Description of the Produc.
Suitable for delicate projects such as model construction, toy making, and precise work, this is the perfect machine. Using normal scroll saw blades, it can cut soft wood (for example, bass wood) up to 1 3/16″ (30mm), hard wood up to roughly. 25/64″ (10mm), plastic (including circuit boards) up to approx. 5/32″ (4mm), and nonferrous metals up to 5/64″ (2mm). Featuring a ribbed die-cast aluminum saw frame with an 11 13/16″ (300mm) throat, the machine is extremely stable. The blade guide is supplied with a blower that is included into the design. The die-cast aluminum machined worktable measures 6 19/64″ x 6 19/64″ (160 x 160mm) and is fitted with an adjustable longitudinal stop as well as a graduated miter gauge (0 – 90°). In addition to the ABS plastic body, there is a very useful sliding door on the right side of the housing for removing saw dust. The saw is powered by a 110 – 120V motor (85W) that provides long-lasting, low-noise performance. It is also backed by a quiet and wear-resistant toothed belt drive that runs in a ball bearing assembly for smooth operation. The machine has a stroke rate that may be controlled electrically and ranges from around 150 to 2,500 strokes per minute.
The Manufacturer’s Statemen.
For delicate jobs, such as model making, toy production, and precise work, the Proxxon Scroll Saw DS 115/E bench top machine is an excellent choice. It cuts soft wood such as bass wood, up to 1-3/16 inch, hard wood up to 25/64 inch (plastic including circuit boards) up to 5/32 inch and non-ferrous metals up to 5/64 inch using standard Proxxon scroll saw blades. Featuring a ribbed die cast aluminum saw frame with a deep 11-13/16 inch throat, the machine is extremely stable. The patented head portion is changeable in three positions, allowing for extended blade life and more precise cuts for a variety of various tasks and applications. Colors may vary in shades of green. Great little scroll saw for around $150. I have a larger scroll saw (Dewalt 788, another excellent saw) but I wanted something to handle small parts and for my kids to use. For the price and application this machine is perfect. Don’t expect it to cut thick pieces like a larger scroll saw could. This is for modeling and small detail work. In this regard it is perfect for the price. The quality is good and it is accurate enough for my purposes. If you need to cut thick pieces and don’t want to spend $400-500 for a decent machine (like the Dewalt 788), there are other FULL SIZE but cheap machines out there.
Some reviewers mentioned that blade changes were difficult. I didn’t find this to be the case at all. In fact, it’s no more difficult than changing blades on my venerable Dewalt 788 full size scroll saw. I guess it depends on your level of experience with shop tools. This tool was no more difficult nor easier than what I’ve experienced.
