, just search for sewing machine magnetic light
Hello Tom, some good tips on here, thanks for showing the sewing machine light, it looks really good, I have just bought a good used scroll saw but it does'nt have a light so one of those would be great, also do you know what that font is called (eg the lettering for Baker and Mouse ) that you are using in this video, Thanks.
Thanks for Watching! Oh boy.... I do not know the font,, just found it online and printed it out.. Sorry
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ Hello Tom, thanks for your reply, I have Steve Goods pattern maker with the ( Mouse/Baker) font built in and also the signmaker thing with loads of fonts but I dont think its on there. on pattern maker its just called Scrollsaw.
Amazing dewalt scrollsaw, hope it’s available in Philippines .
Thanks for watching!
Great video. But was hoping you would have said the speed and what blade you use for 2x4s
Thanks for Watching Eric!
Thank you for the great tips! What size blade did you use on the 2x4 lettering?
Thanks for watching! I believe it was an Olsen blade for scrolling
@@TomHorsmanAmateurBBQ I thought Ron was asking for the size of the blade, not the make.
Sorry for the delay In getting back to you Ron, it was an Olsen PGT #5rg 12 TPI 8 rev. Part # 49502
Thanks Cliff!
Just got my Dewalt saw, what speed do you recommend for different thicknesses and wood types
Thanks for Watching Wendy! That’s a question with no great answer, allot time the blade manufacturer will recommend the speed for the blade and thickness.

Tom nice !! which font are you using for 2X4's?
Thanks for Watching Al! Wow, I honestly don’t remember, sorry
I have been using the sewing machine lights for 3 years and I recommend them for anyone that uses a scrollsaw or bandsaw, they are wonderful I got them on Amazon 2 light 20 LED set for $14.96, have tried the 30 LED weren't as bright
Thanks for Watching Alan! Thanks for the information!
do you ever have a problem with the letters breaking off due to they are to thin ? i have a project i like to make invoveing letters and on the top of a s at the end seems to eraken and break off any advice ? Thankyou and God Bless.
Thanks for Watching Jeff! Haven’t had any issues
Would like to know what is the caracter of your letters and the size you use. The block you have underneath the letters, it’s you that add them?
Thanks for watching! It’s a mouse, not sure of the font or style it’s a template I’ve had for years. The letters are scrolled with the base
Thank you for your reply. Love your video and explanation.
What kind of blade are you using , I’ve tried scrolling a 2x4 and it doesn’t cut . I tried moving it around like you on the video but the darn blade isn’t cutting and it’s a new blade.
Thanks for Watching! Using Olson PGT No.5RG 12 TPI 8 Rev. it’s serial no. 49502

Thanks for Watching! Have you tried different blades? For thin wood I turn the speed way down
I don't see the link to the lights. Can you please direct me to it?
Thanks for watching! On Amazon. Type in sewing machine light

My wood is jumping pretty bad, I'm cutting 3/4 in pine
