Title: First impressions Deco-flex
Post by: Dawie on February 06, 2012, 06:00:02 am: :D UPS just delivered my new scroll saw this morning. So I have been fiddling around with it a bit. Sturdy. Runs with very little vibration even at top speed. The clamps are the only little gripe I have, but have already seen that I can replace them with the clamps from my Proxon, so that problem too is solved. And this one is still made in Germany, so I have faith in this machine, German tools have never let me down, so trust that this one will follow that reputation.
Am posting a pic.
Extremely blessed and happy with my new toy.

Post by: Dawie on February 06, 2012, 02:35:06 pm: Keefie, there is sawdust on it now. ;D. Must confess that the clamps are not as bad as I thought at first, the clamp spirals perfectly. It's just a bother to get the bottom clamp in position, very little manoeuvring space.

Have fun. What kind of blade clamps are mounted?

Post by: Dawie on February 07, 2012, 10:55:12 am: Torsten,
The mounted clamps are for pinned blades. The clamps for flat and spiral are actually well thought out , it does not have the actual slit but has a round opening to insert the blade into and it gets clamped by two little screws. Thinking of mounting these more permanent as I rarely use pinned blades. They work fantastic on spirals.

Post by: rob roy on February 07, 2012, 06:30:24 pm: Hi Dawie, hope you get years of pleasure from your new toy. Glad you got rid of the piece of "double glazing" around the blade. A couple of hours and you wouldn't be able to see for dust stuck to it with the static. Good luck.
