Not that I have the funds to buy this thing, I don't, but I'm just wondering what your opinions about this particular machine are.. Someday I will upgrade my saw from the Dremel 2 speed so it's nice to know what is and isn't worth the price..
Take a looksee..

The link went straight to the saw mamell. Just one piece of advice, ask them what size blades it uses. You might find that they are very hard to come by.
Having said that, I live in Australia and I have never heard of the brand name before. Maybe others on the forum will be able to enlighten you on the saw and availability of the blades.

AHH.. Good advice Dave.. I wouldn't have thought to ask that..
I'm not in the market yet,but I will be someday in the not to distant future..
I just tied up some money for some 'vintage' number 4 smoothing planes.. I got my hands on a dandy old Stanley and it slices, dices and does the dishes..
Ok, maybe not all that, but it's sweet to be able to plane down a piece of wood without the chatter or tear out.. I just realized it can open a few doors to having the right thickness without having to go try to buy it pre-planed..  I'll never go back to any planes made after 1970..

This is what used to be called a "Jig Saw" back in the fifties.   I used one in Jr High school shop class. It has a spring return, on the blade, so the amount of tension that can be applied to the blade is restricted.  Our modern thin blades require more tension than that saw (in my opinion) can deliver.
