Honestly I bought the Harbor Freight Scroll Saw just to see if I would like Scrolling, and while I enjoyed the actual craft, I HATED the blade changing. The blade changing took so long and it was EXACTLY like the WEN. I decided to take the HF one back and I am looking at getting a used Dewalt for $200. I also found a Porter Cable one that looks nice.
I have been scroll sawing for close to 50 years the saws you reviewed are decent saws but for me there’s nothing as good as a parallel arm Scrollsaw such as RBI or Hegner my 1983 Poly Max 3 is still going I have spent less than $100 In repairs I had to try The DeWalt 788 great saw cuts good but in a years work in was in need of a overhaul I enjoy the video but honestly the New Era scroll saws just don’t hold up for the long haul Thanks for the reviews I just had to tell my thoughts
SEVEN best scroll saws? Out of how many? And there are no comparison tables- are we supposed to remember all that data? A choice of three different saws at different price points would be so much more useful.
Have a good look at the Skil, Ryobi, Shop Fox and Wen. The are all basically the same scroll saw with a different paint job. Some have extras like a light, different motor etc. The castings are all basically the same and all made in China. There are many the same by brands not mentioned here . Buyer beware !

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with us.❣
A Wen better than the DeWalt??? Nice joke, buddy !!!
Wen LL2156. That's what I'm (eventually) buying. Not all saws are the same. Pinned blades go on the low end saws. High end is Pegas or Excalibur.
Thanks for the info!
I’ve owned my desalt for well over 30 years with no problems
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Your best saw is a#90 aaw?
один из лучших станков поставили на 7е место😄
7 best scroll saws and leave the pégas and hegner out... no way...
And the spectacular Excalibur...

Good point!
Update cutting width
We will update soon.
Wen’sblade changing is barbaric, compared to the dewalts and dewalts blade holders are way sturdier
The delta saw is a desalt knockoff
Yes, it is.
