    As you would expect with Einhell this product works perfectly straight out of the box. Blade changing is straightforward and it cuts hardwoods accurately and effortlessly. Very useful tool for the model maker.

    My first saw arrived faulty; the grub screw for the top housing that holds the blade was broken making the saw unusable but Amazon collected the next day and sent a replacement next day too. the replacement was intact and i had fun setting up. Overall i would say that pinless blades are a fiddle to fit due to the design but not exactly difficult. I think it will become easier with practice. I have run the machine on the thicker end of its limits (22mm pine) and it performed well if a little slower than i hoped. Remember that this is a hobbyist tool and is not meant for long sessions. The manual recommends running for no longer than 5 minutes continually before leaving for 20 mins to cool down so if you are hoping to bash through batch after batch you will find it frustrating waiting on the cool down. My cuts took around 2 minutes each cut and there was a natural wait of around 5 minutes whilst i sanded and then prepped the next cut. I had no issues with over-heating this way. Overall it is a good budget buy for a hobbyist.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have received the bandsaw and do NOT wish to send it back but I am very disappointed to find that there are no instructions written in English, I am not able to read any of the languages enclosed.
    I cannot believe a machine sold on the British market is without local language instructions for setting up.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersBought specifically for cutting some infill pieces of wood for a DIY project at home.
    Found the instructions supplied not to contain an English section – so had to find the pdf and print off the required section for assembly – however is was pretty straightforward to assemble. But wanted so ensure nothing was missed etc.
    The fence is not very accurate – when clamped it does not clamp squarly on the table. So used other means to get a straight cut as per pic – tried to get the fence to square up but as stated it clams off square.
    easy to use and did a good job making light work of 19mm cuts.
    So for what it is happy with the tool for lighter domestic jobs.

    DIY'er equipment - but ok for that use

    Die Verpackung ist sauber, gut und gut durchdacht. Der Zusammenbau gestaltet sich als einfach und schnell. Es sind nur wenige Teile des Schnittschutzes, die angebracht werden mssen und die Gummifsse. Fast komplett ohne Werkzeug zu erledigen.
    Der erste Betrieb ist sofort mglich, da sogar das Sgeblatt bereits eingebaut wurde und eingestellt ist. Der Motor luft an und man kann mit einem Poti an der rechten Seite die Geschwindigkeit der Sge an die zu erfllenden Arbeiten anpassen. Ich empfinde den Motor nicht als extrem laut, weshalb ich die angegebenen 102 dB nicht verstehen kann. Der Motor ist deutlich leiser als die meisten Staubsauger. Bei mittlerer bis hoher Geschwindigkeit erfllt die Sge meine Erwartungen. Bei kleinster Geschwindigkeit habe ich meine Zweifel an die Genauigkeit, da die Sge da in Eigenschwingung gert. Deshalb an dieser Stelle 3 Sterne. Alles in Allem trotzdem 4 Sterne wert fr den Preis.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersThis is my second attempt at one of these.. not the review, the product. The first one was never very good and didn’t cut well, and after about 6 hours’ use it failed completely due to a drive linkeage failure. However, Einhell were very good, immediately informed me that Amazon covered the warranty, and I arranged for its return to them. Looking at the options, I didn’t want to spend much more on a very similar looking product, so took a chance and ordered another Einhell, believing, quite rightly as it happened, that I had just got a ‘duff’ one in the first place. I found straight away that this was the case, as the new one has been much, much, better, cuts very accurately, has less vibration, and is actually quite a pleasure to use. Even the connection to the dust-blower was better, and the hold-down foot is easier to adjust and works far better. You have to take off a panel to change blades, and doing so revealed a slightly different design of drive linkage, making me wonder if there had been a change of design or a batch fault in the one I was originally supplied. Overall, the replacement easily warrants 4* review, which would be 5* had the original been as good. Nice bit of equipment which I’ve now used for at least 6-7 hours and which cuts well, which is a challenge for any saw as I feed it a variety of types and thicknesses of hardwoods.. up to about 15mm oak, which is a tall order for 33W. The working platform is nicely low friction to enable rapid turns with a pinned fretsaw blade. My one tip would be that pinless blades are hard to change, and require removal of the side-panel and of the lower blade mount. If you can, practice with pinned blades which are much easier to replace, and which can make tight turns, plan ahead and use the speed adjust to avoid over-shoot. If the pinless blade holder system was better, a full 5* for operation, as it is, 4*.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is a good little machine for the price and for a beginner (like me) but you quickly realise the pinned blades only get you so far. Intricate inside cuts need thinner blades and those are “pinless” the PR says the machine can use painless but it’s a slow, fiddly process.
    I contacted their Customer Service and they came back to me with pretty useless pics and no practical advice.
    So I’m continuing to use pinned blades for now but I suspect that unless I can find an easier way to be able to use pinless blades I’ll have to upgrade.
    This is a big thing in scrolling and their Customer Service need to be more alive to it and actually assist customers.

