Hello, I am new to scrolling and purchased this saw to get me started. I've been an avid woodowkrer for the past 15 years. I mostly purchased this saw for the price point and also because it comes with a 3 year warranty from porter cable. For what this saw is (an entry-level beginner saw) it seems to be good and works for me. If I find I enjoy scrolling enough I will most likely purchase the new Jet 22" scroll saw.

Welcome fellow Washingtonian. From just north of Seattle. Cheers, Alex

I purchased a Porter Cable scroll saw and took it back the very next day. The motor would cut out when turning the variable speed control knob. It seemed like a nice saw, but for a tool to have this issue right out of the box and even after running for about 2 hours scrolling is a no go in my book. I did look at the Wen model as I am just starting out scrolling, but the lack of local stores carrying the Wen saw and not being able to see it first hand led me to the PC. Now I am looking at jumping in with both feet and purchasing the newer Jet scroll saw. I would do the Dewalt, but they're made by the same company as Porter Cable. Cheers, Alex
