[Woodcarver] . Re: DeWalt Scroll Saws

[Ramsey]

I bought a DeWalt band saw for a commission I had to carve a piano 
for the Baldwin Piano Co.  It worked great, but the cumbersome 
process of disconnecting the blade for each cutout was too time 
consuming.  I switched to a 1/8" straight carbide bit in my router. 
The cutting was probably 5 to 10 times faster and the finish much 
smoother.  Here's a link to a photo of the carving I cut with my 
router:  http://www.carvedbyramsey.com/MusicDesk_.jpg

I sold my scroll saw and now use either the band saw or router.  By 
the way, the Dewalt will not take standard sanding strips.  I ordered 
a number of custom made sanding strips to fit the DeWalt.  If anyone 
is interested in them, contact me off list.

Be sure to look at the incredible nature inspired art jewelry hand 
fabricated by my wife, Karen Olsen Ramsey.  It's worth the time to 
take a look!
