It depends on the size (length) of the blade & the stroke of the scroll saw. I would want the blade to clear the thickness of the wood by at least 1/4" at the shallowest part of the stroke, because you can risk breaking the blade if it comes up into the depth of the wood as you are pushing it forward. Also I find thicker woods are really hard on scroll saws. Unless your saw has a really heavy duty motor stick to lighter jobs where the scroll saw is concerned.

most only have a max. of about 2" & cut very slow threw thick wood & the harder the wood even more difficult. A scrol saw has a limit to the lenght you can cut a piece too ( has a throat suport.
A band saw can only cut small circle with a tiny blade that mill only cut 3/4" small holes, but will cut a lot faster.

I would think a 4x4 would be the thickest that a scroll saw with a 10 inch cutter could do.
That was the max I could cut when building my deck.

i wouldnt go over a 1/4 inch, remember a scroll saw works in an up and downward motion and the blades are really narrow and thin.
