Six Inch Wooden Fish Tile Scroll Saw Patterns.


These tiles are 6" X 6". Use them in any creative way you like. Mount them on a larger board and display them as an art piece. Hang them individually as wall accents. Cut them from thick wood and just sit them on a shelf. They could be cut from Corian and made into a 12" X 12" back splash medallion.  

Quick Tool-less Blade Alignment Check:

It's important that your blade is squared up at a right angle to the table before you begin to make cuts. It's common to use a machinist square or other right angle gauge to check for square. If you do not have a square available there is a tool-less way to check and adjust the table back to square.

Use a board that is at least 3/4" thick. Cut into the edge of the board about 1/8".
  
 Back the blade out of the cut. Spin the board around to the back of the blade so you can see the cut in the board next to the blade.

If you see that the blade and the cut are not lined up then adjust the tilt by half the difference and do a second test. When the blade slips easily into the cut from the back then the blade is perfectly aligned to the table.

Delta Power Tools 40-694 20 In. Variable Speed Scroll Saw  


Currently $399.00 on Amazon

I believe that the Delta 40-694 is the best bang for the buck buy of a scroll saw today. Are there better scroll saws on the market? Yes. Are there better scroll saws priced at $399.00? I don't think so.

If you have the budget to get past the entry level scroll saw then the Delta 40-694 is a great choice for a mid range saw. This buy does not come with a stand which is unfortunate. That takes away form the value but not enough to make it a bad deal.
