“Difficult-Disappointed”
Craftsman 5" Scroll Saw (21609) —
I bought this for cutting out scroll saw patterns. I don't like how it takes a bit to change blades or insert the top of the blade in a new hole. It is annoying to unscrew and rescrew the blade in every time when most scroll saws have a little lever to just clamp the blade in. Also... using spiral blades is bad (or any skinny plain end blade) because when you twist in the screw, the blade twists too making it brittle and causing it to break quickly. I also don't like how you cannot turn the blade to go the other direction for cutting long stock or big patterns. Yes I am disappointed with it but all in all... when I am patient with the slow blade changing it suits my needs well. I would recommend: Craftsman 18 in. Scroll Saw - 21609 or a DeWalt one but but DeWalt scroll saws can run at $400 Have fun choosingCraftsman 5" Scroll Saw (21609)
