I'm seriously considering purchase of the DeWalt 20" scroll saw. I've never owned a "real" scroll saw, and as such I have a very basic question:

Can I turn the blade 90 degrees, installing it so the teeth do not face the operator - but instead face left of right?

Why this question? If the operator can push the workpiece ONLY from front-to-back of the saw, the 20" throat imposes a serious restriction on the size of the workpiece. Turning the blade 90 degrees would enable me to push the work piece perpendicular to the saw frame, allowing much longer work pieces.

Thanks, Tom
