Smudger Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Hi guys I'm thinking about getting a new scrollsaw, at present I'm using a Axminster AWFS16 and the problem with this model is the way the blades are held in place, i'm after something that doesn't take forever to change blades, any advice or recommendations would be great fully received, thanks AlfrediaMum 1 Quote
LarryEA Posted February 14, 2015 Report Posted February 14, 2015 Read "Scroll Saw Review'. Nuthin else fer me to say since I ain't 'over there'. I'm over here but to you I'm over there and ... Lots of posts on 'what saw everyone uses' to 'discussions on the best'. You can search in General Scrollsaw on who likes what saw...if'n you want Quote
Lucky2 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Posted February 15, 2015 Smudger, what brands are offered for sale in the UK? I don't know if any NA brands are available to you, that's why I ask about UK brands available. Hopefully, you'll get some helpful replies, from some UK members who knows what is actually available to you. Len Quote

Lucky2 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Posted February 16, 2015 Smudger, if the EX21 is ''just slightly'' out of your price range, I think it'd worth the wait until you save up the extra that you'd need to purchase EX. It will probably be the last scroll saw, that you'll ever need to buy. Len Smudger 1 Quote