    Pas de possibilit d’adapter des lames sans ergots, donc plates ce qui rend le travail plus hasardeux pour corriger les tirs, plateau lger et malheureusement sans repres. Elle vibre beaucoup et pleine puissance elle a tendance se balader toute seule sur la table.

    I like it as I saved 20+ on it as it did not come up to someones idea of the sale . It has a couple of scratches on the sole plate and a miss of paint . It works very well even with the defects as they don’t interfere with the work I am working on.

    Set it up and no function. On inspection found the fuse that is mounted on the PCB behind the controls missing. A bit odd. otherwise a nice and handy machine.

    Sono rimasto stupito dalla versatilit di questa macchina. Dovendo tagliare e sagomare pezzi di legno con spessori non proprio da traforo, ero indeciso se acquistare questa tipologia di macchina oppure una classica sega a nastro. Devo dire che sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso in quanto la sto utilizzando abitualmente per tagliare e sagomare pezzi di legno massello con spessori di 20 mm e saltuariamente pezzi piccoli di radica con spessori anche oltre i 40 mm. Certo la velocit di taglio non quella di una sega a nastro, per taglia benissimo e in pi, essendo un traforo, si possono fare sagome con le forme pi impensabili. Quando poi si va sul compensato con spessori di 4 o 5 mm sembra di tagliare il burro. Ottima macchina indispensabile per lavori fai da te in legno

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersLook, at this price range I was not expecting a top professional model but one made for amateur/home user. And was I impressed with the first use in terms of ease of use, sound level and vibration.

    I am a collector of airguns modelled on real firearms and, to display them, I use acrylic rods pushed through the trigger guards. Normally I cut them using a pad/hack saw and it’s a real pain as 1) it’s hard work and 2) it’s almost impossible to get a real straight cut.
    So.. I thought, although I had got this machine for my other hobby which is wood and leather crafting, I’d try this on the acrylic rods. Note, the word is rods not tubing – they’re solid hard acrylic. I first tried it on 1/2 inch (13mm) rods and it worked well so I next used it on 3/4 inch (20mm) and again it worked – perfectly. Please also note that 1) I used the machine as it came with the ‘free’ blade, all I did was tighten the tension; 2) I’ve never used a saw like this, ever (and I’m mid 70s).
    Something to remember when cutting acrylic especially something as thick as these rods – the blade needs to be running at high speed to generate the cut BUT that also generates heat which melds the two cut sections together. I found that by immediately removing the rod once cut, breaking the two sections apart (quite easy as the acrylic is still soft), then trim off the melted left-over. You then cannot see the burned area as you’ve already got rid of it.

    As said, I’m a rank beginner with scroll saws so I limited my expectations when buying this but, to be honest, I needn’t have done so as the machine worked perfectly. I am truly looking foreword now to trying it out on wood and, with an extra fine blade, leather.

