I am contemplating purchasing a scroll saw. Now, I don't do a whole lot of scroll work, and I am not intending to. But there have been several times when I have been making templates with a jigsaw and then refining with files, rifflers, sandpaper, etc. where I have thought it would be much easier to start with a scroll saw and then have less refining work to do.
I don't want to sink $500 or more into the DeWalt for such rare use. I have looked at some of the cheaper ones (Grizzly, ShopFox, Ryobi, etc.), and they look like they will do the job.
So, does anybody have any recommendations? Is one of the lower end saws worth it for this or will they just be an exercise in frustration?
Cheers,
Chris
