FWIW, If one lacks many tools or much woodworking experience, Gill's certainly seems simpler.

Carl,
There is a plan for a scroll saw sandbox in Poplar Mechanics Workshop

There have been several threads on this topic.
There is a plan going around for a sandfilled based that will reduce vibration.
The stand is just a box with a floating lid. the box is filled with sand and the lid slips over bolts. The bolts fatsen to the saw. As the saw vibrates the sand settles and the bolts are tightened. eventually the sand doesnt settle any more and the vibration is reduced.
This whole box can be placed on a bench or bolted down.
I am a firm believer that increasing the mass will reduce the vibration.
A carpet or mat just isolates the saw from the table and does not really reduce vibration. Something like motor mounts in a car. the motor vibrates the car doesnt.
I will see if I can scrounge up the plan. If you are interested just email me.

Saw Mount
Hi All ~
Has anyone got any suggestions about mounting a saw to reduce the vibration ? I am thinking about putting a carpet pad between my saw, Dremel 1680, then 3/4 " plywood under the pad next to the legs of the saw. Would this help or is there another way of mounting it ? I have a wooden work bench I could mount the saw on if it would be better than the stand the saw came with. Mounting it to the floor is not an option. I need to be able to move the saw out of my garage to cut with it. Thanks for any hints or suggestons you may have.

by jim_mexSorry Scott - I’ll not be travelling so far north on this trip. I only sold Norma on the trip by telling her that travelling to Atlanta was half the distance than going to Rocky Mount!
Hopefully I’ll get to to see you again next year and finally take that boat trip.
Cheers...-

by jim_mexHi folks. I just posted a thread explaining my absence from the forum for most of this and in it I mentioned I was hoping to get back to scrolling soon but this week a distraction has come up which is going to take me away from all shop work for at least another month.
As folks who have...-
