I purchased this saw to use as a small quiet "scroll saw" for cutting out small parts for model ships. I have a full size Hegner, so I know what a top of the line scroll saw "feels" like. This saw is *not* a Hegner. If you accept that, and and use this saw for light duty precise sawing it seems to be a great little saw. I attempted to saw a 5/8ths piece of pine, and while the saw will cut it without stalling, it is very difficult to cut straight precise lines. Working with 1/4 inch basswood, the saw is pretty precise and cuts without effort. The result was straight enough that after a quick buff with sandpaper I had a very good glue joint.
It is quiet (about as loud as a sewing machine) and clamped in its "table" the vibration is minimal (for s scroll saw). Out of the box, the table is flat and the blade is perpendicular to the table surface resulting in a nice square cut. Clamp it to a sturdy table top and you are ready to go in minutes. Changing blades is very easy, but the blade tension is not adjustable. It only takes pinned blades so forget using jeweler's saw blades or pin-less scroll saw blades.
The on/off switch is a bit stiff, and when the saw is mounted in the table I find it uncomfortable to turn on and off. I really think this unit should be used with a simple on/off foot switch (dead man switch).
I have used this saw for two and a half years and it still works great.
