Hello, my name is Tony Cunningham and I am just now beginning the hobby of scrolling. In fact, I have not purchased a saw yet. I have been reading and studying about scrolling now for about 6 weeks and found  this site to be the most useful. I am either going to purchase a Dewalt 788 or a Delta 40-690  saw and any advise would be gratefully appreciated. I am 69 yrs old, so whatever I buy will be my first and last scroll saw. LOL

Hey Tony, Welcome from Southern California. Come on in and join the fun! As far as your saw choice's, Either one will serve you well as they are the same saw, just painted different colors. If you want to go up a level, Go with the Excalibur EX21.  either of the three saws would be my recommendation.

Hi Tony, welcome to the forum, I'm Marg from Australia.  I hope you realize that once you start scrolling you won't be able to stop, it becomes an addiction.  LOL

Hi Tony and welcome to the forum.  Either saw will do you just fine.  They are the same saw.  Order you some decent blades.  Don't buy them from the hardware store.  FD Mike has a variety pack that will be a great start.  The blades really do make a difference in your work.  I'm Julie from Texas.  Glad to have you.

HI, Tony...Welcome from Missouri, USA.

Where do you call home?

The DeWalt or the Delta would be a great choice to start out.
