    Advice on Proxxon scroll saw please

    It seems that the only way around using the Allen key is to replace the bolt with one that can be tightened by a socket, which is my preference. I also am selective in choosing patterns that have the minimum of internal cuts thereby reducing the amount of times I need to loosen the blade. My...

    Advice on Proxxon scroll saw please

    Thanks for the info. I really can't understand why Proxxon have not addressed the problem, either by using stronger bolts that the heads don't get rounded or indeed using thumb bolts! Anyway good luck with the next ones.

    Quick release for Producing DSH 2 speed scroll saw

    I have been in contact with Axminster and the quick release heads will not fit my saw. However I have established that the size of the socket headed bolt that is used in the saws clamp is M4 so I will try and manufacture a thumb screw or some kind of threaded knob to replace the original...

    Quick release for Producing DSH 2 speed scroll saw

    Hi thanks for the info. I think that I will have to make something like the threaded knob. From the photo it would appear that manufacturer part would mean that the arm would be extended and therefore changes would also be required to the table. Thanks once again.

    Quick release for Producing DSH 2 speed scroll saw

    Hi I am recently new to scrolling. My saw is not user friendly when it comes to changing blades which are held in place with machine screws that require a hex key to tighten. Consequently after a few weeks use the screws are already becoming worn and require extreme pressure to hold the blades...

    Hi welcome So glad to hear that someone else have the same saw as I do. I find it good to use although I wish that it had an easier to use blade holder, it is a little fiddly when changing blades, but for the price what can you expect. I took the time to sand the bed with wet and dry and then...
