I am not sure on the 16" but on my 18" I took sandpaper and sanded inside the clamps. There were some burrs left there during the manufacturing process.
Once they were gone it was much better.

I have to admit it is a short coming of the blade clamp designCAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

I have to say that for beveled cuts, I much prefer the EX over my previous tilting table saws (Craftsman and Dewalt). I think a lot of it is the rack & pinion angle...

by hotshotJust a random annoyance . . . . Anyone get frustrated by the Harbor Freight ads that say no exclusions, then you see the details and see "for items under $20", or worse yet, in super small print, "Can not be used for: Atlas, Bauer, Central Machinery, CoverPro, Hercules, Predator, compressors,...

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby hotshotAnd no annoying dust collection holes, for little pieces to catch on, right?
Since tilt arm style saws are my personal favorite . . . I can criticize it right? I hate the freaking dust collection mechanism on my King, and prefer the table on the older Green EX that didn't have that....-
