These tiles are 6" X 6". Use them in any creative way you like. Mount them on a larger board and display them as an art piece. Hang them individually as wall accents. Cut them from thick wood and just sit them on a shelf. They could be cut from Corian and made into a 12" X 12" back splash medallion.
Quick Tool-less Blade Alignment Check:
It's important that your blade is squared up at a right angle to the table before you begin to make cuts. It's common to use a machinist square or other right angle gauge to check for square. If you do not have a square available there is a tool-less way to check and adjust the table back to square.
Use a board that is at least 3/4" thick. Cut into the edge of the board about 1/8".
If you see that the blade and the cut are not lined up then adjust the tilt by half the difference and do a second test. When the blade slips easily into the cut from the back then the blade is perfectly aligned to the table.

Delta Power Tools 40-694 20 In. Variable Speed Scroll Saw
Currently $399.00 on Amazon
I believe that the Delta 40-694 is the best bang for the buck buy of a scroll saw today. Are there better scroll saws on the market? Yes. Are there better scroll saws priced at $399.00? I don't think so.
If you have the budget to get past the entry level scroll saw then the Delta 40-694 is a great choice for a mid range saw. This buy does not come with a stand which is unfortunate. That takes away form the value but not enough to make it a bad deal.
