Hi all new here and keen to get scrolling so had a cheap french sourced fretsaw and found it was just little poor so I set about building my own with stuff laying around my yard. I used the switch and motor from the cheap build worker saw.
So far I have a saw that works but it does vibrate a bit at higher speeds. The design is a parallel arm motion with basically two bearing mounted arms I know Ill attach a pic.
I do have adjustment of the blade and it has spring tension also a bit like a hobbies gem. The problem I have also is that I like to work at low speeds but the motor torque when turned down isn't brilliant so I will source another motor.
The machine is a bit rough around the edges but does work does any one have any ideas for improvement such as blade clamp designs ect
Hope you found my saw interesting it only took me a day to knock up
