Hi
our scroll saw died and we're looking to replace it, I found a Hawk 226VS on craigslist for 375 . Any thoughts on this saw .
We are non profit and we cut plaques in the shape of a sea turtle for a fundraiser , we need about 300- 500 plaques per year . we have a volunteer who cuts them he likes to use the scroll saw . We had a Hitachi that we have been using and it broke the other day so we are looking to replace it .
we are cutting the plaques out of 1/4 oak ply , stack cut 4-6 at a time .
My thoughts are we can by a DIY /homeowner saw in the 100-200 range and replace every few years or go for better quality
I was also looking at dewalt DW 788 on amazon for 489 if the craigslist saw doesn't pan out
