Need some information on a scroll saw.

[Matthew Gilliam]

I just bought a scroll saw second hand and I was wondering if anyone had ever used one. It is a Ryobi SC 155. Any information would be useful.

Thanks Larry. I do need it.

I think this saw only takes pinned blades (see below) and not many will have used one for scrolling.

Scrolling pretty much requires non-pinned blades. 

If you bought it in hopes to scroll with it, maybe there is a converter made for it to use non-pinned.

good machine to practice  on, So when you upgrade to a better one you'll really appreciate it more.

I had a Ryobi but not sure what the number was. It took pinned and pin less blades. The pin less blades were hard to line up on the screw. It would vibrate anywhere over around 1/3 on the speed dial. The faster I ran the more it would vibrate. I used it for a year and then got a Dewalt.
