Best For craft: general International jigsaw table

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate saw. The general international jigsaw table is exactly that - it's a simple saw that hits all the right notes. This is a true “no tool” blade change, unlike the Hegner and King which require you to “load” blades ahead of time and aren’t really tool less when really changing blades. They carry quite a few parts for the Excalibur scroll saws. The plastic below table prevents small internal cut outs from falling through. The work surface is perfect.

The spacious work surface allows you to cut any material you need. The saw works great, but it makes doing fret work so easy with the lift up head. This restricts wood movement. This saw can use any 5" pinless blade.

Why We Like This:

Easy blade attaching setup and variable speed motor
Ideal for enhanced control and more precise cuts
All controls are within easy arm length range

Best For metal: JET upper arm

Buy on Amazon

Jet has been making great saw for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. The Large 12-7/8" x 23" cast iron table provides a stable working surface. Because the holder is basically a threaded hollow, it bends the end of that blade as you tighten it which lowers the lifespan of the blade. It features slots for pre-loaded blades, and a built-in wrench for changing blades. The included foot switch is momentary, meaning the saw runs only when held down.

The blade guard on the top would not stay still at all. It cuts well and the blade changes are easy.

Exclusive 2-in-1 upper blade change mechanism both clamps and tensions at the same time
Slotted table for easier blade changes
Variable speed range of 400 to 1, 550 strokes per minute
