Product Description

Remember when your scroll saw could cut in two different directions? Take on the most intricate and artful cuts with the WEN 16-Inch Variable Speed Two-Direction Scroll Saw. The 9/16-inch stroke saws through hard woods up to two inches thick. Adjust the speed anywhere from 550 to 1600 strokes per minute with the simple turn of a knob. The cast iron base prevents vibration and walking during operation while the spacious 16-by-10-inch table bevels up to 45 degrees for angled cut. The adjustable air pump clears saw dust from your work area to give you a clear line of vision as you cut. This combined with the 1-1/2-inch dust port keep your work area clean so you can focus on your woodworking. The saw also includes a hold-down foot clamp for securing your project in place along with a flexible work light that bends and adjusts to whatever position your heart desires. This unique blade holder accepts both pinned and pinless blades while also allowing users to change the direction of their cut to accommodate their particular workpiece. For pinned blades, simply pop the pins out of the front holder and turn the blade 90 degrees. Now, your cuts are no longer confined by the 16-inch throat of the scroll saw. On top of that, our removable pinless blade holder design tightly grips blades to prevent them from coming loose during operation. Onboard blade and holder storage creates simple organization solutions between jobs. And because its a WEN product, your scroll saw comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.

Everything in the pictures was cut with this saw.I have owned this saw now for 18 months. I have used it for 100s of hours on scores of projects. This is the only scrollsaw I have ever owned, and over the past year and a half I have enjoyed getting to know this machine better and growing my skills to make more and more detailed designs.I recently made a set of 5, 100 piece puzzles as gifts for friends and family (see picture with some of the pieces). I also made some smaller puzzles. But I've done much more than just the pictured puzzles with my WEN scrollsaw. I've made tons of decorative seasonal items (a nativity, little Easter eggs, etc), toys for my kids (little animals), and little cutouts of movie characters that I gave to kids for Halloween.In October last year, I was repairing my garage ceiling, and needed thin wood shims to lower the drywall a little. I cut the shims to the exact width I needed using this saw (yes, this could be done with other saws, but all I've got besides this is a circular saw).We built custom shelving for our pantry and needed the shelves cut to a precise shape. Yep, you guessed it, my trusty WEN scrollsaw came to the rescue. I was replacing a closet rod and needed the new one cut to length. Do you know how hard it is to make it hold still while cutting with a circular saw?? Guess which saw I ended up using to cut the rod? WEN!My point is, this saw ended up being far more powerful and versatile than I ever imagined. It's stood the test of time, handled all sorts of materials, and keeps on chugging along.A few notes:- I use Olson Skip Tooth Pinless Saw blades. Pinless blades work great in this machine. Just use the included Allen Wrench to tighten the clamps down.- I ended up breaking one of my thumb screws because I was tightening it too much. I contacted Wen, and they sent me a new one. They also sent me a new clamp for the blade, since the broken screw was stuck in mine. Excellent customer service. I don't use the plastic part of the thumb screw anymore - just use the wrench - and I haven't had issues since.- The air pump doesn't blow much air because the bellows is a little too short. To fix this, I cut a thin rectangle of wood that fits on top of the upper arm of the saw. It sits between the bellows and the arm, and compresses the bellows when the arm moves. Now, the blower works great!- I have never tilted the table (always keep it at a right angle to the blade). I set the table stop right where I wanted it and it has never budged since. I check from time to time to make sure that it's still square, and it has stayed right where I put it.- Clamp the saw to the table while you use it (or use the included mounting holes to permanently mount it to a table). This cuts down on vibrations so much and really helps.- I recommend buying a "dead man" foot switch for use with this saw. That way you can control the blade movement on/off with your foot (kind of like a sewing machine). My foot pedal takes this saw to a whole new level!Before buying this saw I was skeptical as I had never heard of the WEN brand before, and was worried about getting a cheaply made saw. In the end, I went for it because I didn't want to spend 100s on another saw since I'd never even used a scrollsaw before. I am so glad that I trusted WEN because they delivered! This saw is my favorite tool.

3.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE! This product is 120V (USA) not 230v (UK)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 24, 2023
Ok so I ordered this after looking at many, MANY reviews!

Well it arrived and this was the 1st thing I noticed - see photo - it has a US electrical plug!!!

WTF am I supposed to do with that in the UK?

So it’s probably a great saw - again based on the reviews. But right now I can’t use it!

Considering this is the UK Amazon website. I’d expect EVERYTHING on it to work in the UK. Unless the seller states VERY CLEARLY somewhere in the initial product description that it HAS A US PLUG ON IT, NOT A UK ONE!

So I went back to the product listing on Amazon and searched high and low for any mention of the fact that this had a US plug on it, worked on the American system of 120v and would therefore NOT work in the UK. There was nothing!

So I now had the headache of working out what rating of step-down converter I needed to buy - which obviously adds to the initial cost of the thing - so I can finally plug it in and see if all the reviews are telling the truth!

After some initial research I worked out that I need a step-down converter that supported either 144w or 180w. Because depending where you look and which Watt calculations you use, I was getting 2 different answers!

I found one with a product rating of 300w on Amazon and ordered it, at an additional cost of £36.

At this point I contacted Wen themselves and I contacted the seller. I asked both if 300w would be sufficient to allow me to use the US 120v rated Wen on UK’s 230v electrical system.

I received a reply from the seller fairly quickly, but only to say they had passed my query to the correct department. It took a further 2 days of messages going back and forth to finally get an answer. But the answer I eventually received frustrated me slightly. The answer said that “the product I had purchased would work, because I needed something to convert 120v to 230v!” That was stating the obvious and failed to even touch on the gist of my initial question, “would 300w be sufficient?”.

As luck would have it I bumped into an electrician that night and after feeding him all the Volt and Amp info I had. He confirmed 300w would be fine as the Wen only needed 144w or 180w (depending on which online specs you believed).

So I plugged it in and it worked fine. I cut a few test patterns and the thing seemed pretty good. Though I wish access to the bottom blade connector was not hidden behind a side panel.

A few days after testing it I received the following slightly shocking reply from WEN:

Our products, either producing or consuming electricity are engineered for the North American market (120 Volts, 60 Hertz). We do not offer or have recommendations on conversion to other electrical standards.
We do not ship out side of North America. We do not have retail sales partners outside of the United States. We do not work with freight forwarders or arrange shipments out side of our sales market.
We respectfully decline to offer an advice at this time.
WEN Products.

So the seller is selling it to UK customers, but WEN do not recommend or sanction this in ANY way!

That’s it! Not a brilliant purchasing experience, but I got there in the end.

Oh I should mention . I suggested to the seller that they updated their listing with some clear indications that the Wen will not work in the UK without purchasing a step-down converter. I hope they do this to save others the same frustration I had and also maybe correct the specs to cover the wattage requirements.

They were good enough to cover the £36 I spent on the converter though. So props to them for that.

Update: Communication with the seller continues to be hit and miss and the product listing still does not detail that this product is for the US market.
