scroll saw recommendation

Would like some recommendations for a scroll saw.
Will be used only occasionally when needed. So will not see any heavy use.
Would perfer a model that does NOT use the pin type of blades.

I use a delta shopmaster, and I'm very happy with it - ~200$ with
stand - they make 2 - you want the better one - I forget the model #.

P.S> use PGT blades

What's the reason for not wanting the pin end blades? In my
experience, the pin-less blades tends to pop out of the clamp when
under a heavy load.

Excellent resource - the comments on saws not evaluated for the article are
a treasure-trove.

Thanks.

Since it will be used only occasionally, something under say $300.00.

Don't remember where, but read someplace that you could use smaller blades
with pin-less thus cut sharper corners.

I found scroll saws to have a wide range of prices with the upper ones
well over $1000. What range are you looking?

I second the DeWalt. I have one and love it. I got mine used for $250
and it works great.
