WEN Variable Speed Scroll Saw, 16-Inch with Work Light and Easy Access Blade Changes (3923)

I bought this to use for small jobs in my shop. I am not a full time worker anymore just an old man that loves to do things that make people happy. After Hurricane Ian decimated my tools in the garage, over five feet of water does do damage, I nearly said I've had enough. But I couldn't resist the temptation to get back to the many projects I had planned to do. I bought this for a specific job, didn't need a premium tool just something that I would use now and then. It serves its purpose has everything needed for a scroll saw. It is also priced right for my needs. I've used a couple of times and it is fine for my projects. I screwed it down to my bench because it does have a certain amount of vibration. Cuts fine and blade changing is easy. I recommend this tool for those that don't want to throw another couple of hundreds and buy a big name brand.

Works pretty good. Took trial and error to finally be able to change the blade but once I got it figured out it's a simple thing to do.

I love this saw. It's a very good beginner's saw and so long as you are using pinned blades, the saw is excellent. However, should you switch over to pinless blades, well that's a whole other story. The attachments to hold pinless blades is the most frustrating, awkward, and clunky adjustment to any tool I have owned and I have hundreds of them. I bought this saw because I am new to scrollwork. Yesterday I was ready to throw it out or give it away because the adjustment attachments are so frustrating! I cannot find the blades that I want to use as pinned blades, otherwise, everything would be fine. I may be upgrading sooner than I thought. But hey, maybe you won't have as much trouble as I have had. Go on Youtube before you buy one and check it out. If you do buy this saw, an absolute must-have is a 2" square. You will need it to check if your blade is on square if you use pinless blades.

Just getting into scroll sawing. I like the machine for detail work better than my bandsaw, still a learning curve. I suspect I will upgrade but for $100 its a great first machine. Pain for pinless blades but I knew that going in, shop vac picks up 90%, everything seems pretty solid, pinned blades are easy to change, tension adjustment is simple, its pretty well designed and speed control is nice. It does get jumpy cutting 1/2in maple but I may not be using the right tooth count. Feels like I am sewing! Solid buy for this price and I have a few other WEN tools. Update after a month. Pinless blades are way smoother, use the included adapter, watch SD Good on you tube for tip on installing. Pinless cuts so much smoother, I used #9 pinless blades Olsen brand, skip tooth for 1/2in Walnut.

It turned out to be useless for my needs but it is something I will be able to use in the future. Well made.

I bought this as a gift for my brother, he loves it! He does small project woodworking and uses it a lot. It meets his woodworking needs!

Seems to work well

Documentation doesn't describe what the extra accessories are for and at least two of the objects are vital for installing a new pinless blade. Documentation doesn't even address the fact that you need the attachments although it pretends to describe how to install a pinless blade. The machine could work beautifully but if the user can't figure it out, what's the point? I'm not a happy customer.
