Scrappile Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Very glad you have you join us. I want to say, and please do not take offense in this, I'm just trying to help, but, the saw you have is not a true scroll saw. Look like a handy tool, but at best it will work for silhouettes and such. No real fret work.. That is not to say you can't learn using it, but if, you really want to do scroll work you might latter on want to look for a scroll saw, plenty of good used one for sale.

heppnerguy Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Glad that you have decided to give scrolling a shot. it is very addicting and also very rewarding. I am not familiar with the saw you purchased but I do know one of the most important things that will help you the most is selecting the correct saw blades for the job you are going to cut. You will not find the blades for this kind of work at the big box stores, they simply do not carry them. If you are unsure about where to buy the correct ones or which blades to use for which wood, Just ask and you will get the answers you need. I would pay attention to Scrappile as he is a very knowledgeable and an accomplished scroller. If you have yet to use your saw, you might find out what saw is in your budget and consider returning yours and picking up one that will serve you better. Welcome to the Village and do not be discouraged by what seems to be negative thoughts here as all the people in the Village are really nice and helpful people that only wants your experience to be the best it can be.

heppnerguy Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I just Googled the saw you purchased. I see they sell for around $70. I do have to agree with Scrappile and if there is a chance you can return this saw, I can guarantee you that you will be happy you did. If this is in the budget you have to work with, I might suggest you look into the Ryobi veriable speed saw. It sells for about $90 but you will be way happier with that saw as things will be way more manageable and rewarding with this saw. Granted, it is far from the best saw on the market but for the money you can cut about anything you wish to with it and after a year or two you may wish to go for a higher quality saw. At ;east with the Ryobi you will not be losing much if you decide that scrolling is not for you, (and I can not imagine that could ever be the case). So Good luck and Welcome to you from Arizona Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick heppnerguy Thank you so much for taking the time to share your advice. I am certainly addicted to it and really want to learn to do different things. I will certainly be asking more questions as I learn. I am trading in my Dremel Moto-saw for a used Ryobi 163vs. Hoping I will have more choice in blades that way. It has been inspiring to watch the work everyone has done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile, I wish I had found this forum before I bought that saw. I am buying a used Ryobi 163VS (since its the only one available for the price I can afford at the moment). Moto-saw indeed was a huge mistake. It is very limited in terms of blades and no options to convert either. I hope to learn from everyone here. Very excited to embark this journey and learning is so stimulating that I just cant seem to stop wanting to do it. I certainly appreciate direct feedback. Will soon post some basic panel I was able to do using Dremel Motosaw. I am very excited to learn on the Ryobi 163vs that I am hoping to get later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
