General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: First scroll saw

« Last post by KCSteve on October 02, 2023, 09:25:41 am »

I have the 18" Jet and I love it.  It uses holders for the blades.  You put the bottom end of the blade in the holder and use a hole on the side of the saw as a wrench to get it tight.  Then you slip the holder into the lower arm and flip a lever to clamp the top end.  The adjustment at the back of the saw is NOT the tension, it's just to get the arm parallel.  You turn the lever to get the tension set.  Once you have it set you're done - flip the lever closed and it's tight.  DO use a bit of tape or something to mark the setting of the back knob though - it can wander when you don't have a blade in.

Add a foot pedal for good control whichever saw you get.  I have the one from Harbor Freight because there's one six blocks from my house.  Cost about $15.  If you've ever used a sewing machine it's very similar.

The Jet IS about twice as much as the standard Dewalt but I'm very happy with my choice.

I check this page https://www.stevedgood.com/sswslist.html daily for new ideas, but lately the page is blank with no projects listed. Anyone know what's up?

Thanks.

If you go back over to the main site and click on the 'Pattern Catalog' button at the top you can type 'clock' into the search bar and you'll find 192 patterns, some of which can be wall mounted.
