The 5 Best standing Scroll saws (2023 reviews)

Dewalt has been making great saw for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and high-end materials. The ability to feed fret cuts, inside cuts, from either the top or bottom is a time saving feature that pays for it in no time at all. The DW788 can handle soft and hard wood with ease, up to 2", and the speed adjustment is easy to adjust while your cutting. It provides excellent material support and has the ability to bevel to both the left and right. The blower is powerful and clears away the dust.

The Power and speed controls are up on top and easy to use. The wing clamps hold the blade by hand tightening alone. The Dewalt is a smooth operating saw and easy to use. It has a very large and heavy table that keeps the vibration down while providing a stable work surface when cutting at the far end of a project.

Heavy duty and easy to use
Smooth and nearly vibration free at all speeds
Very quiet, minimal vibration, reliable, and more than enough power
The ability to swing the arm up to thread the blade into large pieces

Best For metal: JET standing Scroll Saw

Buy on Amazon

If you often find yourself scrambling for appropriate and satisfactory saw, jet standing scroll saw should be your first option for buying. 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. The Blades can be positioned on either the right or left side of the machine.

Why We Like This:

Conveniently operate your jet scroll saw with this convenient foot switch
Slotted table for easier blade changes
Variable speed range of 400 to 1, 550 strokes per minute
Exclusive 2-in-1 upper blade change mechanism both clamps and tensions at the same time
