zimmerstutzen Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 from Home Depot's site: The General BT8007 Scroll Saw also has a 9/16 in. stroke with the allowance of both pinned and painless blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm sure it takes standard 5" blades. 9/16" may also be an average stroke. To me, pinned blades and the hold down clamp, are useless! The saw... ???? Jim Finn and Tommy Johnson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 With a 9/16 stroke wondering why they shortened it up. My EX is 1 inch as was my other saws. Pinned blades are useless to me. Looking at the design and specs sounds a lot like the Ryobi saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I like the fact that it takes "painless" blades! LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywoodmaster Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Don't know anything about it. The shorter stroke may help keep down vibration. The fact that it will take either blade is kinda cool if you don't have to remove the holders to change it over. Never really had a need for a pinned blade but who knows maybe someday.

sullyscroller Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 looks like my Skil brand saw sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I don't think that i have used a pinned blade in the last 30 years, and the stroke sounds a little fast to me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I'm thinking the "painless blades" is what is being pointed out here. I see a lot of mistakes like this in book, online news and and all sorts of things. Editors relying on a spell check, that only checks the spelling but if the wrong word is used, but the word is spelled correctly it is not flagged.. One of the draw backs of automation and everyone in a big hurry to get.... nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmerstutzen Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yes indeed, it was the "painless" blades, I was Making light of. My adult son was hurriedly cutting some wood on a saw a decade ago and a painless blade would have been a benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
