I do a lot of woodwork, but the scroll saw is too tedious for me.  My wife does intarsia, etc. on the scroll saw and she loves this foot pedal.  I have to be cautious when I use it because it's like walking and chewing gum at the same time!  After a few cuts though it gets easy.  Can't imagine having to use the main switch to turn the saw off every time.  This is the way to go.  I might like the On-Off type better?  But a foot switch nevertheless!
