A large cast iron work table with up to 45-degree tilt also allows you to really expand your bag of tricks with fancy moves like bevel cutting.
This 16" Variable Speed Saw was made with the understanding that after all that hard work, no one has the energy to clean up a big mess. Fortunately, the multi-directional dust blower on this Craftsman scroll saw does the dirty work for you, keeping the cutting line free of dust and debris so you can focus all your energy on precision. Make the rest of cleanup a breeze by utilizing the shop vac-compatible dust extraction port and stashing your extra blades in the convenient on-board storage.

Perfect for my use
I did quite a bit of research before buying this saw. In general, there are two categories of scroll saws. One group consists of saws in the $100.00 to $150.00 range, which many reviewers label as "bad" saws, and the second group consists of saws from $400.00 on up, which most reviewers label as "good" saws. Since I don't earn a living by using a scroll saw I quickly eliminated all of the good saws, leaving me to pick from the bad saws. From reading many reviews, I decided that this was the best of the bad saws. I own and use a variety of power tools, including a band saw, and the woodworking projects I do are mainly crafts projects using wood from 1/4" to 1" thick. I recently started building wooden toys, and there are occasions where I could have used a scroll saw. For example, I tried cutting out a square window for the side of a truck by using a coping saw but the result was less than desirable. With this scroll saw I can easily accomplish that task. So far, this saw has served my needs perfectly. I haven't mounted the saw to the workbench or to a piece of wood; I simply placed it on a rubber mat on the workbench. Yes, it does vibrate somewhat, but not enough to make me mount it. So for my purpose, it's a great saw and I would highly recommend it. However, if you make your living by using a scroll saw then nothing will suffice but a high priced "good" saw.

Doesn't work well with plain end blades
I struggled for 2 hours to get this to hold plain end blades. It simply won't hold the really small ones. The design for holding plain end blades is very bad. As you screw in the hold down screw, it torques the holder so far to the right, the blade comes right out. If I had a third hand, maybe it would work.
It handled pin-end blades just fine.
However, I took the saw back to Sears, and it won't handle 1/2 of the blades it says it handles.

Frustrating saw
This saw is very hard to put new blades in, you can not use plain blades they break, bend, and they will not stay in. The pinned blades are also hard to put in. You need 4 hands and a flashlight ( oops you need 5 hands) just to put a blade in. Very frustrating to use. I will flea market it and get something else

get something else!
I have tried for three days to change a blade, pined or normal. If they think this is easy, I wonder what hard is.?

Good Value
This is a great introductory scroll saw. It isn't as good as the higher end products, but you aren't paying those prices either. It's stable and cuts well, changing the blade is not difficult but a bit of a tight squeeze on the bottom. The following YouTube video was a great help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRfp9jKDcZQ&list=UUGCtXH9jEJg-eC8R0gteDsQ&index=128

Solid saw
I have to say I really like this saw. While I am sure it does not compare to the dwalt $400+ unit, this is a good value for the money. I had a ryobi scroll saw from Homedepot that I returned after only one use to upgrade to this saw. I can tell you hands down the craftsman saw is a far superior unit. The craftsman is quieter, has less vibration and was a heavier unit. The craftsman is also more accurate than the ryobi. If your looking for good middle of the road saw I can recommend the craftsman 21602.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Great Saw
After reading reviews on several different scroll saws and working within my budget, I chose this saw because it is a Craftsman product. Several of the reviews I read on this saw led me to believe that the instructions were not read before actually using this saw. The project I bought this saw for is time consuming that of which I knew before even beginning the project. I knew I needed something that was going to help me do the job and do the job well. This saw has proven to be the right tool. The aluminum I am cutting is 3/32" or ..0938 and this saw works absolutely great. I have used both the pinned blades and the regular blades and both work fine cutting this aluminum as well as wood. I guess the bottom line is that you have to read the instructions and have to have some mechanical knowledge to use this tool as well as any tool and you have to have some patience also. A light would be nice but if you have a shop, you should have efficient lighting anyway.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

Surprised
I needed to quickly replace a 1940s scroll saw so I could complete a project on which I was working. Searched the Internet and asked friends for recommendations. This saw was on sale and well within my price range. I did not expect much at this price, but was pleasantly surprised. This is a sturdy machine. Out of the box all I had to do was connect the blower hose. I checked the set up and it was fine, so I went right to work. I was doing many inside cuts which required me to keep loosening the blade. It was easy. I was surprised at how quiet the saw is and vibration free.
I would recommend this product to a friend.

curvy saw
I purchased this to upgrade an older model but sorry to say the older one is much better. Scroll saws work from vibration but this one vibrates excessively to the point that keeping it on a given line is very difficult. If accuracy is not important then this will probably work fine for you.
