Wen scroll saw reviewThe WEN 3920 is a variable speed scroll saw that helps make intricate and artful cuts in work pieces, helping you have complete control over your creativity and designs. The table is quite spacious and slants 45 degrees maximum. The WEN 3920 can manage any kinds of woods, regardless of their composition and thickness. The saw can also be used with pinless and pinned blades. This means there’s a lot going in favor of this scroll saw. Let us take a look at the saw in much more detail in this WEN 3920 16-inch variable speed scroll saw review.

.

Pros Cons
  • The saw runs fairly quiet at different speeds, and is a great saw for a variety of small tasks such as cutting underlayment for purses. Even intricate designs are possible, if you know how to make them.
  • The saw comes ready-to-use right out of the box. It’s completely assembled, the set of controls are easy, and instructions are clear. This is something first-timers would find quite convenient.
  • The table is big enough for different woodworking requirements, regardless of how complex of a task you’re at.
  • There’s just one blade in the box. Usually, scroll saws in this category have at least two blades.
  • Vibration could be an issue but if you hold down the clamp and do not try cutting too fast, vibration should not be a noticeable issue.
  • The blade-changing process can be a task, especially when you compare how easy it is to change blades on other similarly-priced saws.
  • The LED light bouncing issue can be a concern. However, if you have an overhead work light (which you should), then you need not rely on the LED light.
