The Eclipse Scroll Saw frame utilizes a heavy-walled aluminum sand casting frame for its rigidity. The rigidity of conventionally designed saws is dependent on the blade holder mountings, the material and construction of their arms, and how it’s all supported. The moving mass of the arms must be counter balanced to minimize vibration. This movable mass does not exist in the ECLIPSE saw. Instead of moving parallel arms, C arm or link drive components that cause much of the vibration in other saw designs, the ultra-light Oscillating Drive Loop System makes the ECLIPSE nearly vibration free.The 1.5” blade stroke is great for intarsia. This longer stroke spreads the heat and wear over more of the blade making it last much longer and clears sawdust better. This saves you both time and money.Since it has a true vertical blade action (ideal for marquerty and intarsia) and a positive pull from the top to bring the blade to the top of the stroke. Blade breakage is all but eliminated thus you won’t mind using a tool for the lower blade clamp.

== Please review the manual before using this machine. ==
Replacing the blade and adjusting the tension is a bit finicky and may be different from other scroll saws.
