A scroll saw is way better for what we do.
W/a scroll you can make long cuts & also cut out little parts.
The only difference is you can walk away from a band while it cuts,but best hope it cuts where it's spoda.
Just a suggestion,try coating the blade with bee's wax.it'll cut down on the side tracking. Although,you have to coat it every 30 seconds or so.But it makes a HUGE difference in how straight the blade tracks.
Just what I've learned since being in this hobby.

fgd what blades do you like to use on your scroll saw? And is your saw variable speed, and if so what speed do you use when cutting?
