Best Power Scroll Saws of 2025

"When I purchased this scroll saw, I had no prior experience. However, after some research, I found this model which had great reviews and a reasonable price. It has turned out to be one of my best purchases ever! I’ve spent countless weekends using it and creating projects I love. While I had to learn about blade types, the machine itself is super easy and fun to use!"

"I bought this saw as a gift for my husband. It's his first-ever project using it, and he’s still getting the hang of it. I chose this model because it supports both pinned and pinless blades, which I believe will help him with more intricate cuts. He has found that it cuts really well if you let the blade do the work instead of pushing the material."

"For a beginner, I find this saw easy to handle. I did make some modifications by switching to a toolless blade holder and using bolts instead of wing screws, which greatly improved the grip for pinless blades. I also recommend looking for YouTube tutorials. Overall, this saw is nearly idiot-proof and very safe, even for kids."

"I love the size of this scroll saw for my crafts. It's quiet and easy to set up. I highly recommend getting a foot pedal to enhance its use. Replacing the blade is a breeze."

"After 18 months with my WEN scroll saw, I've tackled hundreds of projects. It’s incredibly powerful and versatile; I’ve crafted everything from puzzles to seasonal decorations. I wish I had trusted WEN sooner—it’s become my favorite tool!"

"I found this saw to be well-built and very easy to use. The low vibration makes it comfortable to operate, and the size is just right. I'm quite happy with my purchase!"

"I waited a while before writing this review to ensure I was proficient with this scroll saw. This saw is worth every penny! The tension knob has numbers, making it easy to maintain the same tension for each blade. Changing blades is a breeze! I barely tighten the knob, and the blade is secure. The blower is effective, and I appreciate its adjustable arm. Although I removed the lower blade guard for convenience, I always turn off the power strip during blade changes. The upper arm’s height adjustment is useful for inside cuts. I'm thrilled with my Dewalt!"

"I've been on the lookout for a decent scroll saw for ten years. My previous saw had its limitations, but the Dewalt is a solid performer with minimal vibration and noise. I love the tension adjuster that works while the machine is running. The generous table size is great too. Although I had to search for the manual, the saw is a joy to use. I highly recommend it over others in this price range!"

"As a beginner scroll sawer, I wanted to enhance my woodworking skills. This saw has a high-quality feel and everything functions smoothly. The lack of unnecessary features makes it an excellent tool. The lifting arm and quick blade removal system are particularly handy for internal cuts. I'm very satisfied with this professional-grade product!"

"For my very first woodworking project, I chose a saddle stand and needed a saw that was easy to use and packed with features. The WEN Variable Speed Scroll Saw did not let me down. As a 74-year-old woman, I appreciate uncomplicated machines. It was simple to set up and I was able to practice a few cuts right away. The operation was smooth and easy, and I could navigate the wood effortlessly with the proper blade tension. Changing blades was a breeze, and I even managed to create a nice curve on the feet design. I'm excited to tackle many more projects!"

"Having just started with scroll sawing, I find this machine better for detail work than my bandsaw. There's definitely a learning curve, but for around $100, it's a fantastic first machine. While changing pinless blades can be a bit tricky, I expected that. The shop vac captures about 90% of the mess, and everything feels quite solid. The tension adjustment is straightforward and the speed control is great. It gets a bit jumpy when cutting 1/2 inch maple, but that might be due to my blade choice. Overall, a solid purchase for this price!"

"I bought this scroll saw a few months ago and finally started using it recently. I hadn’t touched a scroll saw since my high school woodshop days, and it took me a bit to adjust to changing the plain end blades. However, it was a dream to use overall. I had previously purchased a WEN rotary tool and loved it, so I figured I'd give this scroll saw a shot. I can see myself upgrading to a larger WEN model in the future. Their products have consistently impressed me!"

"I was skeptical when I bought this saw, but it's proven to be a beast. It easily cut out patterns on a treated 2x8. Definitely well worth the money!"

"As a first-time scroll saw user, I found this saw to be great. The only downside is that changing blades can be a hassle. Still, it's a solid choice for my intarsia projects."

"I've been doing a lot of DIY woodworking lately in my retirement. I thought about getting a second-hand saw but chose this one due to its high ratings. It's okay, but it feels like it cuts slowly compared to my jigsaw."

"I purchased this for my husband last year for Christmas, and he absolutely loves it. It performs wonderfully, making it a great value. I would certainly buy it again!"

"As a beginner with scroll saws, I find this unit to work well. However, I believe that after some experience, investing in a higher-quality model might be worthwhile. Blade replacement can be a hassle."

"I really enjoy using this scroll saw. The price is fantastic, and it's solidly built. Plus, the quick blade installation feature makes it easy for me."

"As a 74-year-old female leather worker, I found this scroll saw worked beautifully for my project. I was able to cut smooth corners easily, and it clamped securely to my work table. Outstanding price and excellent performance!"

"I was looking for a portable scroll saw that could be disassembled easily due to my small workbench. This saw fit perfectly, and I appreciated the variety of blades it came with. Just remember to cut slowly for the best results!"

"Using this saw for my son's Pinewood Derby car was a great experience. It cut through 1/2" bass wood smoothly, and my son could handle it for larger cuts. The only downside was the mounting clamps didn't fit my table, but it worked well on a countertop."

"I have purchased five WEN machines, and they have all been great. The customer service is outstanding, which is rare these days. I started with the 16" scroll saw, but I needed a larger throat and table, so I upgraded to the 21" model. Wow, did WEN step up their game! It is so quiet and smooth. Changing the pinless blades is super easy—I was initially hesitant about pinless! My cutting is spot on, and I love the huge table. I would have bought this instead of the 16"!"

"After watching Steve Good's review, I decided to buy this saw to replace my old Craftsman. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and it works great! I really appreciate the 21-inch table and the easy blade changes. The doors on both sides make replacing the blade and cleaning sawdust a breeze. Although it lacks a light, I have two adjustable lights that work just fine. Overall, this is a fantastic starter/intermediate saw."

"I was replacing my WEN 16” scroll saw with this one. This new model is huge in comparison and won't fit on a small table. The upper arm lifts up and stays up, which is a great feature. The table bevel adjustment was perfectly aligned, and the vibration is minimal. I noticed that the dust collection port isn't very effective, but that’s a minor issue. I haven't had a problem with blade tension, and I believe the complaints are often due to operator issues. Overall, I’m really pleased with this saw!"

"I bought this scroll saw for my husband, and he absolutely loves it!"

"I think it's a great tool for making shapes and designs on wood. I got it for my father, and he seems happy with it."

"I'm using this saw for scrolling Halloween and Christmas decorations. I'm really enjoying it!"

"I had to reorder my scroll saw because the first one arrived with a hole in the box. Thankfully, the second one was fine. The saw itself is fantastic, with a well-aligned design and minimal vibrations. I appreciate the quality materials used, and although I had to modify the lower blade clamp, it works beautifully. Cutting thicker woods is effortless, and I’m thrilled with my purchase!"

"I find this scroll saw to be incredibly enjoyable to use. With the right blade, it cuts smoothly and has excellent dust collection, which helps with cleanup. However, I wish the lower blade holder was designed better to prevent it from falling out when tension is released. Overall, it’s perfect for my production work, and I can easily spend hours using it!"

"As a newcomer to scrolling, I was drawn to Jet’s reputation. After researching extensively, I opted for this model, and it has not disappointed me. The quality is evident, and the performance is outstanding. I’m still mastering the technique, but I’m thrilled with my decision to invest in this saw."
