Record Power SS16V Scroll Saw 16-inch

Product Information

Basically, a scroll saw can be applied to all types of material and cut lots of different patterns and intricate curves. Because it has adjustable speeds and can work with different kinds of blades, it can also be used to cut through some of the toughest objects. Besides, since most of these saws come with a large table, they can be used for carving both smaller and larger objects alike.

Those who are looking for a quality scroll saw that is durable, functional but not overpriced may be interested in purchasing the Clarke CSS16VB. This model combines all the listed qualities while also being very easy to use. Even though this model is a bit simpler than its expensive counterparts, it is still pretty mighty. Its power varies between 400 - 1600 SPM, meaning that you will be able to comfortably work with wood, metal, plastic and other solid materials. The speed switch is situated on top of the unit. A great deal of scroll saws you’ll encounter today will utilise a parallel arm drive. In this instance, the scroll saw motor will be mounted at the rear of the device, with the arms of the scroll saw sitting parallel. This isn’t the only type of drive you can expect to find, however. The other common form you can encounter is a parallel link drive. With one of these, both arms have rods within them. This type of system is a good choice if you’re looking for something with lower overall operational noise and less vibration when working. Keep it Simple With a tremendous 5-year warranty in place, rest assured that the product you buy will serve you good. You can achieve accurate straight cuts with the guide rails as well as a parallel guide, making it possible for you to cut up to 18 mm. This cheapest table saw comes with the right accessories so that you can handle a wide range of materials including softwood, laminate, hardwood, soft sheet metal and PVC.

Tips for Safe Operation of Scroll Saws

One big feature that you can’t help but notice immediately, is that the table isn’t the usual tear drop shape. Instead Proxxon have decided to give their scroll saw a large rectangular table which personally I liked because of the extra working space it gave. What I think it’s weird (in a good way) and not very common is the shape of the table. It features a square shape which I find more useful compared to the conventional drop-shaped ones as it adds to the working space. You will like its steel and cast iron construction, which guarantees the perfect elimination of vibration. That is why you can use this powerful tool at home and for light industrial purposes. You can use it for saw blades with or without pins. There is a work light that accompanies this machine, making it easier for you to work in poorly-lit areas.

The table angle adjustment may be ratcheted or infinitely adjustable, and it doesn’t require removing or reinstalling the blade. However, this relatively advanced scroll saw cutting requires practice to achieve effective three-dimensional results. Dust Extraction and LED Lighting With its variable speed control, you can use it for various types of materials. There is an adjustable safety guard, which offers maximum protection during operations. You can keep your working area dust-free at all times, thanks to the flexible dust blower that accompanies this product. On the bad side, the tensioning is a bit weak so blades sometimes fall out meaning you have to deal with it carefully. High speeds are also not good with this tool because it then starts vibrating and this will lead to inaccuracy. Even dust extraction and blow-off functions are not that good either according to some previous users. Start Cutting Your Material: Your type of design will determine whether you are going to use a single pass or different blade angles. If you are cutting straight lines and corners alone, you can use a single pass, while cutting circular shapes and curves require more time and careful manoeuvres.The Dremel scroll saw has six speed settings to choose from, although only the fastest two are really any good for cutting and the rest would be best suited for fine edging. Now, before you go thinking that low cost equates to flimsy and not well put together, think again. Armed with a cast iron housing, this scroll saw is a robust little tool, if a little heavy at around 14 kilograms. Ensure the shape you’re cutting is marked on the material. Don’t try to make a more extended cut in a single fluid motion unless you can always keep your hands clear. Safety Features You can use both, pin-end and pin-less blades which can, yet again, be easily replaced without getting any tools involved. Being able to use both types of blades offers you a lot more flexibility.
