The Jet 727200K Scroll Saw has a very compact design, so it’s great if you are looking for a model that will not take up too much space.

Jet 727200K Scroll Saw Features
- Cutting Accuracy: Arm tilts 45° right and 40° left, keeping the work table flat.
- Convenient Accessories: Blade storage features slots for pre-loaded blades, and a built-in wrench for changing blades.
- Precise Speed Control: Variable speed range of 400 to 1,550 strokes per minute.
- Save Time: Exclusive 2-in-1 upper blade change mechanism both clamps and tensions at the same time.
- Stable Worktable: Large 12-7/8″ x 23″ cast iron table limits vibration.
Clamps: The clamps that hold the upper blade also tensions the blade. This is done by the cam clamp, a very innovative clamp that does both things in one step.
The lower blade is held with a clamp, which allows it to snap into place quickly.
You will need tools to remove the lower blade, though – this ensures that the blade can’t slip out of place.
Table: The table is made from cast iron, ensuring that your working surface is always stable. It is comforting to know that you will only encounter minimal to no vibration and only when operating at the highest speeds.
With a tilting saw head, the work table remains flat, so you have a more comfortable position to work in.
Storage: The unit features integrated storage with slots for pre-loaded blades.
Based on your preferences, you can position this storage rack on either the left or the right of the scroll saw.
Blade Change: Blades can be changed easily thanks to the fact that the spring-loaded arm will lift to 10″ to accommodate the blade change in a comfortable position.
