The following chart was found in a new book published by Sterling Publishing Co. We felt that the information was very relevant and would be of great benefit to any scroller wishing to purchase or upgrade to a new scrollsaw. The book itself has a great deal of information, and would be a very valuable resource for anyone shopping for a scrollsaw.
