Looking for good scrollsaw

[PeaceGirl]

For several months I've been reading about scrollsaws, reviewed some info online, and purchased magazines, looking for one I thought would be good for me. I am too confused to decide on my own, so I signed up for this website hoping someone could give good advice. I have never used a scrollsaw, but I want to set one up and hopefully do a few projects this winter. Any advice would be appreciated.



I moved your thread to a more appropriate forum to maximize traffic and get you more responses to your request/question.

I started with the Porter Cable saw that is sold a Lowes for less than 200 dollars.
I still have it but purchased a used RBI Hawk and am VERY happy I did. If you can afford 400 for a used one you will be in scroll saw paradise. Look on Craig's for scroll saws and places like that.
Good fortune to you in your quest.
