FANTASTIC SYSTEM [Posted on 2001-01-13]
This system is a breeze. Easy to adjust the thumb type screw for different size blade thickness. Then just clamp it shut. How easy is that? This idea works well and is so simple a monkey could do it.This model once you have adjusted it for your blade thickness, just close the jaws with the lever and your all set to go. With the power of this clamp and so much adjustability blade's slipping are a thing of the past. Why delta only puts this quality clamp on the top arm I dont know.They DO however offer it both top and bottom on the spendier models.Maybe delta will offer it as an after market item someday who knows? Even still this is a solid system and in my opinion the best you can get for the money. Now get out there, clamp in a fresh blade and enjoy yourself.

Not Good [Posted on 2004-12-14]
I purchase the quickset. I was hope to save time when working on my projects. For some reason it will let go of the blade . That is not the bad part. There are two little spring on the blade chuck. When it let go they go flying ,good luck finding them. I would think twice before you buy this item.The time you save on working on your project is used up looking for the springs. I wish they would come up with some other design.

Falling apart - Poor craftsmanship [Posted on 2005-08-18]
I teach woodworking in a private high school and the students get lots of use from our Delta scroll saws. We are always changing blades or removing the blade from the top chuck to make an interior cut and I just bought two new chucks to make things go easier and my old chucks (which were Quicksets also) were broken anyway. One of the chucks already came apart and is broken and the second one is nothing but problems. I have never had as much trouble as I am having now. I have actually asked to get a Hegner scroll saw that I know I can depend on. I cannot reccommend this item to anyone and feel that they will have a great experience. It seems to be hit or miss with it because I have had better experiences in the past but still not great.

A replacement chuck [Posted on 2008-03-31]
I had to order this replacement chuck for my delta scroll saw. The screw in the chuck broke on mine and was listed as back-ordered until may 2008 on deltas web site. I did not see any improvements to this chuck and will have to see if the screw breaks on this one.
