Oh thank you for for all the help. Cant wait to start scrolling

Thank you. I watched a few videos on the dewalt and was sold but it's impossible to get in Australia and I'd be paying 200+ for shipping from America.

Hi Peter, thanks for replying. I have seen the carbatec 18". Was wondering if it's worth spending the money on it as finding quite hard to find a saw. I either find a cheap ryobi for $129 from bunnings ( which I have been contemplating) or the next price range is the carbatec one. Can I ask where you purchase your saws from? And a good brand of blades available in Australia? I had no idea the scroll saw market was so little here :/.

Thank you for your reply. Yes we are very limited here in Australia. oh well I was looking at a smaller one so maybe I will get a bigger one as wouldn't want to spend the money and not be able to do the projects I want.

Hi, ok sorry if this question has been asked heaps of times, but... as the title says I'm a complete beginner!! im wanting to buy my first scroll saw to do name plaques with script names. Q 1: um So do I need to attach a vaccum to the machine for dust collection? Q 2: how does the dust blower work without a vaccum? Q3: I'm looking at a jet 16" saw, struggling to find any reviews on this model. If anyone has had/used one could you please give me your review? Q 4: I'm open to spending up to around $400, If anyone could suggest a really good quick change blade machine, that doesn't vibrate too much? Thank you all I'm advance looking forward to starting.
