Thanks all who responded, I'm looking forward to learning all I can about scrolling and interacting with the community. Update since first post. I have purchased the Craftsman 16" variable and cut out 2 circles of the letters I will be using, just the outside. It certainly looks a lot easier than it is. Looks like it's going to take a lot of practice. I am using the pin blade at this point to make the cuts but will probably try some of the other blades that I purchased. Not exactly sure I have the tension set tight enough cause blade wants to bend quite a bit and the edges are not very straight, more rippled. Course I am barely able to move wood at this point trying to stay on the lines. Figure I will practice more on outside before I attempt to making sharpe curves inside. Also have started the Inkscape tutorials, thanks for all your help.
