Looking to buy a scroll saw and wanted to know the quality difference between Craftsman, Riobi, Delta, and Black and decker?? All around the same price.

well craftsman and black decker come from the same place...



I've got a bunch of the ryobi's they aren't bad, if you are going to be using them to make a living you might want to look at porter cable, milwaki, etc...

best stuff is bosch. You can't get better than Bosch. With that said they cost mucho dollars. I prefer Mikita myself. But all my tools are no name worse than black and decker tools. I improvise a lot.

I plan on mostly cutting wood. I am an architecture major in college and it would come in handy on alot of my projects.
