I have had several scroll saws as a beginner which were not very good. I then bought a delta variable saw for £125 from the local hardware shop which was fantastic as changing of the blade was a piece of cake and made the whole thing very enjoyable. The down side was i took on a very complicated...

I normally get a ping so thought i was right.I usually se spiral blades as was told this would be best. I confess to only using ply from the local hardware shop so also looking for something with a better finish. Apart from that i,m ok. Thank you for your reply. Regards Margin

Thanks for the advice, i would agree with all you said. I am suprised at a blade every 30 minutes. Perhaps i am not as bad as i thought.
