I am thinking of buying a scroll saw. What would any of you
recommend, as far as best quality/low price.
I know there are high priced saws, but I want to stay within
my meager budget.

Thanks,
Smitty

Most bang for the buck is the DeWalt but it is not the least expensive.
I had the small Delta VS 16" for many years and you can do good work it
but it does vibrate and the blade change setup is less than ideal
for fret work. I believe the model # for that saw was 40-560 and that
it has ben discontinued and replaced with a similar sized, hopefully
improved model. I have not used one but Dremel makes 2 models that look
pretty good, I believe one is 18" with a small disk sander built in.
IIRC it's in the $250 range. The other is comparable to the 16" Delta
and in the same price range.
