Scroll Saw Adjustable Tilt Table

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I converted an old computer desk to a scroll saw table for a scroll saw that was given to me, my first scroll saw, an older model Delta. Last Friday I picked up a used DeWalt 788 Type 1 for a good price, spent the weekend breaking it down, checked the sleeves & bearings, etc. The DeWalt is to long to fit on the table and sits taller than the old Delta. My thought was to bolt the DeWalt to a piece of 3/4" ply and use wedges to angle the saw while I sit. Well then I thought, Can I build an adjustable top with the 3/4" ply?. I found some multi position locking hinges (drafting table hinges) that should work, this should allow me to adjust the tilt to almost any angle I would need.

Question: Has anyone else tried this? If so any success?........no need to reinvent the wheel.

  Be Safe!

I don,t think that is the right tablle for any scroll saw.The biggest thing about scroll sawing is to be able to enjoy what you are cutting .At several hundred SPM the vibration from any saw will numb your brain after awhile I would invest in a power to stand bolt the saw and weight it down with about 50# of sand and enjoy the Hobby

Vibration with the older Delta was not bad on this table.......the DeWalt has almost no vibration on the saw or table.

I built a stand for my Dewalt and incorporated a top with hinges in the front. I just use a sliding block under it to put the top at whatever angle I like. Once I determine the angle I like, I will problem just put a spacer block in and screw it down.
