Einhell TC-SS 406E Scroll Saw - Electric Fret Saw with 47° Tiltable Metal Work Table for Bevel Cuts, Tool-Free Blade Changes, Hobby Saw with Dust Extraction for Woodworking, Crafting and DIY

Look, at this price range I was not expecting a top professional model but one made for amateur/home user. And was I impressed with the first use in terms of ease of use, sound level and vibration. I am a collector of airguns modelled on real firearms and, to display them, I use acrylic rods pushed through the trigger guards. Normally I cut them using a pad/hack saw and it’s a real pain as 1) it’s hard work and 2) it’s almost impossible to get a real straight cut. So….. I thought, although I had got this machine for my other hobby which is wood and leather crafting, I’d try this on the acrylic rods. Note, the word is rods not tubing - they’re solid hard acrylic. I first tried it on 1/2 inch (13mm) rods and it worked well so I next used it on 3/4 inch (20mm) and again it worked - perfectly. Please also note that 1) I used the machine as it came with the ‘free’ blade, all I did was tighten the tension; 2) I’ve never used a saw like this, ever (and I’m mid 70s). Something to remember when cutting acrylic especially something as thick as these rods - the blade needs to be running at high speed to generate the cut BUT that also generates heat which melds the two cut sections together. I found that by immediately removing the rod once cut, breaking the two sections apart (quite easy as the acrylic is still soft), then trim off the melted left-over. You then cannot see the burned area as you’ve already got rid of it. As said, I’m a rank beginner with scroll saws so I limited my expectations when buying this but, to be honest, I needn’t have done so as the machine worked perfectly. I am truly looking foreword now to trying it out on wood and, with an extra fine blade, leather. I wholeheartedly RECOMMEND this scroll saw, even for rank amateurs like me - for someone with expertise, you can expect even more - thinking of buying? GO FOR IT!!!

Great product

My first saw arrived faulty; the grub screw for the top housing that holds the blade was broken making the saw unusable but Amazon collected the next day and sent a replacement next day too. the replacement was intact and i had fun setting up. Overall i would say that pinless blades are a fiddle to fit due to the design but not exactly difficult. I think it will become easier with practice. I have run the machine on the thicker end of its limits (22mm pine) and it performed well if a little slower than i hoped. Remember that this is a hobbyist tool and is not meant for long sessions. The manual recommends running for no longer than 5 minutes continually before leaving for 20 mins to cool down so if you are hoping to bash through batch after batch you will find it frustrating waiting on the cool down. My cuts took around 2 minutes each cut and there was a natural wait of around 5 minutes whilst i sanded and then prepped the next cut. I had no issues with over-heating this way. Overall it is a good budget buy for a hobbyist.

Setting this up was very easy. You only really need to secure the head, attach the small air pipe and align the blade. It came with two, one already fitted and another spare in a plastic bag. The clear visor to "shield" you from the cutting area is utterly useless and I removed mine within seconds of making my very first cut. I've never owned a scroll saw before and found it very easy to use. It takes 127mm blades fitted with a holding pin on each end meaning cutting holes to pass one end of the blade through needs to be 4 or 5mm thus limiting the size of the small cuts to not so small. I've been told by a friend you can use pinless blades but yet to try it. The manual I found to be pretty useless and doesn't really give you any information that's of any use except for the specs - it's there that I found it takes 127mm blades so I ordered a pack for me to practice with. It's not too loud to operate although I do strongly recommend securing it to a worktop. There's a hole in each corner you can secure it to a bench with and in the small plastic bag are four rubber feet that can also be placed into the holes for support should you want to keep it mobile. Overall a great little saw and I'm really looking forward to using it some more. I bought it primarily for letters for signs but I'm definitely going to be using it for a lot more.

Absolute beginner with a scroll saw so went for this , I find it very good & easy to use , bolted mine down to the bench so no vibration , only drawback I’d like to do more intricate work but would need the pinless blades , can you change the blade holder clamps to accommodate the pin less blades

I looked an numerous makes of scroll saw before opting for this one, mainly because of throat and power rating. However, I was a little anxious about thicknesses of material it would deal with as some reviews were suggesting it would struggle with more than hardboard! The instruction manual is basic, but does warn about blade breakage as a novice gets used to this machine. Fortunately, the original blade is still intact. What I have found i that it will cut through 22mm thickness American Oak to cut a profile to go wound a skirting board (at least a cut of 18 cms. Mind-you, it has to be taken very slowly and feed rate is a snail pace to allow the blade to cut. So-far I don't regret the 100 quid.

Robusta, precisa, di qualità ed economica. Ne consiglio il suo acquisto soprattutto per chi è alle prime armi.

Bir süredir kullanıyorum ve oldukça memnunum. Makineyi çok ısıtmadan arada dinlendirmek lazim. Zaten endüstriyel üretim için tasarlanan bir makine değil. 10 dakikadan daha uzun süre çalıştırılmamasi gerektiği kitapçıkta yazıyor. Arada dinlenme esleri verilmeli. Yumuşak ağaçlarda oldukça rahat. 4 cm kalınlığı kesiyorum. 2 cm gibi kalınlıklarda akıyor gidiyor. Sert ağaçlarda olabildiğince 2 cm i geçmemek gerek ve sabırlı olmak gerek keserken. Daha kalın olursa zorlanacaktir. Özellikle bıçağa doğru farklı yönlerden çok baskı uygulanmamali ve keserken sabırlı olunmalı. Bu şekilde bıçak da koparmazsiniz. Kontrplak, MDF falan cihaz için çerez. Bu şekilde kullanacaksanız işinizi kesinlikle görecek. Tereddüt etmeden alabilirsiniz. Ses için yorum yapacak olursam ben evde ve gündüzleri kullanıyorum. Akşamları kullanmıyorum. Bir şikayet veya rahatsızlık duymadım komşulardan. Cihazın farklı kalınlıklarda yedek bıçaklarını da edindim. Kolay bağlantı aparatı, pimsiz uçlar falan gerek de kalmadı.

Ich war angenehm überrascht über diese Dekupiersäge von Einhell. Sehr gute Verpackung und sehr kurze Lieferzeit. Die Verarbeitung zur vorherigen Maschine ( blaue Farbe ) ist sehr gut. Sägewechsel geht auch schnell und unkopleziert. Der Sägeschnitt ist sauber und auch kleine kurfenschneiden ein Kinderspiel. Alles in einen, eine sehr gute Maschine die ich nur weiterempfehlen kann.
