Introduction
The AC456SS scroll saw has a flexible rotary shaft fitted with a
small hand piece including a 3.2mm collet chuck. The shaft is
900mm long, and runs at approximately 1,500-4,800rpm. A 64
piece accessory pack has a selection of sanding and grinding
tools for shaping various materials.
The scroll saw has a powerful, variable speed motor and is
easily able to cope with the 50mm depth of cut.
The generous cast iron table tilts to 45° and has plenty of work
space for larger projects. The base is also cast iron, providing
stability and includes holes for bolting down to a workbench.
Able to take both pinned and pinless blades, there is a large
tensioning knob easily accessible at the rear of the top arm.
There is an adjustable blower to remove dust from the cutline.
