Matthew Gilliam Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) 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.

Owner's manual thst Larry posted shows it taking pinned and plain blades! LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkey Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 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. Matthew Gilliam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
