Grizzly Industrial - Scroll Saw G0537
This scroll saw from Grizzley features a 21-7/8-in. throat depth and a variable-speed motor.
Jun 01, 2005
With the average woodworker in mind, the author tested five midrange scroll saws with throat depths between 18 in. and 22 in. He put the machines through a variety of tasks, and all made acceptable cuts. The author evaluated the saws in four areas: ease of tensioning and changing the blade, ability to change speeds quickly, stroke length (longer is better), and stability of the table and upper arm. The Grizzly, by far the least expensive model tested, gave a lackluster performance in most areas.
