Hey Rob, Welcome to the village, the best forum on the web, sorry bout your accident, i am also disabled, been so for about 3-4 yrs now. I have a craftsman 16 inch scroll, works well, good saw to start with, I hear good things about the dewalt, $$$$ there. i started out with a Ryobi from home depot, had to take it back 3 times to exchange cause of parts missing, or the blade holder screw would break, i would suggest not to go with Ryobi for a scroll saw, my opinion tho.
Any ways welcome, have a ?? just ask, great folks in here.
