1.0 out of 5 stars A piece of junk!, June 9, 2004

I received this supposedly factory reconditioned scroll saw today and set about putting it together. First, not all the parts were there. Second, the tilt table gauge was bent nearly 60 degrees out of whack. The variable speed knob just spins around and around and has no effect on the speed of the unit.

This thing belongs in the trash can. If I don't get some satisfaction from Delta and The Tool Crib, it's sayonara to both of them.

This saw is junk when it's brand new. Buyer beware!

The product is less than I had expected; basically a poorly engineered blade fastening system..Breaks blades with great frequency and discouraging to operate.

Instructions for the model make references and photos of component parts not part of the saw. Name tag felloff, taped it to hold in place.

Since purchase have observed new scroll saws for the same pricing.

Ok where do I start. well i got my Delta SS250 on August 22nd of 2005 I couldn't wait to get it put together to start sawing. But the saw had other ideas. first there were parts missing . I needed a clamp assemble. and two hex socc set screws to put this clamp assemble on the saw. So I had to call Delta 1-800 number and talk to a lady to tell her what parts were missing when i got the saw. so she take down the parts and this was on August 22nd. Monday afternoon and So when the parts came I sit down to put the saw together again. the Clamp assemble went together fine. so I thought I would put table on the machine. Wrong the table and the scale would not fit or line up with the holes in the machine. they were the wrong ones for this model of scroll saw. So again i had to call Delta's 1-800 number and i had to tell the lady on the phone what had happen and what parts where the wrong ones for this saw. she took down the infomation and said you will have the parts By Thursday of this week. Come Thursday the parts were delivered. So that night husband sit down to put the table and the scale on the saw . But again a problem the screws that were for the scale to be mounted to the machine would not fit this new table and scale they were to small around. So on friday we just bought screws at a hard ware store in a near by town. So on Sept 4th We decides to try and put the saw table and scale on saw this time every thing fit right.Husband put new saw blade in saw and I cut 6 different things out of 1/4 in plywood that afternoon. the saw is great now.it runs smooth is very Quiet and doesn't have any viberation at all. it is very heavy So i bought a stand to mount it on. I will say for all the problems I had with this saw, Delta tech support is great they were very nice and understanding to me on the phone and i didn't have to pay anything for the replaceable parts that i needed. I love My delta SS250 scroll saw.
