    Craftsman 18 inch scroll saw June 04, 2010

    May 2010, well i just got this saw about a week ago and im very happy with it,i have cut pretty much every thing and blade changes are a snap.I had a little problem with vibration so i looked at how the base was made, simple i made a stand and mounted it to it and this was the ticket i can now run any speed with little to no vibration, however i have been unable to find a craftmans stand or rail jig for it and the holes are in the base for a jig.If you have any vibration try bolting the saw down with the 3 holes it has, i also used 3 rubber boots bellow the saw to keep it level on the stand.

    Save up for better October 11, 2010

    I am kind of surprised at all the good reviews this scroll saw has received. This saw in a nut shell is garbage. If you have never owned a scroll saw before then it might be fine to start on if you don't have the money to buy something better but if you can wait, I would save up the money and buy something else. This scroll saw is poorly built and will vibrate your work bench to pieces at any setting above 1000. Do yourself the favor and spend a little more for a better machine and you will not be dissapointed.

    It was not what I expected, It does a good job. May 18, 2011
    By chuckac01 of Shawnee, OK

    I have always bought sears tools, I purchaced the same scrool saw a few years back and it was built better, I thought it would have a steel cutting table, Changing the blade was much eaiser. Now about the saw I bought a week or so ago, As always sears put's good quality in thier products, The scrool saw performs very good.

    I purchaced this saw to cut out christmas ornaments and other projects,as of this writting I am useing 1/8" lamented wood which is about as hard as bass wood and I have had no problems, It works very well and I would recommend it for any scrool work, I cut a piece of 1" treeted wood I had no problem with that. If you want a good tool I would suggest always buy Craftsman.
