JET 22B Scroll Saw Review

[Vector01]

Picked up the scroll saw and stand few weeks ago. Due to a shipping snafu, the saw came before the stand. Set up the saw on my heavy oak kitchen table, made the adjustments suggested in the manual and gave it a go. It ran quiet with no vibrations at about half speed. When I turned up past that, it started rocking and rolling. Had I tried the nickle test, it would have made change...LOL. I was a bit disappointed. Almost ready to send it back, the stand came in. Assembled the stand, mounted the saw on the stand and tried it again. Voila! it ran smooth and quiet through all speeds. I love the ease on changing blades and the tilting head as opposed of the table tilt. The big test was how it cut! Made a couple of segmented pieces as well as a puzzle, cut like a dream.  When I can split a pencil line with the blade I know I have a good saw. The saw came with three lower blade holders which made it great to switch blades when they became dull. The test will be how long it runs without any issues. I had my old Porter Cable for quiet a few years with no problems.

Glad to hear that you got it all set up with the stand and it runs great for you and that you are happy with it.  I'm not sure how the "Reviews" subform works.  Perhaps @Travis can clue us in. Good luck with the new saw and let us see some pics of what you are making with it.

New threads can't be created for saws.  I do that for organization purposes.  I did create an entry for the Jet JWSS-22B and copied your review over to that thread.

On a side note, I'll be revamping the scroll saw reviews soon.  It'll contain the same information, but users will be able to update information (similar to how Clubs and Pattern Shops is set up).  So keep an eye out for that in the future.
