Hi Everyone,
Great forums you have here, tons of great information and friendly people. Seems to be the only serious forums on the subject that I can find. Anyways, I did scrolling in High School but that was 10+ years ago. I remember some of the basics and want to get back into it. I've been researching saws and it seems I have widdled it down to the 1800 dremel with take off and the Delta SS350LS.
I searched the forums and found a few posts asking about these two but most of the posts went straight to get the Dewalt...that's currently not an option for me and so I ask which of the two above to get...which has less vibaration? To me it would seem the Delta would have less based soley on the fact that it weighs twice as much as the Dremel. I just read a post where JT had said he recommended the SS350 to his brother? cousin? someone and that it was a nice little saw...I have no NEED for the take off on the dremel although I do see where it could be very useful. I am interested in doing some fine fretwork and maybe some small boxes/jigsaw puzzles mainly using 1/4" birch plywood..again, new to it all again so my wood choice is based on what I found locally.
My mother who has done cabinet making etc tells me I should get a hand held orbital jig saw as it offers more control?..but I can't see making the tight near 0 turns with one of those as well as the fact that I'd have to clamp everything down etc...any help/info at all is appreciated..and just so we get this out of the way now..my next saw will be the P20 or Dewalt 788!
PS. JT, nice name, couldn't resist..sorry, although I am a Joe and not a John
