Hello, new to woodworking!

I finally got a scroll saw to make wooden toys for my kids. I've been wanting to since last Christmas and this year I decided to just go for it. I love it! I've made a bunch of shapes, just need to sand them. But I have some questions about scroll saws because I'm not sure if I should get a more expensive one instead. Now to go ask my questions!

Hi Rachel and welcome to the Village.

What model saw do you have now? If your saw if variable speed and accepts pinless blades, then basically that's all you really need. But if you are just making toys you can probably get away with a pinned saw.

I started out on a single speed, pinned blade saw and it was good enough for me to see that I enjoy scrolling and I then later updated to saw to a better one.

Anyway I hope this helps with your questions.

Welcome rachael.The more creature comforts you have on your scroll the more you'll love it.I would say the 500 dollar ones and up would treat you kindly.I've used the 200 and less one s for years and had a ball every day,when i got a nice saw i wonderd how i put up with all the rest.lolThanks for joining
