As has been said already, the Lidl or Aldi machines are one of many lower end saws You can pay a lot more for the same machine, so if you want an entry level machine either of the above will do You will not gain significant features until you spend a lot more (for new) One of the main...

In my experience, anything with the word "Craft" before it is substantially more expensive than it should be My daughter had an Ottlite desk lamp for crafting, £60+ to buy and a bulb will set you back £30

I don't think its going to be of much help but for what its worth I have one of the headband with light and magnifying lenses, not much use on the scroll saw but helpful for watches, small item repairs etc I have a desk magnifying light with a bendy stem, its okay but not long enough in the...

And common sense ;-)

Sounds like its up to date Telling that they put a spare set in though ;-) Good machine though, I am sure you will enjoy it

In a nutshell, Windows 10 is a better operating system but you do need more memory than under W7 I upgraded to W10 when it was free two or three years ago, I was reluctant to do so having got used to W7 over a long period, but was glad I did I gather W10 can still be had for nothing but have...

You should be able to see if they are metal bushes very easily, the originals were nylon and wore out quickly I changed mine for bearings off some spare router blades and they have worked perfectly, that was before they brought the metal bushes out, I expect yours should already have them...

I have the same saw under its previous number AWFS 18 Its an excellent saw IMHO and you should have no problems with it Yes the Hegner quick clamp will fit and is almost essential in my view NB with the quick clamp you fit it with the thumb screw clamped down on it and leave it that way...

As said the machine you have is one of many sold under different badges These should do the trick <https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-blade-clamp-for-awvfs-scroll-saw-400124> You need a pair of course, they allow pinned or pinless blades to be used They come with an allen key bolt, you...

Much of it is just down to practice, the more you do the better at it you become Given that you are using good quality blades fit for the job in hand Personally I do not use a hold down as they just tend to get in the way but if it makes it easier you, use it Poor quality blades will tend...

Its probably been posted before but it was new to me <https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8fYDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false> https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=8fYDAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false...

I wouldn't have Norton or McAfee if they paid me to have it ;-) Hugely bloated & memory hungry When I have bought computers with either on its the first thing I remove I have used Avast (free) for years with no problems In conjunction with Ccleaner run daily after every session And...

It does both really With the Hegner quick clamp you do not loosen the top thumb screw, the quickclamp remains clamped at the top, so no rocking pivot as you would get with the usual V clamps, which when a blade is fitted you loosen off the thumb screw by half a turn

The main difference between your thumb screws and the likes of the Hegner quick clamp is a rotating disc on the end of the screw, so the blade can rotate slightly as the two arms go up and down, with just a plain thumb screw you may find premature blade breakage as its rigid and will bend...

I wish you well in your sale However, IMHO that is grossly overpricing it As usual anything is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it It is little wonder there are no reviews on Amazon as I do not believe anyone would pay that for what looks like a generic saw with a different badge...

As far as I am aware unlike the Dewalt 788, the Delta 40-694 version does not have the need for a hold up bar or block of wood Personally I wouldn't have either (unless cheap) as parts would be hard to get should you have the need As an addition to my earlier post, the benefit of buying a...

I was just curious what the outcome was? Did you resolve the noise or return it?

The AT460SS mentioned is the later number for the AWFS18 Both are clones of the Hegner It does not have the lift up top arm as found on Dewalt788 & the likes of the King/Pegas/Excalibur etc But frankly it doesn't need a lift up arm The main improvement is to add the Hegner quick clamp...

Thanks but alas no studs in this new build, interior walls are metal stud work, exterior walls are dot & dab The bracket you link to I have just fitted this morning and yes, very solid and worked well I used eight umbrella/wigwam fittings in the end and gave it the hang on the bracket test...
