I didn't do this for my saw. It's important that the tension lever stay where you put it. In other words, you want it to stick to the location you set. I suppose if it's difficult to move the lever, some grease would help. Just be prepared to wipe it off if you "un-stick" it too much.Good luck!

I'm glad this worked for you. Perhaps make sure the lower metal enclosure is together nicely (no gaps)... and also that the rocker assemblies that hold the upper and lower blades are seated firm against the metal enclosure.

Hmmm. With the machine unplugged and the rear case off, try turning the motor shaft manually by spinning the counterweight. If that large pivot rod is seated, and the red washer is on the motor shaft, and the rocker assembly upper and lower bars are connected to the assemblies that hold the blade, it should move as expected.Note: All of those assembly parts are perfectly sized. If you didn't have to force anything in place, everything should line up perfectly and everything should spin/move when you turn the motor shaft manually.If you get it to work, please write back.

Nice!!!!!

Nice modifications! Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the suggestion. I may just do that. :-)I'm glad your saw is still going strong! It's a great machine... no doubt about it!

Taco... for the win! :-D

I'm glad you think this is excellent! Thanks for letting me know. That's awesome! Please share this with others who might benefit. :-)

Sounds good, SmokyBlue! I sure the concepts in this Instructable will apply to your Wren saw even if the parts are a little different.

Yeah... I'm sure the techniques here will apply to your saw even though your parts/mechanisms may be different. I hope what I have done helps you. Either way, thank you for checking this out. Please consider passing this along to anyone else who enjoys using the scroll saw. :-)Thanks again,Matt

Looks great Charlie! It's awesome!

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. I can't help but smile when I'm around it. --Matt--

Total bad azz! I love it!

Thanks for pointing that out. Rest assured, I have earplugs in 100% of the time. The large ear muff style kind won't fit over the face shield's plastic head straps. I really need to find a product that combines the face shield ear muffs... that'd be perfect.

So awesome!

Hey Joe... I like it!

I agree with BALES... the rendering ThecknoDecker created is awesome. It's awesome on so many levels.

Glad you like it!Also, you have an awesome logo! Just sayin':-)

Mine too! Also, you have great profile icon. :-)

Awesome! Please give it a try. If you do, please consider sharing the results. :-)
