Overall the Proxxon DSH 2 Speed Scroll Saw is the best scroll saw on the UK market. It cuts with both power and precision and really is super-quiet. In fact, if you put it on some sort of anti-vibration mat, it makes hardly any noise at all.
There are, however, some minor issues with this scroll saw. The main one is that blade-holding bolts are only marginally useful at best. They are easy enough to swap out with better ones. It’s just a bit of a shame that the manufacturer didn’t choose something better.
Similarly, the supplied blades are definitely not the best scroll saw blades around. To be fair, this scroll saw is very competitively priced, so you’re still getting a good deal. Again, however, it’s a bit of a shame that the manufacturer didn’t choose a more robust option.
The last issue is really a minor gripe. This scroll saw needs an Allen key to change the blades. You do get one included but there’s nowhere to attach it to the saw. This means that the onus is on the buyer to remember where they put it.
