If you could only own one scroll saw, which one would you pick?

Please post your preference if you choose "other".

I said other, because I really like the Eclipse. But, I am 100% satisfied with my Dewalt, so if thats the only one I'll have, im still smiling! Dale

I vote for the DeWalt 788..I haven't tried many other brands, but mine works well for me. The price is good and I've had no problems with my saw..it's 8 yrs old.

I vote for the Hawk G-4...
only because I have one and it sure beats that old 20 inch beast of a Craftsman that I have sitting in the closet....

I had to go with other. I use the Delta Q-3 40-650. I have not tried any of the others but so far this one has done me well for 16 years of service. Steve

I love my DeWalt 788 and have no need or desire to try any other.

I had to go with other as well. I wouldn't trade my EX-30 for anything currently on the market.

I voted on the DeWalt788. I really like mine. I suppose if someone were to give me a Hawk.....

I voted for the Excalibur, but to be honest with you I have had it only a few weeks. Let me beat it up some more, see how it works when it gets some miles on it.
