A friend gave me an older Delta 18" variable speed scroll saw.
I have never used them in my work, so I offered it to a friend who is also a woodworker.
He said he has one already and it's invaluable on those occasions he needs it.
Got me thinking that MAYBE I could use this machine in the future but for the life of me I can't see what I'd use it for. I don't do marquetry, for instance, or other small intricate work.
Is there something this saw is good at that I don't even know?
My work is mostly furniture and built-ins. I make small boxes as gifts, too, but my tastes run more to the simple and unadorned.
Thank you for any opinion you can offer. Mark
