My introduction to the scroll saw was in 1981. I was a freshman in high school and took Carpentry and Woodworking. There were 3-4 scroll saws along a wall. The teacher, due to budget constraints I’m sure, did not buy scroll saw blades. Instead, he cut up broken band saw blades. As you can imagine, the performance was not impressive. I realized the bandsaws performed much better and only used them. Flash forward to 2020, I lose my job to COVID cutbacks and decide to make woodworking a business. I see videos on scroll saws and the rest is history. I purchased a Delta at $342 from Amazon and have now discovered Intarsia.
