Variable Speed Scroll Saw, 16-Inch with Work Light (3921)

I gifted a friend. Quality desk top scroll saw.

No it's not perfect and I've only used it for about 10 hours so long term durability may be an issue but for the price, sub 200 at the time, I'm willing to take the chance. Would of liked a Dewalt or Excalibur but who can justify that kind of money, plus other budget machines reviews are horrible. Does it vibrate a little so the light is jumping around, yes, simply attached a bungee and it's perfect. Is the speed control and on off switch to close together so you keep changing the speed when you turn it on and off, yes, I now pay attention. Are pinned tool-less blade changes a little awkward, yes, after about 100 changes I can do it with my eyes closed. It arrived on time, worked flawlessly out of the box and I've run it for hours without a hitch, Light and air do their job, cutting is smooth and controllable, hold down guide does it job and beg angle adjust works as advertised. Once I gained a little experience/confidence the turns and cut quality is good enough and will only get better once I get some after market blades. For the price i'm extremely happy, I'm willing to put up with a few minor issues because i'm not spending 800 - 1200 dollars.

Wish I could give my saw six stars rather than five. I love it! I've had a scroll saw in the past, but this one beats it hands-down. The very long arm allows me to work on rather large pieces. The air jet blows the sawdust out of the way so I can see my line. The light can be moved to whatever angle you need to see correctly. The guide adjusts high enough so that (with patience) you can cut pieces larger than a scroll saw should be able to. Haven't really had to use the adjustable angle for the table, but playing around I can see it is quite easy to set up.

I ordered this saw expecting a marginal performance due to the low cost. But this is an excellent scroll saw. I watched some online comments that were critical of the vibration. The vibration is not bad at all. Some reviews were critical of the blade chuck holding plain-end, pinless blades securely. I think that must have been an older model, because the chuck works perfectly - 100% secure. I read that some reviewers were critical of how difficult it is to change blades. I have no clue why anyone would find it difficult to change blades on this model saw. I wish my other woodworking saws were as easy to change blades. I do use premium blades in this saw and I think that's key to having a great experience. And I match the blade to the material I'm sawing. My woodworking shop has many saws, most are premium brands. I was a bit worried about the Wen brand being a "value saw" but hey, this is a good saw. It is a joy to use. It has not frustrated me once, and I've hammered it pretty hard. I'd buy this saw again in a heartbeat.
