WEN 3922 16-inch Variable Speed Scroll Saw with Easy-Access Blade Changes

I bought this to make custom fishing lures. It cuts through wood with ease and is easy to make the cuts you need even if they are more elaborate. I've had the unit about a year and a half and have had no issue with it breaking. It is pretty quite when it runs as well so you dont need to worry about making to much noise. For what I use it for it is a great scroll saw and I would recommend it if you like to do smaller wood projects.

Everything in the pictures was cut with this saw. I have owned this saw now for 18 months. I have used it for 100s of hours on scores of projects. This is the only scrollsaw I have ever owned, and over the past year and a half I have enjoyed getting to know this machine better and growing my skills to make more and more detailed designs. I recently made a set of 5, 100 piece puzzles as gifts for friends and family (see picture with some of the pieces). I also made some smaller puzzles. But I've done much more than just the pictured puzzles with my WEN scrollsaw. I've made tons of decorative seasonal items (a nativity, little Easter eggs, etc), toys for my kids (little animals), and little cutouts of movie characters that I gave to kids for Halloween. In October last year, I was repairing my garage ceiling, and needed thin wood shims to lower the drywall a little. I cut the shims to the exact width I needed using this saw (yes, this could be done with other saws, but all I've got besides this is a circular saw). We built custom shelving for our pantry and needed the shelves cut to a precise shape. Yep, you guessed it, my trusty WEN scrollsaw came to the rescue. I was replacing a closet rod and needed the new one cut to length. Do you know how hard it is to make it hold still while cutting with a circular saw?? Guess which saw I ended up using to cut the rod? WEN! My point is, this saw ended up being far more powerful and versatile than I ever imagined. It's stood the test of time, handled all sorts of materials, and keeps on chugging along. A few notes: - I use Olson Skip Tooth Pinless Saw blades. Pinless blades work great in this machine. Just use the included Allen Wrench to tighten the clamps down. - I ended up breaking one of my thumb screws because I was tightening it too much. I contacted Wen, and they sent me a new one. They also sent me a new clamp for the blade, since the broken screw was stuck in mine. Excellent customer service. I don't use the plastic part of the thumb screw anymore - just use the wrench - and I haven't had issues since. - The air pump doesn't blow much air because the bellows is a little too short. To fix this, I cut a thin rectangle of wood that fits on top of the upper arm of the saw. It sits between the bellows and the arm, and compresses the bellows when the arm moves. Now, the blower works great! - I have never tilted the table (always keep it at a right angle to the blade). I set the table stop right where I wanted it and it has never budged since. I check from time to time to make sure that it's still square, and it has stayed right where I put it. - Clamp the saw to the table while you use it (or use the included mounting holes to permanently mount it to a table). This cuts down on vibrations so much and really helps. - I recommend buying a "dead man" foot switch for use with this saw. That way you can control the blade movement on/off with your foot (kind of like a sewing machine). My foot pedal takes this saw to a whole new level! Before buying this saw I was skeptical as I had never heard of the WEN brand before, and was worried about getting a cheaply made saw. In the end, I went for it because I didn't want to spend 100s on another saw since I'd never even used a scrollsaw before. I am so glad that I trusted WEN because they delivered! This saw is my favorite tool.

I was getting tired of using jewelers saws and coping saws to cut extremely small details in wood. It was time to invest in a scroll saw. The WEN 3922 has been a good start. It was easy to set up and is powerful enough to easily cut the thin walnut and oak I typically work with. The saw is not particularly noisy and has worked well for several months now making accurate cuts. Truth be told, I have had to practice to get the precision I was looking for. I expect the saw to serve me for a long time. PROS - - Good price point and value - Easy to set up and change blades - Quiet operation - Accurate cutting - Nice dust blower attachment keeps work visible - Quality construction, durable device CONS - - Metal base plate around blade not flush with rest of base. This causes small work to get caught on the small lip and interfere with smooth cutting.

