Latest Reviews	Fanatastic Scroll Saw Rating: 5 Fantastic value for this great scroll saw - easy to use, quieter than expected it to be - Loving it!!! My first scroll saw so was not expecting this great value. Picture is of my very first attempt. by smartshopper10007 on 2018-08-01T17:00:00 Two Thumbs Up! Rating: 5 This is an excellent scroll saw for the money. Love the variable spped control and articulating sawdust blower and LED lighting. Solid Cast Iron construction (heavy) Highly recommended.. by John on 2020-06-02T17:00:00 Rating: 5 Ease of operation, well made and great price! by OhioDweller on 2018-04-01T17:00:00 Complete Junk Rating: 1 Complete junk. Arrived today via FedEx. Opened the box to find that the manual inside was for a band saw. Took the styrofoam out to find a loose nut in the bag with the saw. Took to the shop to mount to my workbench. Tried to install a better blade than what comes with it and the blade holder snapped in half. I packed it up and returned it to the store. Had this piece of crap in my possession for less than 2 hours. Very disappointed with the quality of this saw, I guess you really do get what you pay for. I have owned a Dremel scroll saw for over 20 years, the brushes went out on it and this was to replace it. I'll have to keep shopping. If you're looking for a quality affordable scroll saw this isn't it, avoid this saw. by BigDaddyO on 2018-05-25T17:00:00 Rating: 1 The machine is a piece of crap and it is not worth to buy it. I replaced 4 blades! The lower blade holder broke! I am not very happy with it. NOT worth to buy! by Debra on 2018-08-23T17:00:00 Rating: 5 by sinloi on 2020-09-21T17:00:00 Rating: 4 by Paynediaz on 2018-04-13T17:00:00 Rating: 3 by Mansour on 2020-08-31T17:00:00 Rating: 1 by Mike on 2019-08-16T17:00:00	Value Rating: 5 Value. Its exactly the inexpensive, but quality tool that you need to start with. by Roman on 2020-07-28T17:00:00 100% Satisfaction Rating: 5 Nothing bad to report by Clifford on 2020-07-19T17:00:00 Very pleased Rating: 5 Lightweight, easy set up - ready to use out of the box. Quality materials. by Jay on 2020-10-09T17:00:00 Great scroll saw Rating: 5 Good saw for any one even for first time scroll saw users i have been scroll sawing for ten years and love the wen scroll saw easy to use and was a very good deal for a low cost saw .I would recommend it to any one easy blade change very quiet and fun to use . by yumascroller on 2020-06-14T17:00:00 Rating: 4 I like everything about it and no dislikes so far. by Carl on 2020-08-21T17:00:00 Good deal for the money. Rating: 4 Got this saw as a first time scroller and was really pleased with the results. Did a lot of cutting on 3/4" oak and it did just fine. It's a little "jumpy" if you don't have it well anchored, but does fine if you do. Love the 2-direction blade feature. It really saved the day on my project as I was able to cut 22" pieces in continuous cut. I would caution not to over-tension the arm. I broke an ear off the lower blade holder, but WEN replaced it under warranty quickly and with no hassle. It's not the most convenient for using plain end blades, but for the money it's worth a little hassle. Pin end blades are a breeze. by Rforer on 2017-03-05T16:00:00 Cuts good for the price. Rating: 4 The 2 direction blade without having to change anything other than the direction of the blade makes this saw nice for the price. It is like all WEN products i have tried though - under powered, but knowing that going into the purchase you should not be surprised by it or give a bad rating cause it is common knowledge about these products, if you take your time it cuts great with no problems at all. by Sebrun on 2017-03-17T17:00:00 Jim Rating: 4 I think this product is worth the money i would recommend it to a friend by bassinman on 2020-10-20T17:00:00 Rating: 4 good saw for small work ,seems to have no problems so far by MargeD on 2020-04-08T17:00:00 Rating: 1 Arrived quickly and intact. Works as described. by Maeve on 2020-10-15T17:00:00
