paw Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) I found this goldmine while searching the web. I don't speak Russian but the hundreds of images speak for themselves. http://glavmex.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=711&start=10 Edited June 13, 2019 by paw Eugene Downes, Wilson142, OCtoolguy and 1 other 1 3 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Thanks for posting. I love all the ideas and innovations of the early scroll saws. I used to stand and watch a guy in Old Colorado City who would set up his saw on the sidewalk and just cut away. All foot powered like riding a bike. The hobby has come a long way. I wonder what the next big change/idea will be in the design of the scroll saw. paw and kmmcrafts 2 Quote
Rockytime Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Fascinating! Thanks for posting. Love looking at all that old iron. OCtoolguy, paw and kmmcrafts 3 Quote
Scrappile Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 You could put Pegas clamps on any one of those saw and work miracles with it!!! paw, kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote

I'm guessing it's more along the lines of a CNC or Laser that will eventually take over the scroll saw.. I think probably before the treadle saw was just a hand copping saw? OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Frank Pellow Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 That blade looks rather thick but I would love to give the saw a try. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Ok, let me amend my comment, I love looking at old machinery. No matter what it's made of. Sticks and rocks still fascinate me. John B and kmmcrafts 2 Quote

For me power tools are extensions of your hands, but CNC tools are extensions of a computer. The mistakes you make are part of the art of creation.
