Can the Wen scroll saw perform as good as the Dewalt? Watch this before you buy! 

True 😄

😆

Much easier for me, good luck!😊

I love my Dewalt 😊

Sounds terrible! Coming from the Harbor Freight saw, the Wen was good for me at that time. Only because the blade changes were easier. Now that I have my Dewalt the Wen felt like a pain to change a blade out.😬 I hope your Delta makes it back sooner then later!

Absolutely!

I use modified geometry blades by Pegas. They are pinless blades. They are amazing!!

Love my Dewalt

100% 😊

Your welcome and I hope you enjoy your new scroll saw😊

Awesome! Did you find the blade adapters on the HF saw helpful, or are you only using pinned blades? I couldn't get the adapters to work for pinless blades.

I buy Pegas modified geometry blades off Amazon or Bear woods supply. I have not found good blades at home depot. Prices depends on the quantity you are buying.

Sounds nice!

I have that exact same scroll saw...the 40-560C (C means made in Canada). The one thing I don't have is the hold down foot.(no idea what happened to it! lol) Unfortunately they don't make parts for this saw, but otherwise I'm quite happy with it.

Thank you so much💗

I was comparing what I had

Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, I did tighten. Just enough to hold it up.

@@StrongerByGraceDesigns Thanks

There's a video on RU-vid on how to make a simple arm holder for the Dewalt. It cost me about $8 and was simple to make. Just do a search for it.

Yes. I make the most out of the space I have. 😊

🙌 That's great!

Thank you😊

Thank you! It saved alot of headache for me.

They say scroll saws are one of the safest power tools you can get. That is one big reason why I got my own. I need a little finesse too because I am looking at shaping some custom chess pieces. Using the 3D cutting method with my chosen wood the scroll saw is ideal for this kind of work. They have some good tutorials and books on carving some wood chess pieces and construction of chessboards with scroll saws. That is also a reason why I chose a scroll saw. They are not so bad. They just need a little practice to learn how to use correctly.

I'm happy to hear that because I didn't know if it was worth it. I need to get a pedal! I can't decide on a toggle or deadman style though. I tried inserting my blade that way and it wasn't working for me.

@@StrongerByGraceDesigns I have a deadman, I put it on a small footstool so I could reach it. I sit on a high stool. You’ll love it. I sewed a lot so the transition was easy. I can’t imagine cutting without. Slow your speed and move up Have fun

Oh, good idea. I like to sit on a stool too. Thank you!

Amazing!

The Dewalt I have has severe vibration issues.

​@@nperson😊😊😊 Stop lying. Nobody believes u😊

Your welcome

Sketchy? Sorry, the point of the video was to compare a lower-end saw to a more expensive saw. They are both nice. This was to help someone decide whether they should spend money on a more expensive saw or a cheaper tabletop saw would do. I have been here wondering if the Dewalt was worth my money, so that is why I made the video.

Agreed! Not sketcy to me but apples to apples next time. But thanks for the review and your time , but i wanted to see the better WEN VS DEWALT.

I love this. 😆 Thank you!

Thanks

I'm glad I could be helpful!😊

You will be happy with it 😊

Yes, I received one for my birthday this year! WOW, what a difference! Can't believe I went so long without one....

😄

I'm not sure, I don't have any experience cutting metals.😊

I am not sure about them all, but the model of my Wen scroll saw is 3922. Thank you for watching!😊

Thank you, and thanks for watching!😊

Love it!

I just snugged the bolt at the end of the arm, just enough to hold the arm up. I saw someone else do it and it worked. I thought over time I would have to tighten again, but it's been fine. Thanks for watching! 😊

Yes

I used the Harbor Freight saw for a short time. The vibration was actually less then the Wen. The great thing about Dewalt is that there is not much vibration. It's so heavy. My biggest issue with the Harbor Freight one was that I could not use pinless blades. It came with adapters, but they were useless. I do detailed pieces and need to use pinless blades. There are also better quality and more selection for pinless blades. I also struggled with tightening the Harbor freight tension knob. That was a me issue, though. I struggle tightening with my fingers. I hope this helps. The Harbor freight saw wasn't bad. I feel like it depends what you want to make and how much you will be using it. I am a huge fan of the Dewalt. I also use it alot. Hope this helps!!

@@StrongerByGraceDesigns I really appreciate it. I’m mainly a Dewalt user. But scroll saws would be new to me. And I really don’t want to have 2 scroll saws. Thank you.

