Ryobi SC165VS 16" Scroll Saw w/ Manual, Blades & OEM T-Handle Tool

Offered here is a Ryobi SC165VS 16" Variable-Speed Scroll Saw, a proven bench tool designed for precision cutting in wood and plastic. This model features a 550–1650 SPM variable-speed range, a 16" throat depth, a cast-aluminum 16" table, and a 0–45° left tilt with integrated angle gauge. The parallel-arm design provides smooth, controlled strokes, while the built-in dust port and clear air-blower tube help maintain visibility at the cut line. The saw includes the adjustable hold-down foot, upper quick-release blade lever, and lower clamp assembly as originally equipped.

This package includes the OEM Ryobi T-handle hex wrench (factory-sealed), required for blade clamp adjustments, plus two new packs of Ryobi A28SC51 5" pinned scroll saw blades (20 TPI), totaling eight blades. The original SC165VS operator’s manual is also included. Fully equipped and ready for detailed fretwork, pattern cutting, and fine craft applications.

CONDITION

In good overall condition with operational components and typical cosmetic wear from normal use. Table surface shows light scuffing, and the base and housing have minor marks that do not affect performance. Power cord, switches, blower tube, table-tilt mechanism, blade clamps, and tension controls appear intact. Both blade packs and the OEM T-handle tool remain sealed. See all photos for complete visual reference.
