    Default how hard is to change pinless blades on these saws?

    G'day all,

    Hi, I'm new to woodworking. I've never used a scroll saw, but I am looking into buying one. I'd like to do some toys and other little things with it. I'm pretty busy with other things so I won't have a lot of time to work on it.

    I' ve looked through this forum and many other reviews. Everyone recomends the Trupro and alike. It's to exepnsive for me unfortunately.

    People say that it could be a pain to change a pinless blades on some cheap saw. Apparently some saws can have a better clamps installed for holding the pinless blades.

    I was wondering if I could get some advice on these 3 scroll saws below or others. Has anyone have exeprience, own any of these. How hard is to change the pinless blades, are there any (hegner like) clamps replacement for them.

    1. Scheppach Deco flex ($198)
    2. Hafco Woodmaster B-18V ($297)
    3. Proxxon Scroll saw DSH 28092 ($375)

    I can't find any reviews in Australia about proxon. It is the dearest one and it streches my budget already.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Kris

    I am right in the middle (2/4) of cutting 6/4 birch on a $150 Delta scroll saw.
    Pinless or not, it is some fiddle but what drives you to get it done?
    Does this have to be done in the next 20 minutes?

    Part of my answer is repetition and experience = I can undo the top clamp,
    change woods and cut another with little fuss (30 seconds?). I don't drag this saw out, even once a year.
    Save up the projects and spend a day getting everything done.

    But for my rough-out needs, I get exactly what I expect.
    And that's easily good enough for the hand work which I always knew I would need to be doing.
    D-adze blade handles.
