Jet 18-Inch Scroll Saw Features
- Upper Blade Holder: The main selling point about the new Jet 18-Inch Scroll Saw revolves around the brand’s patent-pending blade holder design. Blade changes require no extra tools, and the upper blade holder clamps and tensions the blade in one step. This design also helps expedite the set-up process for pierce cutting.
- Large, 11-5/8″ x 21″ Steel Table: The precision-ground, steel table provides a stable work surface that keeps vibration to a minimum.
- 18″ Throat Capacity and Top-Lift Arm: The Jet 18-Inch Scroll Saw has plenty of clearance for those larger workpieces. The top-lift arm raises 10 inches, and what’s more, it stays up until pulled back down into place. The arm also tilts 45° to the right and 30° to the left as well. Meanwhile, the table stay flat for better control over the workpiece.
- Variable Speed Motor: Jet includes a variable speed dial with this new scroll saw, which allows for a range of 400-1,550 strokes per minute. The Jet 18-Inch Scroll Saw is powered with a 50-watt, 120-volt, 1.3-amp motor.
The Jet 18-Inch Scroll Saw retails for $699, or it can come kitted with a stand for $799. It also comes with CSA certification and a 5-year warranty. Optional accessories, like a foot switch, are available as well.
