Arm Lift Projects for DeWalt and Excalibur Scroll Saws

[Al Baggetta]

Getting up in years and finding the constant raising of the arms on my scroll saws a bit of a pain. So I decided to work on a foot control for my saws. I thought maybe other scroll saw users might find this project helpful. I know I have after using it the last couple of weeks. I first built my Excalibur lift a couple of weeks ago and posted a video on YouTube of the finished project and how it works. This will probably work for the Seyco and Pegas saws as well. Also included a plan for building. If you think you might like to try this you can check out the video on my YouTube Channe (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zySgvwMy3no&t=115s)l. It worked so well I decided to try making one for my DeWalt as well. It's been refined and a lot simpler and probably could also be used for the Excalibur with some modification. You can check out the DeWalt version also on my YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVwGSPrU_rw&t=4s). You can also get the plans for these projects on my Free Plan Page (http://baggetta.com/pebooks/puzzle_patterns.htm) for scrollers at my website, along with lots of other plans. Hope you find this helpful and enjoy your cutting.
