Dave Monk Posted August 6, 2017 Report Posted August 6, 2017 Is anyone familiar with this saw? http://www.pswood.com/scroll-saws/ Quote
Rolf Posted August 6, 2017 Report Posted August 6, 2017 It is a solid simple machine and I have used it a couple of times at woodworking shows. I found the stroke to be too aggressive for my style of cutting. Dave Monk 1 Quote
hawkeye10 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Posted August 6, 2017 This is the first time I have seen this but with every thing you get ( stand ) I think it's a good price for the 21" saw. I would be okay with changing speeds with a belt as I very seldom change speeds. I also think I would like the way you change blades but I am not sure. Like Rolf I wouldn't like it cutting too aggressive. Quote
Scrappile Posted August 6, 2017 Report Posted August 6, 2017 I have never seen one, other than on the internet. Watching her work the blade change from one hole in fret work to another seemed a little cumbersome, lifting the bottom clamp up through a hole and feeding it back down through that hole and then placing it in it's holder, but if a person does it few times, it may become very easy. Just looked like a lot of steps... Maybe a person could leave the clamp in place and just bottom feed like they would on other saws. Changing belts looks easy, but I remember I had a Nova Lathe that you changed speeds by changing belt location on pulleys. Very doable, but then you get a machine where you just turn a knob to change speeds and hummm, much, much more convient. You son't even have to stop the machine to do it. I don't know how long PS machines have been around. On one hand, if they have been around a while, it is good, they may be around with parts in the future, on the other hand, I wonder, if they have been around for some time, why are they not more popular machines. Seems like very few people know about them... Anyway, these are just some thoughts I had based only on going to their site, reading and watching the video. I tried to go to the Article section here, could not open anything. I wanted to see if anyone had written a review on one. Something wrong with "Tutorial and Resources"....? Everyone I tried to open said "We could not locate the item you are trying to view. " And Travis is on vacation!!!! Quote
