scroll saw proxxon ds 460


Recommended Posts

hello

i want to buy a scroll saw (i not have any saw not a table saw and not a scroll saw... i think for the beginning a good scroll saw will be Excellent for me because for cutting planks i have the chopper and i have the Dremel for timbers .. so I'm Guessing that i not need a table saw for right now...)

 

my question is if someone have the proxxon sd 460 and how is it?

in my country that kind of tool are very expensive (it cost here 634 usd!!!)

Michael,

 

I don't know what country you are in, but give some thought to buying a regular scroll saw from a hardware/home improvement type of store.   They work as well and give you more flexibility as far as the size and type of materials you can cut.

My apologies, Michael.  It looks like the bigger saws are way more expensive.  

 

If you don't get an answer from someone here, do a quick search on "proxxon scroll saw" (remove quotes) from the main page.  I got a lot links to discussions about Proxxons and also build logs where the saw was mentioned.

A generic 9" tabletop band saw with a 1/8" blade will do an excellent job of scroll cutting.  With a Carter Products Blade Stabilizer, scroll cutting is even better.  Change to a 1/2" blade and you can do some resawing (in the 1-2 " stock range) and cross cutting (you might could rig a carrier/slide table like with a table saw - the back would need to be uncut to keep the two sides attached).  Inside scroll cuts and extreme curves can be done with a hand fret/scroll saw.

It gives you a more versatile machine.

See the size of readily available replacement blades (59 1/2 here) and make sure they fit the saw you choose.

If the Carter upgrade is do-able as far as cost, make sure your model choice will fit one.

Would the Dremel Moto Saw meet your needs as a relatively low cost option - it costs about US$100 here in Australia? As you already have onr Dremel tool, I assume you can source them easily in your country.

G'day Michael,

 

I have a Proxxon 28092 scrollsaw - it always makes this exact noise when I get it out and start it up but in my case its because the powerpoint I use is on the left of the machine and the motor is on the right  so the power cord passes under the front of the machine and always gets in the way of the lower part of the oscillating blade mechanism. Once I reposition the lead to run behind the saw the noise stops and it is very quiet.

 

. It always takes me a little while to figure that out each time - I should put a note on it to remind me!

Hi, I have a proxxon scroll saw and that is exactly as it sounds. If you consider they are sometimes called a vibro saw then that kind of explains the noise.
