Can I use use on my scroll saw

I don't see why not. My application was for a sewing machine. As long as it provides light without creating a safety issue it should work. Just try to store the cord away from moving parts.

if the body of the saw is made of steel. if it is plastic or aluminum it will not unless you can glue a round thin steel washer to the saw. that will do the trick.

The technician said he really likes this item and it has worked well for us. He said it should work fine on a scroll saw as long as you have something magnetic on it.

It depends, I am using this on my Jet Bandsaw and have it attached to the upright which is cast iron and magnetic. It works to span the foot or so distance to the blade area, so I can see, but I also added other lights for even better visibility. LED lamps emit light from a smaller area that say a regular bulb so shadows can be more of a problem.You need to have a magnetic surface with about 2 inches of flat surface close enough to allow you to position the light so it helps you see your work. That being said for the price it seems to work reasonably well for me. Good luck!

Yes you can but it's difficult. You would not benefit from the splinter free cut of the track. In fact, many of the features of the saw are a result of track integration. Without the track, it's sort of an unwieldy circular saw. I think I rather go with the circular saw vs. a track saw with no track.

This bandsaw is not a scroll saw but a crosscut saw for fast square cuts on random length materials . It works very well for this purpose. It would in fact fulfill your needs and much more . I do not know of any mounting hardware as it is a hand operated band saw.

The jigsaw is better for rougher cuts on semi thick wood. If you are doing something intricate on thinner wood like balsa, you would want the scroll saw.

The word jigsaw was used for scrollsaws in the past, but it is now used for what is also called sabre saw. A scroll saw is capable of much more accurate work. When used with plain end blades, it is capable of making interior cuts of 1/100" radius or less. However, if you are doing fretwork projects which require many small interior cuts, I would recommend spending a little more, and getting a better machine. This machine has an adapter that lets you use plain end blades, but the process of moving the blades from hole to hole is very slow and cumbersome. Other machines costing about thirty dollars more make the change so much faster that the time saved is well worth the extra initial investment.

If you can mount the system correctly it should work with your saw. If you want to keep it as a portable unit to transport frequently you may have problems having to remove and reinstall the system for transport as it does take quite a bit of room. The rail system is fairly sturdy but may be easly damaged if shifted around during transport without removal from saw.

I doubt it. It is for light duty. For intricate patterns a scroll saw is what you want.

The Scroll saw will take you for ever and does not cut straight lines, you would be better off with a band saw. Building a bookcase I would buy a skill type saw or just a plain hand saw unless you are planning to establish a work shop with some tools. The Scroll Saw is what the name is, it is made for scrolling.

I would not. This chain is designed for specific torque and speed to meet ANSI kick back criteria. Go to this site: http://www.powersharp.com, select your country, then select the product selector in the bar menu to find if your saw is listed.Also the Powe rSharp site has this warning: " ATTENTION: PowerSharp® is currently available for 3/8" low profile pitch, .050" gauge saw chain".

If it connects with a single screw like modern ones I will work. I would go to a local store that sells scroll saws and look at the holder and compare. I bought this to replace my factory Porter Cable holder and it works flawless! It can be used as pin in or plain in. Downside to this is you must use an Allan wrench to install and remove the blade, but worth the extra few seconds. It grips a plain in blade so it doesn't slip when you tighten it. The instructions are a little confusing but once you figure them out it is a 5 minute install. Good luck and I hope it works for you, it was a great investment for me as I use my scroll saw daily for part of my woodworking business.

You can use it like a wet saw but it is for dry sawing only. You will need to go slowly and not let the blade overheat.

Most definitely!! It can be used for any "fine" cutting. Just remember that it is a "pull saw", not a "push saw". (Japanese style)

Generally I would say you absolutely cannot. The scrollsaw blades normally used to cut pieces of wood are very thin and fragile with very small teeth that would be also immediately damaged by trying to cut sheet metal. Having said that, if the sheet metal was very thin and soft they do make blades that are essentially small, flexible, round files which might be able to wear your way through the metal. But his machine is, shall we say, overly stressed by wood thicker than 3/8 inch . Sheet metal will send it to an even earlier grave.

Can't answer of course because I've never tried it on saws other than the one it was made for. Might or might not.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

I am sorry, I purchased the scroll saw to make a fancy birdshouse for my wife. I have not started the house yet.

You really DON'T want to do that. It'll most likely require removing the blade guard and that's NOT a good thing. That being said - UNPLUG IT, remove the existing blade (and NOT the guard) and see if the bigger one fits SAFELY inside the guard. Spin it by hand while raising and lowering the guard. If you have 100% clearance, then its OK to use. The slightest rub - and the solution is to buy a new saw or another blade. Stay SAFE....
