Best Scroll Saw

With an electronic speed controller, the EX-21K scroll saw has the ability to produce 400 to 1550 strokes per minute, allowing it to perform safe and accurate cuts in wood, plastic or metal.

Featuring an original design, unlike other similar models where the table tilts, the whole head of the Excalibur scroll saw tilts 45-degrees to the right or 38-degrees left. This gives you more flexibility while the table provides a secure and stable platform. As an extremely user-friendly device that’s durable in structure as well as performance, we recommend this unit to scroll-saw connoisseurs or the industrious types who need cutting functionality that never disappoints.

As industrious as this scroll saw looks, however, the motor lacks power in comparison with similar models and might not be the best choice if you plan on using it for commercial purposes.

The stable die-cast aluminium table, for instance, has been designed to tilt at a variety of angles to accommodate intricate cuts while drastically reducing vibrations.

Easy to store, set-up, and operate, the Moto-Saw is perfect for amateur scrollers or for those who won’t need to make use of its functionality too often. We do not recommend this model for commercial use, although it might be just what you need to get your small business up and running before moving onto a more durable option.
