Scroll Saw 120W, Electric Fret Saw with 47° Tiltable Metal Work Table for Bevel Cuts, Tool-Free Blade Changes, Hobby Saw with Dust Extraction for Woodworking, Crafting and DIY TC-SS 406E

A good and practical machine.

Absolute beginner with a scroll saw so went for this , I find it very good & easy to use , bolted mine down to the bench so no vibration , only drawback I’d like to do more intricate work but would need the pinless blades , can you change the blade holder clamps to accommodate the pin less blades

This is actually a very good machine for the price if you have the means to get around some annoying design flaws. I bought this saw as a replacement for my previous (Rexon) saw when its bearing seized up. I needed something quickly and cheaply while I save up for my dream saw (which is considerably more expensive!). After hunting around, this machine seemed to meet my requirements. Pros Variable speed - this works very well, though there is a bit more vibration at higher speeds. Blade Tensioner at the front - this is brilliant! The best feature on the saw. Fit the blade in the clamps, then lower the tensioner. Instant correctly tensioned blade without any fussy tightening knobs to adjust. I have broken far fewer blades with this machine than with my previous one because it correctly tensions the blade every time. Quiet running - it is very quiet in general but especially at slower speeds. Low vibration - there is almost no vibration at low speeds. Accepts pinless blades - these are the only ones you should use for intricate fretwork. All controls at the front - no hunting around at the back of the tool! Soft start - the motor starts gently and gradually comes up to the set speed. But there are Cons: The blade clamps that were fitted to my machine were hopeless. They clamped the blade ok but they wouldn't release - they weren't springy enough so stayed clamped. Fortunately I was able to use the blade clamps from my old machine and they work fine. If you are thinking about this machine, look into replacing the blade clamps with something better. Air Blower - I would suggest using an aquarium pump hooked up to the air blower nozzle - this works far more efficiently and they are not expensive. Side plate - this covers the spinning motor shaft but needs to be removed in order to replace the blade in the bottom clamp. I've removed it for this reason because I work alone and am aware of what I've done. If there are other people around (especially children) where you are working it would be best to leave it fitted, but it will increase blade change time. Conclusion If you can cope with the above cons or adapt the machine as I did then it is a good value, easy-to-use tool. I have been using it recently with 00 pinless blades and it cuts very intricate pieces. If you are new to this hobby, the cons will probably frustrate you, so you should look at other alternatives.

Look, at this price range I was not expecting a top professional model but one made for amateur/home user. And was I impressed with the first use in terms of ease of use, sound level and vibration. I am a collector of airguns modelled on real firearms and, to display them, I use acrylic rods pushed through the trigger guards. Normally I cut them using a pad/hack saw and it’s a real pain as 1) it’s hard work and 2) it’s almost impossible to get a real straight cut. So….. I thought, although I had got this machine for my other hobby which is wood and leather crafting, I’d try this on the acrylic rods. Note, the word is rods not tubing - they’re solid hard acrylic. I first tried it on 1/2 inch (13mm) rods and it worked well so I next used it on 3/4 inch (20mm) and again it worked - perfectly. Please also note that 1) I used the machine as it came with the ‘free’ blade, all I did was tighten the tension; 2) I’ve never used a saw like this, ever (and I’m mid 70s). Something to remember when cutting acrylic especially something as thick as these rods - the blade needs to be running at high speed to generate the cut BUT that also generates heat which melds the two cut sections together. I found that by immediately removing the rod once cut, breaking the two sections apart (quite easy as the acrylic is still soft), then trim off the melted left-over. You then cannot see the burned area as you’ve already got rid of it. As said, I’m a rank beginner with scroll saws so I limited my expectations when buying this but, to be honest, I needn’t have done so as the machine worked perfectly. I am truly looking foreword now to trying it out on wood and, with an extra fine blade, leather. I wholeheartedly RECOMMEND this scroll saw, even for rank amateurs like me - for someone with expertise, you can expect even more - thinking of buying? GO FOR IT!!!

Setting this up was very easy. You only really need to secure the head, attach the small air pipe and align the blade. It came with two, one already fitted and another spare in a plastic bag. The clear visor to "shield" you from the cutting area is utterly useless and I removed mine within seconds of making my very first cut. I've never owned a scroll saw before and found it very easy to use. It takes 127mm blades fitted with a holding pin on each end meaning cutting holes to pass one end of the blade through needs to be 4 or 5mm thus limiting the size of the small cuts to not so small. I've been told by a friend you can use pinless blades but yet to try it. The manual I found to be pretty useless and doesn't really give you any information that's of any use except for the specs - it's there that I found it takes 127mm blades so I ordered a pack for me to practice with. It's not too loud to operate although I do strongly recommend securing it to a worktop. There's a hole in each corner you can secure it to a bench with and in the small plastic bag are four rubber feet that can also be placed into the holes for support should you want to keep it mobile. Overall a great little saw and I'm really looking forward to using it some more. I bought it primarily for letters for signs but I'm definitely going to be using it for a lot more.

Great product

Suveränt bra att arbeta med 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍 Enkel att använda för att göra fina figurer 😃😃😃💖💖💖 Rekommenderar verkligen denna produkt till andra konsumenter 👍👍👍💖💖💖

Fast delivery and works just fine

Robusta, precisa, di qualità ed economica. Ne consiglio il suo acquisto soprattutto per chi è alle prime armi.

Bir süredir kullanıyorum ve oldukça memnunum. Makineyi çok ısıtmadan arada dinlendirmek lazim. Zaten endüstriyel üretim için tasarlanan bir makine değil. 10 dakikadan daha uzun süre çalıştırılmamasi gerektiği kitapçıkta yazıyor. Arada dinlenme esleri verilmeli. Yumuşak ağaçlarda oldukça rahat. 4 cm kalınlığı kesiyorum. 2 cm gibi kalınlıklarda akıyor gidiyor. Sert ağaçlarda olabildiğince 2 cm i geçmemek gerek ve sabırlı olmak gerek keserken. Daha kalın olursa zorlanacaktir. Özellikle bıçağa doğru farklı yönlerden çok baskı uygulanmamali ve keserken sabırlı olunmalı. Bu şekilde bıçak da koparmazsiniz. Kontrplak, MDF falan cihaz için çerez. Bu şekilde kullanacaksanız işinizi kesinlikle görecek. Tereddüt etmeden alabilirsiniz. Ses için yorum yapacak olursam ben evde ve gündüzleri kullanıyorum. Akşamları kullanmıyorum. Bir şikayet veya rahatsızlık duymadım komşulardan. Cihazın farklı kalınlıklarda yedek bıçaklarını da edindim. Kolay bağlantı aparatı, pimsiz uçlar falan gerek de kalmadı.

Excellent, pour ma part j'ai fait un peut le bourrin en allant couper de l'aluminium d'épaisseur 8mm. Les lammes on tenue le coup👍. Elle est relativement silencieuse, plusieurs mode de vitesse, impeccable pour tout type de matières ( bois, plastique..) lors des travaux de chantournage de pièces.
