Default RE: Band Saw or Scroll Saw

Thanks Bruce, I've pretty much decided to go with a band saw. I'm gonna keep my eyes open at auctions for a "good ole" used one. We have a weekly auction here. Hopefully I can find one there. I expect I'll use it as much for general woodworking as I will model building. Probably about a 50/50 mix.

I received a post on a different thread about using the band saw for models. Seems it will cut the radius I need. I may however take some more time and add some cash to it and go for a better saw. Unless of course something pops up locally at an auction.

I do agree with you if I were purely using it to build models the scroll saw would be the way to go. But like I said it will probably be 50/50 for me right now.

Thanks!
