Axminster Scroll Saw

[Onion73]

Hi all.....

Although I'm a joiner I'm new to Scrolling.....Just set up my new scrolling machine all set up checks done. But the tension wheel keeps rotating loose when scrolling 10mm ply. Any ideas why this is happening before I contact Axminster Tools..... Thankyou in advance. BTW its bolted down on pads , table is level, blade is 90 degrees I'm not forcing the wood...

What model is it , I know it's a bit late to say it but a used Hegner would have been my choice

Thanks for the feedback....Its Axminsters own make. Good reviews on researching, I think I may need to use lower speed setting and will fit a skip blade see if that helps. I hoped I would have been able to lock the tension wheel once set but you cant do that.....

Is your model one of the cheap machines or a Pegas 'lookalike'?
