grsjax Posted July 19, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 19, 2020 Anyone have experience with Bucktool machines? I was researching scroll saws to fine one to replace the old and decrepit Dremel I have when I ran across this company. Specs on their 16" scroll saw look good and the price is within my budget. Reviews look ok. It isn't a top of line machine but has some very nice features like a foot switch and cast iron table that similar machines from Wen, Shopfox, etc do not have. Looking for some input from users. https://www.amazon.com/BUCKTOOL-16-inch-Variable-Scroll-Pinless/dp/B07T4N9L93 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

grsjax Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted August 11, 2020 No responses to my inquiry. I went ahead and bought a Bucktool scroll saw anyway as it had pretty good reviews on Amazon and had more features than other saws in my price range. Saw arrived today and first impressions are very good. Haven't cut anything with it yet but after setup and blade installation I gave it a dry run. Sitting loose on a concrete floor it ran very quite with very little vibration. The saw is rather heavy with a cast iron base and table. Table insert is steel and fits very well. Blade installation is easy and the air blower actually works but not sure if it will be up to clearing a lot of sawdust. So far so good. After cutting some wood for a model I am working on I will let you know the score. mtaylor 1 Quote My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them.

Jaager Posted August 11, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 11, 2020 A cutoff of a 2x12 makes for a good base. Both Lowes and Home Depot, list - price not absure - HD will cut - avoid treated lumber. The samples of Armstrong lino flooring - maybe two layers at each bolt as a washer/ pad vibration insurance.
