16 in. Variable Speed Scroll Saw with Easy-Access Blade Changes and Work Light

Got it for father, he loves making things but his hands have become shaky over the years. It makes precise cuts and is very user friendly!

I used it to cut out toys on 3/4in maple, 1/2in maple and 3/8in white oak. Cut great with both pinned and un-pinned blades. I bolted it to a 3/4in plywood board so I could store it then move it and clamp it to my workbench.

So far, it has not disappointed. Seems to be well built and solid. I built a table to permanently keep it mounted and so far has done a good job. Time will tell.

Works good. No issues with that. Only complaints are, the light vibrates too much to be of use. And setting up the pinless blades is a bit of a pain. Other than that, I like it.

The machine does a decent job . The bolt connects the motor to the arm broke after vibrating loose. I went into multiple HD stores and they were no help. Went to competitor and bought locking nut and new bolt. So far works okay

I’ve used it on multiple projects so far

With a little practice its fairly easy. But I'm still getting a feel for it.

I have had this Saw for about a week now. Gave it a real test cutting 3/4 inch pine into yard ornaments. It handled the curves very well. Would recommend it to everyone looking for a nice saw to do scrolling.

Saw works great! Really like the variable speed control as it allows to cut soft, thin balsa without tearing it up. 1/4 inch plywood is a breeze with the higher speed. The dust blower is adequate and the work hold down is adjustable to obtain the correct pressure on the work piece. Have noticed that the center piece is a bit lower than the table as noted in other reviews. This can be fixed by laying a piece of material (thin cardboard or other product) under the piece. The vacuum attachment is nice!

I am now on my 3rd Wen scroll saw... my 1st one was destroyed in wildfire, so when it was time for me to replace my tools & saws, I compared all my options & primarily due to the price point, I went with a very similar Wen model to the one I already had experience with. My 2nd one, the rear tension knob came completely out during normal use, after only having it a short time & was not repairable, so that one got returned to the store. I am now on #3 and so far, it is functioning well, I can only hope this one holds up better than the previous one. The good - I have tried other scroll saws, some higher end (belonging to a friend) & others of similar price range from a different mfr, that I was less pleased with. For the price range, this has been one of the better scroll saws as long as it continues to work properly. This is a case where you get what you pay for, if I could afford a higher end scroll saw, I would probably move on to a higher end, but for now, this has been the best bang for my buck & a relatively good beginner scroll saw. As with most scroll saws, there is still a lot of vibration & you will definitely want the saw mounted in some way... that can present a challenge depending on your working surface. I had my previous Wen saw mounted directly to a wood table that allowed for the application of screws. My current work table is metal & drilling holes for mounting is a challenge. I attempted using a rubber mat to keep it from sliding, however, that did not work. I came up with a solution of using heavy duty velcro type mounting tape & it is working great, no movement now. I like the light feature that doesn't come with many other scroll saw's, I just wish it was a bit brighter & I have still found need to add additional light if I do not have full daylight to work in. Blade changes take some practice & experience, but gets easier over time once you figure it out. If you're new to a scroll saw, anticipate some frustration until you get the hang of it. The bad - other than my 2nd Wen saw coming apart on me after only using a few times, the "air pump" that is supposed to blow away dust as you saw, is a joke! It really doesn't blow anything & was more in the way than anything, so I eventually just removed the rubber attachment that kept getting caught up in my wood pieces, as I continually have to just keep blowing wood dust away myself to see what I'm cutting. The dust port that is intended to connect to a shop vac is directly in front of you & although I have a shop vac, I don't bother to connect it because it would be more in my way & cumbersome. You will get covered in sawdust but that is the nature of woodworking.
