Some of the best years of my life was on inferior saws.Not knowing there was better out there.I had a blast being creative .When i traded some scroll work and intarsias for a dw788 ,I got it home plugged it in and flipped the switch on .Waiting for the noise to start i flipped the switch again.Low an behold the saw was running and silent as could be .I was astonished that a scroll saw could be this quite.The years on cheap saws sure made moving up such a pleasure.I wouldn't have had it any other way.
You sound like me.When little i'd eat the food my mom cooked first and then finish with the good stuff i liked.Same with scrolling ,i'd do all the inside cuts and then the bigger stuff last.
