paw Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) I found this goldmine while searching the web. I don't speak Russian but the hundreds of images speak for themselves. http://glavmex.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=711&start=10 Edited June 13, 2019 by paw OCtoolguy, Wilson142, jollyred and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks for posting. I love all the ideas and innovations of the early scroll saws. I used to stand and watch a guy in Old Colorado City who would set up his saw on the sidewalk and just cut away. All foot powered like riding a bike. The hobby has come a long way. I wonder what the next big change/idea will be in the design of the scroll saw. paw and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 You could put Pegas clamps on any one of those saw and work miracles with it!!! OCtoolguy, kmmcrafts and paw 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's more along the lines of a CNC or Laser that will eventually take over the scroll saw.. I think probably before the treadle saw was just a hand copping saw?

Got a chuckle out of your comment.. While there is iron in the picture.. it looks mostly made from wood.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 That blade looks rather thick but I would love to give the saw a try. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticks and rocks still fascinate me. kmmcrafts and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me power tools are extensions of your hands, but CNC tools are extensions of a computer. The mistakes you make are part of the art of creation.
