Wood shop Assistance Requested on 7/2 or 7/3

Hello!

I am a new member and have taken Woodshop Basics and Deepdive into Bandsaw, but I haven’t worked in the shop alone. Is anyone planning to go in early Saturday (7/2) or Sunday (7/3) morning that wouldn’t mind helping me get started?

I have a two 8’ x 18” planks of plywood that I need to cut down to more manageable sizes (already measured and marked) then I am looking to become familiar with the scroll saw (I’ve used the band saw but never the scroll saw).

I appreciate anyone willing to help!

I should be able to be there this weekend, and be able to give you a hand. I don’t know if the scroll saw is currently working / has blades though

Thank you! I’ll more than likely need the Miter Saw to cut down my planks and if the scroll saw is down, I will just practice cuts on the bandsaws. Please let me know which day will work best for you.

I think the Scroll Saw is operational - though it has been several months since I tried it; so it could be down.

Since the blades easily break, we require you to provide your own. We have the Excalibur EX-21. The manual states it uses “unpinned 5” scroll saw blades". Blade selection and installation are covered starting on page 11 of the manual.

The manual can be found here: https://go.rockler.com/tech/Scroll-Saw-Set-Up-and-Operation.pdf
