I'm the kind of guy that if something takes 3 seconds and I can do it in 2 seconds I consider that a win. Three different readers sent me a tip about the blade removal tool I posted yesterday. They suggested marking both ends of the slot so the tool can be easily aligned with the thumb screw.
I just went out in the shop and gave it a try. It works great. By my calculations. If I save 1 second per usage and if I live another 20 years(fingers crossed) and I use this tool on average 10 times a day. I just saved 20.3 hours. If my time is worth $30 per hour I can buy a new DeWalt DW788 scroll saw in 20 years. I'm estimating the the expense of the ink used is .001 cents. That is a 61million percent increase on my investment. If I could get my retirement fund to do that I would be really happy.
Thanks for the tip guys.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
