SealeySm1302 Variable Speed Scroll Saw 406Mm Throat 230V

I bought this item some time ago. Having never had a scroll saw before, this one was not very expensive. I have used it many times now and it still works like a charm. It takes pinless blades or ones with pins which makes it really easy to find blades for.All in all, I am one happy customer and I don't think I need another scroll saw even though I have more experience now.

Very nice product. The top arm started to rub against the shroud after a couple of hours use causing some vibration and noise but I was able to bend the shroud away enough for some clearance and haven't had the problem since.The articulated blowing pipe is useless as it's 2-3 joints too short and the blowing power is quite weak anyway. The unit did come with a brass tube as an alternative blower to fit into the foot adjuster bar but no rubber tube to use with it. I contacted Sealey to see if they could send me the tube and plastic nozzle from a similar model (SM43) and they sent me them free of charge! I had to play about to get it to fit on as its not the same shape as the one that is attached to the unit by default but it was well worth it.Unit takes pinned and unpinned blades. Changing a pinned blade takes a few seconds due to the clamping system. Un-clamping an unpinned blade, changing holes on the work-piece and re-clamping it takes approx 20secs which suits me.Its not the most powerful machine ever (slowing down on medium pressure cutting 1inch pine) but very capable for my light diy/craft needs.

great for the price. solid, and cuts nicely.the instructions for changing the blade seemed excessively complicated (and the literature it came with was poorly written overall), but I managed it no problem.

very good thank you

I cant comment on how the saw works or how long it will last because unfortunately both the first to be delivered and the replacement came damaged.On the first initial delivery of the saw the screw which held the 2 pieces of the arm together felt slightly rounded and as you can see in the photo a strange crack that seemed like it could be a manufacturer's error maybe something which got past quality control.so i ordered a collection and a replacement....unfortunately, the second one came missing a bolt which kept the table in place, and a crack on dust blowers attachment on the arm so I ended up returning the second one.Personally I would avoid this product due to the fact they don't seem to do any form of quality control on this saw, its highly unlikely ive been unlucky enough to get a faulty product twice.

A great saw.

Variable Speed Scroll Saw SM1302This is an OK product which works well for general purposes, but is not good for detailed work because it will not accept plain end blades. It also will not accept a conversion kit to allow use of plain end blades, which is frustrating. I should have ensured that this could be done before buying which I did in a hurry.If anyone knows of a conversion kit for it, please let me know.I add a note --I believe this saw can use plain end blades--as advised by another reviewer, Sean.If this is the case then I would upgrade my review to 5 star.(I will try it with plain end blades myself)

the item delivered quickly, but i was surprised that the motor is very weak, it can't be 120W in any way, when i turn the rotation speed below the half the saw stops completely !!, although the minimum speed should be 400, any way i don't need a high speed for cutting, so it is fair, and good value for money.
