new2woodwrk Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Problem Solved: Wen Scroll saw Pinless Adapter and inside cuts. If you have or are thinking of purchasing a Wen scroll saw, one of the issues with it is cutting inside patterns. You have to remove one of the adapters to thread the blade through the drill hole. When you remove the top, the bottom falls down. If you remove the bottom, it's difficult to impossible to reset the set screw to secure the blade! It's really inconvenient and a PITA trying to get the adapters back on the holder. Today I've solved the problem, at least for myself. I placed a magnet on the bottom adapter to hold it in place: Now I can undo the top adapter, let it hang free while I insert the blade into the drilled hole and then re-tighten the set screw Now it's not nearly as difficult trying to thread the blade through a drill hole Edited January 30, 2018 by new2woodwrk Lucky2, jollyred, OCtoolguy and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Tat is thinking out of the box. Good fix! new2woodwrk, SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Good job! I bought the adapter thing from pozsgai design. It only takes about 10 mins to set up but it’s definitely not as cheap as the magnet! Great idea OCtoolguy and new2woodwrk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Poszgaidesign.com I believe. But the magnet seems seems pretty awesome. The only thing I would change is to get rid of the Allen screw and make some kind of handle so you could change blades tool free.