My tool experience is with...first, a 16" Craftsman using pin style blades. Clunky and I was afraid it would bring the building down by vibration. Next was a Sakura (now PS Wood). I used that saw until I wore out the bronze bushings that secure the moving arms to the solid frame, and that after 15 years of solid use. Added the quick change kit just before it's near terminal demise. I may still fix it. Now I have a RBI Hawk. I like it fine. Just a little less vibe than the Sakura, but the clincher is electronic speed control vs the five speed belted pulleys on the Sakura. The cheap saws are just that...cheap. Mostly I feel they are uncomfortable and far to vibratory to operate effectively. The pin style blades are so big and unwieldy as to render them only marginally better than a corded jigsaw. If you own one of those, go visit someone you know who has a mid-level saw...pinless blades, EVS, quick change upper blade clamp. You will be hooked for life! I have had the opportunity to spend 15 minutes on a DeWalt. I think it's at the top of the mid-level saws. I wouldn't be embarrassed to say I owned one. But no matter how you roll...you need high quality blades, lots of them, a Deadman style foot petal, and a good light preferably with magnification. For years and years I had a 22W circular florescent lamp, but recently switched to LED. I use and toss blades like they fall freely from the heavens. I tend to tension blades tighter than most as I seek to diminish blade deflection during sharp turns. Go-to blade is #5 reverse-tooth, although I also use #7, #9 and on rare occasions #2's. I buy #5's by the gross!

🙌

Glad you enjoyed it!

That was the point of the video.😊

I did change it out for an led, but it really didn't help much.

It's around $500, I'm not sure where you can buy it and get it shipped. Try Amazon Global?? I see Morocco listed as a place they ship to, not sure about something like a scroll saw.

@@StrongerByGraceDesigns think you vers mutch

It could be that you are not putting enough down pressure on your wood near the blade.

Nice! What types of things do you make?

Mostly crafts and painted signs.

Thank you for watching, and I'm glad you got needed info😊

Welcome 👍

Thank you!

Really? I'm surprised with this. I generally cut things out and stack them on the table as I go. They never move.

Your welcome, thank you for watching 😊

@@StrongerByGraceDesigns where and what brand blades do you use

@Danny Flanery They are Pegas modified geometry blades. I bought a variety pack off Amazon to see if I liked them. Now I buy my most used sizes from bearwood.com because I could not find them on Amazon in a bulk pack.

@Danny Flanery I also have a link in the description for my most used size which is #5. Sometimes they are out of stock on Amazon.

@@StrongerByGraceDesigns do you prefer pinned or pinless

Thanks 😄

Sorry you found it annoying. I don't feel the music is too loud. I don't think anyone wants to hear my kids running around upstairs...

Wow mike, you must be the life of the party in your circles. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@PureBloodWNC Again, in English? I think you are suggesting I am not convivial; far from it, but there is a time and place. Why inject questionable music into a discussion of the relative merits of scroll saws? I ask again- what does it add?

@@Tensquaremetreworkshop A discussion is an exchange between two or more people. She spoke, we listened. A narration or presentation as there is a comment section here. Just helping you out as they will complain about your word choice. And yes normally you reduce the background music as we speak to aid in focusing on what you have to say. As for children noise, that is music, its hope.

@@FrancisoDoncona Normally, I would agree- at the time I felt is was a poor choice of terms on my part, and I tend to pedantry too (not a pejorative in my eyes, but a liking for correctness). However, I found one dictionary definition 'talk or write about (a topic) in detail, taking into account different issues or ideas.' No requirement for more than one person (which 'writing' would prevent anyway). As the video was stated to be a comparison, this fits rather well to this definition. Especially as the text also says 'we will also cut out a simple flower together' which suggests we are taking part- we may object to that statement, but it supports the 'discussion' aspect. 'you reduce the background music as we speak...' mixed pronouns perhaps, but it does not explain having background music at all. For those who like background music, why not let the viewer choose their own? They can play the music of their choice, at the volume of their choice. The chances of the video maker getting both right is low, so (once again) why do it?

Maybe one day😄

Oh no, not good!

Another lying liberal

I may have to check those out

I recently installed the Pegas clamps and I'm very disappointed with them. The vibration level of the saw increased which is opposite of what their advertising claimed. Blade changes may be slightly easier with the Pegas clamps but not worth the $80 cost of the clamps.

For the Wen, it's a M4-.70 x 16 hex cap screw found at probably any hardware store.

Sorry, I should have. I guess I figured if someone was watching that they were probably already shopping for them and knew the cost. I believe the cost difference is around $350-$400 without the stand and light add ons.

That would be nice 😉
