I am looking at purchasing a Scroll Saw in the next couple of days. I
have reviewed a couple of books, (Nelson and Spielman, as well as the
most recent Workbench review of scroll saws.) I have noted the key
features such as blade changing, bevel tilt on both sides versus one,
not using pinned blades, etc. Here is where I am at: I am looking
for a good basic Scroll Saw for at most $250. I an not going to do a
great deal of Fret Woork. I need to make some Pinewood Derby Cars,
basic holiday cutouts, such as described in the December 2002 issue of
Wood Magazine, etc. I hope to let my son "break into" woodworking
with this tool.

IMO it's hard to beat the Dremel scroll saw at Lowe's. We paid around $140
IIRC, and both SWMBO and our 12-year-old son have produced some very nice work
with it.
