Top Scroll Saw Reviews

This is the best selling pro scroll saw and it's a high-end power tool. Blade changes are a snap, as is the initial assembly. Variable speed adjustment, less vibration and noise and superior precision all mark this one out as an awesome woodworkers tool - definitely worth every cent.

All the controls are incredibly user friendly, it's got all the bells and whistles you'll ever need in an industry standard workshop. The design of the parallel link arm is sophisticated, switching speeds is a snap and the directional dust blower is highly effective and promotes efficient output. It's powered by an ample 1.3 amp motor, which runs between 400 and 1750 spm and the price includes a hex wrench plus blades. If you want a Porsche in your workshop - rather than a Prius - the Dewalt is the best model to invest in by a long mile.

This is a Skil scroll saw and will stand you less than 150 bucks for a good quality power tool that delivers the goods. It's pretty simple to set up out the box and comes with two wrenches and two 5" blades. The motor is 1.2 amps, which puts out between 500 and 1700 rpm - ample enough. The throat is 16", which gives decent results on thicker projects.

It tilts 45º and the table surface is pretty decent at 16 x 10". There's an on-board light and dust blower though you're probably better using a separate dust collector. Variable speed, blade switching is a breeze and the whole set up does feel reliable and solid. A nicely put together entry level scroll saw. Nothing to get excited about but more than enough for those with a home workshop or hobby enthusiasts.

This is a mid-priced scroll saw and is a good quality model for hobbyists, toy make, small detailed work and more. In short - it's a pretty adequate all-rounder. It comes with the usual features you can expect from a model of this price - precision quality cuts, low vibration, not overly noisy. User friendly, easy to set up and the dust hoover works pretty good.

It's also able to make a nice job of alternative stock, such as plastics, leather and foam. A 45º angle tilt, a wrench key (included) makes blade changes a simple task and good depth to the throat (15 3/4) are all key factors with this decent enough, well put together woodworking power tool. Good discount, free shipping.

If you want to buy a cheap scroll saw to get started with - this is the best choice in the budget price range. It's fairly lightweight as scroll saws go and nothing about it is difficult to work or set up. You get a variable bevel, up to a 45º angle and reasonably good dust remover. The motor is 1.2 amps and it delivers a nicely rounded 500 to 1700 rpm's.

Included in the price are a pair of blades,holder, guard and a hex wrench. The variable speed control does its job, responsive and easy to control - and it does a surprisingly good job on 3/4" ply, plexiglass and similar. That suggests it's probably a good all rounder - more so if you add a few personal adjustments once you've got it out the box. A decent enough saw for the price, recommended if you're looking to spend less rather than more.

This is as good as it gets when it comes to a mini scroll saw - the Dremel. Strictly speaking, this little powerhouse performs across a broad range of tasks and if you want super-fine precision, simply purchase the appropriate cutting-tool accessory kit. The Dremel does a bit of everything and as it's performance as a mini scroll saw is impressive enough.

It's lightweight and surprisingly capable and the price includes a multitude of attachments, some of which are useful for detailed cutting tasks. What's more, some of the other attachments are related - you can sand down and buff the pieces as they're cut, or line them up and put them through the next stage once you're done with cutting and shaping. It's a super little power tool, worth buying over the more powerful version as this one is both cheaper and just as flexible. Top mini-power tool, performs a variety of tasks and more than affordable. Great craft tool.