    I wholeheartedly RECOMMEND this scroll saw, even for rank amateurs like me – for someone with expertise, you can expect even more – thinking of buying? GO FOR IT!!!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe box arrived slightly damaged but the machine was fine. When I first came to use it I wanted the table ‘square’, that is, at precise right angle to the blade.
    I put a tri-square to it and pushed the table a horizontal as it would go. However, the blade still had a slight angle. If you are cutting thin materials, probably down to 6mm or so, it might not matter, but the thicker the material the more that angle shows up.
    So I had to unscrew front and back screwed clamps, just under the table, make certain the table would go horizontal. Once I’d tightened the screws again and made certain the blade-to-table was tri-square perfect, I had to unscrew the red angle pointer below the table front and make that point back to exact zero again.
    Since then, no problems – but I am a newbie with a scroll saw.

    and what I paid for was good value. I was a bit dissapointed that a blade holder broke early on, made from a cheap casting I think, but customer service was fantastic and sent a spare same day to arrive next day.
    I am now in the process of making some blade holderrs, courtesy of an Italian bloke on Youtube, and have high hopes that they will work well
    All in all, I think it was a good buy, and would have got 5 stars if is wasn’t for the blade holders

    The saw itself is ok but I paid for a brand new one from Amazon and I received an item that had clearly been opened and removed from the packaging previously. All of the polystyrene inside was broken and the cardboard box had been cut with a knife and re taped. The instruction booklet was also removed from the plastic bag inside and was a bit grubby. If I pay for a new product , I expect a factory fresh item, not a return. Not happy but couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of returning it.

    Bought the scroll saw to cut mainly 3mm thick aluminium. It performs this task well, just don’t force the workpiece through, but let the blade set the pace. Nice sturdy construction, well priced and portable are the pluses snd easy to change blades. Only minus points are it’s noisy but not unbearably so, and took the perspex guard off fairly soon as it’s just a hindrance. Overall though, would recommend for the home DIYer.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersDies ist eine der wenigen Sge bei der man ohne zustzlichen Adapter Sgebltter ohne Stift verwenden kann.
    Die Sgeblatthalterung ist fr Stiftsgebltter als auch fr Sgebltter ohne Stift geeignet.
    Leider muss die Sgeblatthalterung oft leicht aufgebogen werden um die Sgebltter einsetzen zu knnen. Dies ist bei der Proxxon Dekupiersge DS 230/E besser gelst. Auerdem wre es sinnvoll die seitliche Abdeckung mit den selben Schraubenkopf zu versehen wie die anderen Schraubenkpfe an der Maschine. Besser wre aus meiner Sicht Rndelschrauben fr die seitliche Abdeckung. Auerdem wre eine Lampe hilfreich. Bei der ersten Nutzung ist die Schraube an der Sgeblatthalterung abgebrochen, so dass eine weitere Nutzung erst nach Lieferung des Ersatzteil erfolgen kann. Dies kann aber passieren und ist wahrscheinlich nur ein Materialfehler. Die Ersatzlieferung fr den Sgeblatthalter ber Einhell erfolgte problemlos innerhalb von 2Werktagen. Sehr angenehm empfinde ich den Softstart der Maschine. Gegen die unvermeidlichen Vibrationen, habe ich nicht mehr genutzte Schwingungsdmpfer fr Waschmaschinen unter die Fe der Sge gestellt https://www.amazon.de/dp/B08Z77RQ9Q?pd_rd_i=B08Z77RQ9Q&pd_rd_w=DYDdn&pf_rd_p=9585c315-1c6f-4148-83b7-a0989da2f3f6&pd_rd_wg=RcJ5e&pf_rd_r=VY8526Y2KYRBJZF26WJH&pd_rd_r=da9e8e12-6e68-4a85-97e4-7dc38329314a. Damit luft die Sge relativ ruhig und vibrationsarm, nicht lauter als eine Nhmaschine. Weil mich die Spannvorrichtung mit Inbusschlssel nicht zufriedenstellte habe ich mir die Schnellspannvorrichtung von Scheppach gekauft und montiert https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B006FXDGSO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Damit habe ich fr meine Bedrfnisse die perfekte Sge.

    Not made final payment yet and the bearing behind the blade has disintergrated.
    On cutting some woods the grain and knots will cause the band to twist slightly. This means your cut will go wonky. Ease of the pressure you apply.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Band can be pushed by the grain causing untrue cuts.
