What saws do you own - Page 5 - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Bought a Mastercraft from Canadian Tire on sale for $80. Didn't know anything about scrolling when I bought it. Lucky for me it turned out to be variable speed and takes pinned and pinless. Didn't take me long to switch to pinless. Yes it vibrate a lot because also it is not bolted down. I use it on the kitchen table. Wipe down the dust and serve supper!!!
It has a 3 year warrantee which I will last out. I am already planning on buying another one but not sure what I want.
2 years left on the saw.

I have a Dewalt Saw......

I have a 16" Craftsman that I bought 1/2 price for $150 CAN on sale. I read a little and the Craftsman got some good reviews and I certianly couldn't beat the price. It works really great! I know if I continue scrolling that I will probably be moving up to some better equipment, but I can tell you for sure that I will always keep the Craftsman unless it burns out or blows up. I find it really easy to use and set up. My only complaint is the guard, which I have removed, since it really only got in my way.

I got my money back from Canadian Tire on that saw and have since invested in a DeWalt 788. Really happy with it.

No problem Bob. I know that I have a great saw and that's all that matters.

Well I voted already but I didn't list all of my saws. I use the Delta Q3 the most, and the Delta P20 is my second saw. But in the shop I also have the Eclipse, Dewalt, 30" Excalibar, Hegner, Delta 350. Delta 16" VS, RBI, and 2 more spare Q3's. Then up in the showroom I have over 180 antique saws to choose from. Guess I have the most toys, so do I win this one?
