The variable speed scroll saw accepts 127mm - 133mm pin end scroll
saw blades. The blade width, thickness and the number of teeth per
inch will be determined by the material and size of the radius being cut.
Very fine narrow blades should be used to scroll cut in thin material,
6mm thick or less. Wider blades cannot cut curves as tight or as small
as thinner blades. To cut thicker material, use wider blades with fewer
teeth.
Blade selection
• When cutting wood,
best results are
achieved with pieces
less than 25mm thick.
• When cutting wood
thicker than 25mm, the
user should guide the
workpiece very slowly
into the blade, taking
extra care not to bend
or twist the blade while
cutting.
Fitting & removing blades
1. Lift the blade tension lever to
“Release” the blade tension as
shown, and turn anti-clockwise
to further reduce the tension.
Mounting to a workbench
The Variable Speed Scroll
Saw features four holes in
the base for mounting to a
workbench or worktable.
This is recommended to gain
maximum stability and reduce
noise and vibration. It is best to
attach the variable speed scroll
saw to a stable, flat surface at
a convenient working height.
Each hole in the base should
be bolted securely using bolts,
lock washers and nuts (not
supplied).
If you are using the variable speed scroll saw in several different
places, it is recommended that you fasten it permanently to a
mounting board that can be clamped to a workbench or worktable. The
mounting board should be large enough to prevent the variable speed
scroll saw from tipping while in use. A minimum 19mm thickness is
recommended.
Note:
It may be necessary to countersink the bolt head on the bottom
side of mounting board.
Reduce noise and vibration
Place a foam pad or a piece of carpet between the variable speed
scroll saw and the workbench to further reduce noise and vibration.
The size should be approximately 610mm x 305mm x 13mm thick. If
padding is to be used do not overtighten the mounting bolts.
