Titan TTB54SSW 457mm Scroll Saw

Thanks for the welcome guys. I don't have many woodworking skills or experience to share, but I am working on it. I was quite surprised to see a topic on the Titan Scroll saw so couldn't resist sharing my experience.

I look forward to posting 10 somethings 500 is some going. I'll head over to the hand tools and see what I can learn. Thanks again, Gary.

(hammer) Just for info - Screwfix are clearing this one out - think I have bought the last one £34-99. (Yes that's right). Have tried it out - Looks O.K. If anybody has history would be interested.

Bill.

Hi Bill, Thanks for the info. The saw you refer to is indeed being cleared out and it is quite impressive how many really good reviews there are about it. The saw being discussed here is a different model and is currently on sale for £129.99. After reading those reviews I am almost tempted to buy this one too, but I suppose that would be silly. I haven't enough room in my garage to swing a cat let alone have another saw. Using 2 at the same time could well improve productivity but being male we know that wouldn't happen.

Hi all

I posted this in the scroll section but hope as some of you seem to have a bit of experience with this saw someone will be able to help



I am new to scrolling so have dipped my toe with the Titan TTB54SSW Scroll Saw from Screwfix. On initial testing I think it'll suit what I need it for

I've noticed they've been mentioned on here a few times so hoping someone with a bit of experience with them can help. How do you increase the blade tension beyond the lever lock? My blade flexes too much and cuts into the back of the circular base plate which then impacts accuracy. I've read the getting started guide front to back and it's pretty useless

Thanks in advance

Whoops. Just noticed this was originally in the scroll saw forum anyway.

Sorry for hogging the board with the same question

To use plain ended blades I removed the grey plastic shield from under table. I first removed blade then the table which is fixed by two 8mm cap head screws. Having moved shield I used a short 5mm bolt to clamp the blade. While the table was off the machine I took the opportunity to polish out the rough surface with my random orbital sander then wiped it over with wax furniture polish

Hey all,

My first post on here

I've just bought this Titan scroll saw, for £109.99 from Screwfix, I think it's great apart from one thing that's niggling me.

I too have removed the cover under the bottom blade clamp to allow easy access to the clamp for pinless blades, I've also found a couple of m4 hex bolts to screw into the top and bottom clamps for use with pinless blades.

My question however is about blade alignment, I've noticed the top clamp is slightly to the left of the bottom clamp which makes both pinned and pinless blades appear slightly diagonal and of course creating a bit of sideways movement, which seems to disappear when cutting wood.

Is this normal for this saw? I'm thinking of ordering another one to see if it's the same, but I don't want the hassle of returning it or both if they are both the same!!!

Have you noticed this with your saws?

Any help would be great as I am keen to get going and this just keeps niggling at me (hammer)

Thanks
Ade
