barnja,The P-20 is about $480 U.S. dollars. Depends on how much you are going to use it. The P-20 is a great, heavy weight, industrial type saw. Mick.Last edited by Mick Walker; 05-09-2006, 09:56 AM.Mick, - Delta P-20

You are paying almost double for that saw.
The man who got me started in scrolling swears by it.
I couldn't justify the extra cost for the amount of scrolling I do.
I would have to say, if you can afford it, do it. If not then you will be fine with either of the other choices.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

WOW ! ! . . $480.00 US for a Delta P-20 . That is a great price for that saw . I bought mine when it was $700.00 plus 14% taxes ($798.00) over three years ago. Of course the DeWalt was about the same price at that time because the Canadian dollar was so weak against the US dollar. Now with the Canadian dollar getting stronger by the week it is now worth about 90 ¢ compared to the US dollar. Back then the Canadian dollar was only worth about 68¢ compared to the US dollar.
The gap is narrowing.

by John SmithI've used 1/4 and 1/8" blades from different sources with good results. I use carbon fiber blade blocks so I can put the blade in the middle of the blocks. You have to "tune" the blade for your specific saw. Several videos on YouTube on how to tune band saw blades.

by Quartz43Very interesting and well done projects. I have not tried a 1/8" blade but think I will. Can you tell us the brand of blade, tooth count and what bandsaw you are using. Sorry to be asking so many questions but you have the knowledge. Also, any tips for using that small of a blade.

by John Smiththanks Carole. I used the band saw with a 1/8" blade - not much different than the scroller but I have to use other methods to do the insides of the letters where the band saw can't reach. All the while, WISHING I had a scroll saw. and now, that I've got one, I'll be venturing back into dimensional...Yesterday, 07:21 PM

by handibunnyVery impressive work, John. I like the tooled leather look, the detailed calligraphy, and especially the rendition of the brushes and other tools that you use for your craft. It will be interesting to see how you incorporate the scroll saw into your work, and the opportunities it provides you.Yesterday, 06:31 PM
