Great scroll saw

I've had this saw for about a year with not one problem. Extremely smooth at all speeds. No vibration at all. Easy blade change. With the rear leg extensions, you're right on top of your work. You can put the puffer right on the edge of the blade and it is still out of the way. I would add a foot switch and an upper arm lift. The later keeps you from having to put a block under the arm when changing blades.

I would highly recommend this saw.

Pros

Large table. No vibration. Very versatile

Cons

Pricey
