Perfect for small crafting. Excellent saw, easy to use. Excellent value for the money. Great for newbies (like me)!

The Proxxon scroll saw is a wonderful tool for detailed work on jewelry and other physically small projects. I use it to initially shape wax forms to be cast. It does a great job. With the blade cut to the shortest length, it can be precisely controlled.I agree with a previous reviewer that cited the extremely poor instructions.Blade changing is a bit unorthodox but with practice it's passable. It's very important to install the blade so that it makes contact with roller guide. Also, as recommended in the instructions, cutting the blade to shortest possible length greatly improves accuracy. The blades are easily cut to size with normal medium-duty wire cutters.I was surprised to find that the unit included crosscut and rip guides. These have proven to be very useful assets.The saw is very well made for a relatively inexpensive item. If you are doing model level work, I highly recommend this saw. However, if you are into large-scale projects, it's not the tool for you.

Just what I was looking for. Relatively small footprint, precision blades, and smooth cuts. A bit pricey, but ultimately worth it.
Came used and in French wtf!

Didn’t come with instructions on how to put it together. When we finally assembled it and used it we realized the machine it’s not as strong as we thought. You can barely cut anything, we were struggling with popsicles, which was the only thing it cut.

Great little scroll saw for around $150. I have a larger scroll saw (Dewalt 788, another excellent saw) but I wanted something to handle small parts and for my kids to use. For the price and application this machine is perfect. Don't expect it to cut thick pieces like a larger scroll saw could. This is for modeling and small detail work. In this regard it is perfect for the price. The quality is good and it is accurate enough for my purposes. If you need to cut thick pieces and don't want to spend $400-500 for a decent machine (like the Dewalt 788), there are other FULL SIZE but cheap machines out there.Some reviewers mentioned that blade changes were difficult. I didn't find this to be the case at all. In fact, it's no more difficult than changing blades on my venerable Dewalt 788 full size scroll saw. I guess it depends on your level of experience with shop tools. This tool was no more difficult nor easier than what I've experienced.

I really like this little saw!! I have a larger scroll saw but wanted something smaller and more useful to me in my model building activities. The Proxxon DS115/E fits the bill nicely. Be aware if you want to slice through 1 inch thick hardwood this isn't the saw for you. But, if you want to use it within the capabilities recommended by Proxxon it really shines. I've cut balsa up to 1/2" thick, 1/8" thick walnut and basswood, 1/16" various plastics and, with a jewelers saw blade, have cut templates from 1/16" aluminum. The capability of using shortened blades is a real plus. It is a bit slower in cutting than a larger saw (one that has more HP and stroke length) but that allows for the precision I wanted. Proxxon recommends mounting it to another board or the bench but I haven't found that necessary thus far. No scroll saw is great at ripping long parallel pieces and the Proxxon is no different (owners manual mentions this) - most don't have a rip fence even though the Proxxon does. When used within its capabilities this is a great little saw.

The saw seems to be a nice little unit; seems well built and durable...But I would alert any potential buyers to check out their saw as soon as it arrives...The unit I received was obviously a refurbished item...Still had some sawdust in the cabinet! The work table was scratched and the on/off switch had obvious use...The included blades were in an envelope that had been opened...I returned the saw at once...Amazon was very apologetic and processed my refund instantly, but there is no excuse for sending out used products advertised as new...I have seen some comments in other reviews for other Proxxon products mentioning this same situation...I might try ordering the saw again, but once burned, etc....

This small scroll saw is well made, and works well for ship models and other similar small scale work. Quality of the build is very good for the price. It would not be good for the larger scale work which is generally done with the larger, more heavily built, and more expensive scroll saws.

I've had my Proxxon Scroll Saw saw for about a year now and is fantastic!!! The build quality is very good, I like the fence that is supplied. The adjustable blade is a nice convenience

beaucoup de gens disent que la précision n'est pas bonne...c'est normal quand on a une lame qui fait a peine 1 mm de largeur et ajusté en pleine hauteur..mais si on ajuste la hauteur au plus bas la précision est impeccable, évidemment il faut couper la lame. J'ai fait des coupes avec des lames no 28114 (50 dents par pouce) fait pour couper le métal mais je les utilisent pour le bois ,cela fait un belle finition pour les petits morceaux.Maintenant en ce qui concerne le remplacement de la lame c'est vraiment facile...on peut voir quelques video sur youtube,,,tout ce qu'il faut c'est de l'observation....):

Disappointing in all regards. Poor precision, very awkward and troublesome sawblade holdings, power switch in an unsafe location. Unable to make strait cuts in any material, underpower for most uses, over-priced for what you get. Seek alternative brands.

I use it for the building of an balsa rc plane. Printing the part from the plan an the wood with a iron, and cuting the parts with the machine. I was very surprise, there is no need to sand, it much more clean than expected.Perfect for balsa, foamboard. Very clean cut using the 28118 blades.Also, very good support from the germany factory for the spare parts.
