And fiien"there's a lew scroll"saws',' including the DeWalt, PS Wood Machine, Excalibur and the kit saw from The Tool Company. We just move each saw around as we want to use them.

Sitting right next to the Performax is the Hegner MK-4 tabic saw. We would be lost without this tool as well. We use it to cut almost all of our wood to size for scroll sawing. It cuts so smoothly and accurately that it makes it easy to cut parts precisely for our projects, so they will fit perfectly together each and every time (providing that we always measure things correctly before sawing). Among its many features is the small disc sander on die side, which we use to dress up or bevel the edges on small wood pieces; and a built-in router, which works great to shape the edges on bases. The saw is also connected to our vac system, and is mounted on top of a tool cabinet that rolls around easily whenever we need to move it out for sawing larger/longer boards.

It is also ideal for smoothing out the planer marks on boards and for removing old finishes or weathered and discolored surfaces. We also use it to sand off the fuzz oil the back side of projects already scroll sawn, and of course for finish sanding of the wood surfaces. It's stuck over in one corner of our shop, but luckily it's on wheels bccause we are forever moving it around the room to accommodate various lengths of boards. A hose out the lop of the machine runs to a vacuum system, which gathers almost all of the dust created by the sanding process.
