Walker Turner Scroll Saw

[CrotalusAtrox]

Found this at an auction runs fantastic. It was super clean just used a little simple green to get some of the grease and dust off. It has that original vintage switch located under the table. Those things are like finding unicorn tears.

Looks good, buddy. I still think you should keep it.

I have a Craftsman-branded version of that, probably about the same vintage, and the same dark blue color. Those are nice smooth machines.

Looks very nice. In the photo of the Walker-Turner tag, there are four small holes in the body of the saw that would indicate there used to be another tag there...I wonder what it was, maybe a tag for the company that sold it?

Of all the home woodworking machines in the known world, the frame of the Walker-Turner scroll saw is the most overbuilt piece I've ever seen. The actuating mechanism is just above average, but the frame could be repurposed as a small derrick. I keep mine around just because it is what it is.

I was wondering the same thing maybe a municipal ID or School they loved to ID and inventory their equipment.

I am restoring one of these currently.
Found the legs/table for sale and when I went to buy he asked if I wanted the saw too, then tossed a motor in for nothing.

As mentioned, very stout machines. Not as convenient as modern ones, but I'm hoping it will be a machine my boys (1.5, 4.5 & 6 yrs old) will be able to play with (under a watchful eye) and possibly take interest in more shop "toys".


Yours looks mint.
