Ryobi scroll saw, Is it worth it. Let's find out!

[@donnaporter3989]

I have had my Ryobi scroll for like 20 plus years, it stills works good but i do need to replace my air line on it, my grandkids think its the bomb, they love when i cut small things out for them to make. it has paid for itself in the happiness it has giving us over the years. this was a good video thanks.

[@hanspijpers2100]

Not much of a test, For instance how hard is it to change the blade say if you want to cut very intricate figures ? Kind regards Hans

I had a Ryobi scroll saw that was bought over 10 years ago - it was great but finally broke. As it had been so good I went out and bought this one which apart from colours and the now variable speed control looked identical. Afraid I have been very disappointed with my initial use, the throat plate used to be metal its now crappy plastic that on mine isn't even flush and causes pieces to hang leading to vibration and chatter, the light is rubbish, the blowpipe is rubbish and I am hoping it is just the blade that it came with but it doesn't cut well at all, wanders, grabs so I am very very disappointed so far. I will try a new blade hopefully that improves things, not sure what to do about the throat plate. I have had a lot of Ryobi tools over the years and have always been pleased, I really hope this isn't the direction they are going in.

What thickness of wood can you cut

[@jimmyroe8826]

To reduce vibration clamp the Scroll saw to the table.

Yes it is a very good scroll saw U have been using it for year's and untill now it is in good condition, I have 2 unit of that 16 inches scroll saw, and one of the good thing is, I make wooden scroll saw out of my Ryobi Scroll saw, almost 8 wooden scroll saw I had made❤️👍👍👍thanks for sharing,,

[@WizzardofOdds]

All you showed is that it cuts, what type of blades does it use, are they pin type or flat top, how is the sawdust clearing.

[@dawnabbott3783]

How is the blade changing and ease to get through an inside cut?

[@josebagayana]

I thought there is a supplied blade clamp on it, but mine I made a quick release out of seat post of a bicycle and it does good quick clamping👍

I like Ryobi and have the 18 Volt tools, I want the Ryobi scroll saw, do you recommend it over others in its class?

[@livefreeandtoolon]

I like mine it has served me well.

[@CharlesNolanArt]

@@livefreeandtoolon That's good enough for me, I am subscribed and eager to learn from you!

[@brumrunner15]

thank you. I have just bought a ryobi and look forward to giving it a go!! for what it's worth, it didn't come across as a commercial to me!!

[@aharris1415]

Do you like it? I'm still on the fence!!

[@brumrunner15]

@@aharris1415 yes mate, i do. as beginner, it is easy to use, and I am learning on it well!!

[@aharris1415]

@@brumrunner15 I just bought one! I did have to exchange it cause the tension knob was broken. It was bent forward and it really messed with the machine. Lots of vibration. New one is working well!!

[@joaomarques3757]

what is the model of this saw?

[@allenredfearn438]

Love the box cutter lol. Hopefully you didn't have to return it. :)

[@randymurray934]

Seems decent enough, Just note that scroll saws are all about practice and more practice + blade choices.. Cheers

FYI EXACT SAME AS HARBOR FREIGHT. Save 50% or more.

[@jayweinstein1633]

As an owner of this and wish I wasn't I will warn all lookers to keep looking. This saw is poorly designed especially in both the top and bottom screws that hold the saw blade. Both will strip and break from the plastic knob that holds the screw that locks the blade in place. Leaving you with almost no way to tighten or release the blade. Keep shopping elsewhere. This is junk!

[@admspooner]

Another great commercial.

[@gregwoolley]

Nice to see it in action.. you clearly think it's worth it, but at least for me, from the little you've shown us in your video, it's not possible to make an informed choice whether it's worth it or not.. it would have been helpful if you could have gone into more depth.

[@jayshreve4567]

This is a comment I read from another video I watched about this scroll saw and was wondering if it's true for anyone else?: "This saw is poorly designed especially in both the top and bottom screws that hold the saw blade. Both will strip and break from the plastic knob that holds the screw that locks the blade in place." Looks to be a comment Jay Weinstein posted on this video too.