As someone who works on a lot of creative wood projects, I’m super impressed with the WEN 3922 16-Inch Variable Speed Scroll Saw. It’s been a total game-changer for my crafting setup, and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting a reliable scroll saw without breaking the bank. Easy to Use Right Out of the Box This scroll saw came nearly ready to go, which I appreciated. Setup was simple and took less than 20 minutes. The instructions were clear, and all the pieces felt solid and well-made. Smooth and Quiet Operation It runs quietly and smoothly, even on thicker wood. The variable speed is super helpful—I can slow it down for delicate designs or speed it up for quicker straight cuts. The adjustable table also tilts for angled work, which has been really useful on my current projects. Tool-Free Blade Changes = Major Win Blade swaps are super simple thanks to the easy-access side panel. No extra tools needed—just open, change, and you’re back to cutting. This feature alone makes this saw stand out. Great for Intricate Work I’ve used it on everything from signs to more detailed designs, and it handles curves like a dream. It’s got a nice balance between stability and flexibility, especially for smaller hands or beginners. Bonus Features I Love The built-in air pump keeps the cutting line clear of dust (very handy), and the cast iron base keeps it stable—no shaking or wobbling while working. Final Thoughts: If you’re getting into scroll work or just need something dependable for detailed wood projects, this one’s a winner. It’s affordable, efficient, and built to last. I honestly didn’t expect to love it this much, but here we are!

Great for the price, gets the job done.

This saw is as fine as I've seen and has a lower price than any other brand with all these features. I once had a Penn State Industries scroll saw with these features, I wore it out and eventually replace it with a used Craftsman. Neither of those had the door to open when changing blades, very nice feature on the Wen. Both those were older, but neither had variable speed control. My Wen is the best I've owned and cost a lot less than any I've looked at. I'm very happy with my Wen.

Cumple con lo esperando, funciona perfectamente

Very kind store I unfortunately live in Ireland so the us plug dosnt work here … my own fault it’s an American brand. The sellers offered me an adaptor. Packaged well and arrived fast. Thank you.

Ok so I ordered this after looking at many, MANY reviews! Well it arrived and this was the 1st thing I noticed - see photo - it has a US electrical plug!!! WTF am I supposed to do with that in the UK? So it’s probably a great saw - again based on the reviews. But right now I can’t use it! Considering this is the UK Amazon website. I’d expect EVERYTHING on it to work in the UK. Unless the seller states VERY CLEARLY somewhere in the initial product description that it HAS A US PLUG ON IT, NOT A UK ONE! So I went back to the product listing on Amazon and searched high and low for any mention of the fact that this had a US plug on it, worked on the American system of 120v and would therefore NOT work in the UK. There was nothing! So I now had the headache of working out what rating of step-down converter I needed to buy - which obviously adds to the initial cost of the thing - so I can finally plug it in and see if all the reviews are telling the truth! After some initial research I worked out that I need a step-down converter that supported either 144w or 180w. Because depending where you look and which Watt calculations you use, I was getting 2 different answers! I found one with a product rating of 300w on Amazon and ordered it, at an additional cost of £36. At this point I contacted Wen themselves and I contacted the seller. I asked both if 300w would be sufficient to allow me to use the US 120v rated Wen on UK’s 230v electrical system. I received a reply from the seller fairly quickly, but only to say they had passed my query to the correct department. It took a further 2 days of messages going back and forth to finally get an answer. But the answer I eventually received frustrated me slightly. The answer said that “the product I had purchased would work, because I needed something to convert 120v to 230v!” That was stating the obvious and failed to even touch on the gist of my initial question, “would 300w be sufficient?”. As luck would have it I bumped into an electrician that night and after feeding him all the Volt and Amp info I had. He confirmed 300w would be fine as the Wen only needed 144w or 180w (depending on which online specs you believed). So I plugged it in and it worked fine. I cut a few test patterns and the thing seemed pretty good. Though I wish access to the bottom blade connector was not hidden behind a side panel. A few days after testing it I received the following slightly shocking reply from WEN: Our products, either producing or consuming electricity are engineered for the North American market (120 Volts, 60 Hertz). We do not offer or have recommendations on conversion to other electrical standards. We do not ship out side of North America. We do not have retail sales partners outside of the United States. We do not work with freight forwarders or arrange shipments out side of our sales market. We respectfully decline to offer an advice at this time. WEN Products. So the seller is selling it to UK customers, but WEN do not recommend or sanction this in ANY way! That’s it! Not a brilliant purchasing experience, but I got there in the end. Oh I should mention . I suggested to the seller that they updated their listing with some clear indications that the Wen will not work in the UK without purchasing a step-down converter. I hope they do this to save others the same frustration I had and also maybe correct the specs to cover the wattage requirements. They were good enough to cover the £36 I spent on the converter though. So props to them for that. Update: Communication with the seller continues to be hit and miss and the product listing still does not detail that this product is for the US market.

Es realmente fácil de usar, jamás había usado una caladora y ese fue mi primer corte sin problemas, me encanta, la calidad del producto es muy buena, no es tan pesada.

Es muy buena para maderas no muy gruesas, es bueno darle una tensión adecuada a la navaja, ya que de no hacerlo se rompen y debes tener refacciones para seguir usándola
