Workshop: 2 Quick Scrollsaw Upgrades

My Carbatec scrollsaw is sold under many many brands, and for the money, it's a pretty good unit but just needs a few minor changes to really make it nice to use.

Cool thanks, been thinking about this as a first scroll saw. I used to love using one as a kid and I'm planning to have some projects I could use one for soon.

This answers a lot of my questions about the carbatec, so thanks!

Very helpful..I have 50+ blades but I can't use them coz I can't tighten when it's on that "thing" n keep it straight n locked..it's stressful.. also the noise n jumping of my projects because of thar black stopper or whatever the name is...I don't regret watching at all..thanks bro👏...give us more

Well they didn't bestow a Knighthood on you for nothing. "Tuning" a saw blade with a tuner: Extra genius! Thank you very much for the advice

I have used that pinless conversion from Axminster for quite a while now. They ALWAYS break from metal fatigue after about 50 uses. They break at the "U" where the right and left side meet. However, for the price, I still used them. I figure its just the price of doing business as there really arent any alternatives.

I've been thinking about getting the pinless adapters as my cheapo saw only takes pinned blades. Now I'm definitely sold!

I hope you can have fun with the scroll saw also for inside cuts ;)
Best regards from a scroll saw workshop, Arnold

I have the 'Record'. I went to a local sewing shop and bought a second hand foot peddle. Blade adapter from Timbecon, and the white 4mm board. Now its 'OK'.

It's a pain on the neck when it comes to straight cuts especially when making angles..is there a way to make a fence for scroll saw, my cuts are awful I gave up on angle cuts..for instance, 45°, my work keeps turning n when am joining them I have to do lots of sanding to be able to come up with a good look on my work😡

[migumi]

Hi. Well done! How is the saw going after a year? happy with it? Ta

[MultiTom]

I have had a proxxon saw ( germany) for a while and the adapters which you showed are not at all reliable due to constant use of inner cuttings the tightening mechanism wears off😊I had to buy it thrice . I am maybe off- topic but seeing those clamps I thought I will share my expereince.

[Blah-blah-sure]

Don’t forget Harbor Freight Central machinery.

[Androo]

Can you tell me what app you use for the notes

[pauld]

cool do those clamps work on Ryobi too?
