Scottish newbie - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Just a polite hullo. and of course a query .
I'm passed my sell buy date and enjoy my retiral, freedom. I recommend it to the younger members.

I use a scroll saw on occasion but have been think of replacing the cheapo I have.

Carving is my real interest. When cutting out the silhouette I'd like to use a bench scroll saw. I'd need a saw which would make a 3" cut. .

Anyone do this, any suggestions on brand and model.
Thanks

G'day Aulddiy,
Welcome to a wonderful group of people.
As Evie said, I don't know of a scroll saw that cuts much over 2", others may do.
My suggestion would be a band saw, reasonable quality that you could use blades as thin as 1/8".
