SKIL 16-Inch Scroll Saw with Light, 3335-07

Great saw. Easy to change blades. I got lots of practice. I broke 20 blades before I learned how to be careful about side pressure and taking curves more slowly. The saw is quiet and smooth. just take your time in cutting around corners, or the blade will break.

I have always wanted one of these. I finally got one for Fathers Day. I have not had a lot of time to use it but have been able to use it on a couple of small projects and it works great. I love it so far. It don't take up a lot of room.

I've only used the scroll saw a couple of times since I purchased, love it so far!!

I purchased this tool a couple months ago. Since then I have completed a couple of projects and it has been terrific. The unit is easy to operate and makes woodworking fun. I used C clamps to secure the device front and rear on my bench and it bums along just fine. Finished up a family of owls with my grand daughter and am liking forward to making wooden muscle car replicas.

Saw is ok as expected, but the whole blade guard assembly seems cheesy and a bother. Too, the support rod is sloppy in the holder. I do think the blade holder knobs could be a little more comfortable to grip and the lower one, at least, extended a little. At the back of the upper arm is a socket with a threaded hole for a set screw. There is no mention of what this is for. Presumably, it is for some other light, but that's a best guess. It still amazes me that in the hundreds of years scroll saws (used to be called jig saws) have been around, a flush table insert is still unavailable. It annoys me to have to make a jig of some sort for a new tool that is supposed to work. Other that those minor things, the saw is fine and I'm as happy as I ever am.

I just cut small stuff with this and it works just fine. Only thing that bugs me is the light vibrates and doesn't stay still but I light my work area with other lighting anyway so it's not that big of a deal. All and all it's a fine saw for the money.

very good, love the way it cuts, On the other hand it does have some vibration and I wish skil would make a stand for this saw, it does take up a lot of space on the work bench

Lot of vibration, but that's partially the table I have it on, but I have continually tighten various things because of that... not a huge deal, really. My main complaint is that it's supposed to take pin end and regular blades, but it won't hold the regular ones. All in all, it's a good purchase for hobbyists like me.

Difficulty with blade installation and have not been able to keep non pin blades attached to holders. Manual not helpful and had to figure out how to tighten blades in top and bottom holders. Once I figured out how to install pinned blades and how to tension, cutting was good. The screw for the hold down safety guard would not stay tightened so I am cutting with out and not having a problem. Motor is powerful enough for cutting 3/4 material.

I bought this because I needed one fast. First off I think the light is to short. And the Blades are breaking at the top near the pin. I have been scrolling for years and never had this problem. How ever this is the first one that I had to play with the speed maybe its not set right. Also the no tools blade change is hard to get to on the bottom and I don't think the top is straight after tightening it. And the little red pop out by the blade is to low it keeps catching the wood because its not level maybe after some dust gets in there it will be better. But its not a bad saw I would recommend it.
