Thread: Looking for a lightweight scroll saw

    Looking for a lightweight scroll saw

    I'm looking for my first scroll saw. This is what is important to me. It will be used on a workbench and be easy to move. I won't be cutting hardwood thicker than 1/2". The blades must be easy to change. I would like to pay less than $300.00. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

    The Wen 3921 I just bought is only 25 pounds.
    Blades aren't easy to change though - according to the reviews. I haven't unpacked mine yet to try it out.

    The Wen 3922 - a model that only uses pinless blades - is the same weight & according to the reviews, it's easier to change the blades on that one.

    I'll suggest to you what Charles Lent suggested to me - try asking at "www.scrollsawvillage.com".

    For a casual scroller it looks like a good choice.

    For most information "Scroll Saw Related" go to www.scrollsawvillage.com. Almost everyone who gets into scroll sawing ends up there sooner or later. It is likely the best knowledge base for everything scroll saw.
