2013 Woodworking and Crafts Scroll Saw Buyers Guide.

I receive a lot of emails asking my opinion about which scroll saw is best. The answer is that it depends on what your needs are. Luckily Bob, over at Scroll Woodworking and Crafts magazine has done all the research you need to answer the question. His 2013 edition of this article is available at this link. 2013 Scroll Saw Buyers Guide.

Bob lists the three Editors Choice picks for different price ranges. His picks for under $200 and $200 to $600 are solid picks. The over $600 selection gets really tough but his choice of the Excalibur EX21 won't get too much argument from me. If you are just getting started in the hobby this is an invaluable aid for making you first purchase. If you are looking to upgrade it lets you compare you choices in one convenient location. Check it out.

You might also want to consider a subscription to the magazine. The magazine is first class and put together by people who care about the hobby.  Nice people also.
