    Hello there i bought this saw last year and not had the chance to use the saw until now, now after using the machine I notice that the fence it’s not a straight locking (if you putting the fence against the Channel in one side the. Fence will be flush with the Channel and in the other side it’s a bit out of the line )and also when cutting 90 degrees its not accurate to cut it exact 90 degrees ,it’s about 1degree out of the line (I have check it with caliber ) have you had the same problem? i hope I’m doing something wrong , if not I’m really Disappoint ————————— im editing now my post and after changing the blade all works perfect !!!!! its the best tool in my workshop!!! i dont want to delete the post because maybe all the info below it can help other people🙂

    Hello friends, i have finish the first plank of my H.M.S VICTORY and soon i will start the second plank ( walnut wood ) the thing is, i want to make it as the real ship i mean to make the plank from segments of 127 mm the real ship used 30 ft. of plank for the ship (9.144 miter) so if my model is 1/72 it will give us exact 12.7 cm i will be more than happy to receive some advices for this method i think the big problem will be to make the connecting edges between the segments to be in exact same wide for not having small spaces when installing the next line of the planks but maybe its not even a problem (i never did it before so i dont know ) also what method you used for holding the second plank in place any why ... any advices are welcome !!!!! here is some pictures of my first plank i was explaining my method in my building , if you interesting you can visit the link below : Best regards, Michael.

    Hello Mort , sorry for the delay (i just saw your question) i did trim the part 373 but not flush with 270 line ! if it will be flush the space between the side gallery supports (the last one and the one before the last one ) you can see the problem in pic A So the way to do it its to trim it diagonal i mean to leave the corner of the last side gallery flush with the corner of the 373 part, and to make the slot near the blue Arrow deeper to make the last side gallery support to be flush with back panel (pic B ) Best regards, Michael.

    Y.T that is true when you have access to that aria but in my case you cant reach the spot without risking the model ,but with this tool you can get a perfect sanding very quick and must important without taking any risk

    Hello friends long time ago i had the chance to buy few brand new tools of proxxon from some guy who bought them and never used them ... one of the tools called Delta its a bit big for our hobby.. but I knew a day would come and I would find use of this tool so today i had to sand some aria in the ship but it was very difficult to reach this spot.. so i made a very handy and precise tool for my Delta i used an aluminum strip for the tool firs i made an hole of 10 mm to feat the delta screw than i cute the shape that i want (by using a table saw , and sanding disc) and after all i twisted the aluminum to useful shape and after all i used an sticky sand paper and its working amazing !!!!!!!!!!! i hope you will find it useful Best regards, Michael.

    Y.T thank you for replying , the problem with the x acto knife is that you cant really cut a a clean line when the planks are glue to the ship .... i saw long time ago a micro saw (looks like a blade of x acto ) after searching in micro mark i have found it the question is if someone has use it before for that method ... ? also i saw in a very old build log some Chinese micro saw but i cant found it At the moment ..

    Hello there what is the best tool / method for cutting windows of gunports ?
  23. michael101
    After a lot of thinking … I think I have found the problem , if you will look carefully you will see the piece 373 came bigger , here is a 2 pictures for comparing (my build and the Calder craft build ) The caldercraft piece finished with the line of the first gun ports pattern blue arrow and mine finish about 2.5 mm Downstairs red arrow so the best solution it’s to cut the end off part 373 and bring it to the same line of the first gun ports pattern anyway it will not make any changes for the finishing panel ( even if I will need to take off from the panel. Because that panel will be painted black without any decoration here is a picture from caldercraft of a finishing model)

    Hello there working on the back gallery and got some issues .. i have fixed and glue the windows pattern of the gallery (part no.374)and also the stern fascia inner skin (part no.373) in the right position regarding the line of the top quarter gallery pattern (part no.215) and now i have a problem with part no.371 this pare is about 2 mm up from the last slot that old the part no 220.. here is a picture from joitica the part no.371 need to be flash with the corner as the red Arrow but in my case it finished in about 2 mm up (at the point of the yellow arrow ) the thing is , i saw the same problem in other build logs but they fix it without to talk about that i have some idea show to fix it but any idea will cause other problems ...
