This is the ideal machine for the delicate project: model building, toy manufacturing and precision work. It cuts soft wood (e.g. bass wood) up to 1 3/16 in. (30 mm), hard wood up to approx. 25/64 in. (10 mm), plastic (including circuit boards) up to approx. 5/32 in. (4 mm) and nonferrous metals up to 5/64 in. (2 mm) with standard scroll saw blades. The machine has a very stable ribbed die-cast aluminum saw frame with 11 13/16 in. (300 mm) throat. The blade guide is equipped with an integrated blower. The patented head-part is height-adjustable in three positions and offers numerous advantages: The lifetime of the saw blade is tripled after shortening it twice (teeth in the middle part of the saw blade are finally used, too). With the head in the lowest position, working with a blade shortened to 2 23/64 in. is even more precise. The machined worktable of die-cast aluminum has a size of 6-19/64 in. x 6-19/64 in. (160 mm x 160 mm) and is equipped with an adjustable longitudinal stop and graduated miter gauge (0? - 90?). The ABS plastic body provides a very practical sliding door on the right side of the housing for the removal of saw dust. The saw is powered by a 110 - 120-Volt motor (85W) for prolonged use, low noise performance and even supported by a quiet and wear-resistant toothed belt drive, running in a ball bearing assembly. The machine offers an electronically controllable stroke rate from approx. 150 - 2,500 strokes/min.
