I bought one of mine from Woodcraft and one from Seyco.  Both sales were fine, but Ray at Seyco definitely knows more about them than probably all the guys at Woodcraft combined.

When considering the different sizes, keep in mind that the strokes per minute count on the smaller saw is less than the larger one.  The 16" ranges from 400-1400 SPM, while the larger ones are 400-1550.  Still not as fast as the Dewalt at 1750 max.

If you do smaller work, the 16" can be a good size.  Since most of what I do is either ornaments, in 4 X 8 " blanks, or wine glass caddies in 12 " blanks, it works fine.

I bought my EX-21 from Seyco.  Most of the advice on the various scrolling forums recommended buying from Ray.  He takes the time to set the saw up properly, so that it's ready to use right out of the box.  Apparently not all vendors do this.

I have purchased two Ex21's from Ray @ Seyco and could not be more pleased with his service and knowledge. Probably most new saws have to be fine tuned to your liking and Ray can instruct you over the phone. Most problems with scroll saws can be solved by the owner and Ray will do his best to guide you in solving that problem without having to pay all those shipping charges. That being said, an Excalibur, especially from Seyco, is ready to use out of the box and like I have already stated, I have purchased two from Ray in the last 5 years and other than replacing set screws that hold the blades, have never had a problem.

My new EX30 is being delivered tomorrow morning and I`m looking forward to trying out the large table, main reason for buying the EX30 is for my large Intarsia projects so fingers crossed its a good saw. They are badged Axminster EX30 here in the UK is Seyco still selling them there labelled as Excalibur?
Cheers

I don't know who is carrying this in the USA but recently I got emails on a new saw called Excelsior.  I can only see at Canadian dealers.  The one listed below is $999 Canadian $.  I read that King Canada is the importer.  Hopefully, it is a good replacement as I love my Ex-21.

Also, Jet not available in Canada.

I have been trying out my new EX30 and first impression is its a lovely saw, built like a tank and as big as a aircraft carrier! it will be very useful for the big intarsias.
I have cut some 40mm thick Beech today for a Welsh Dragon design and amazed that I only had to fit the blade and it was set up perfect so straight to work with it. I had expected to fine tune it but I will leave it alone for now and see how it goes.
The only thing I am not too keen on is fitting the blades as its quite different to my other Axminster Trade saw that has Hegner style blade clamps.... the EX30 has the thumb screw, the top is ok but trying to find the hole underneath will take some practice.
What I would like on a scrollsaw is better dust extraction and a built in flexible light surely there is the technology today to incorporate them into all scrollsaws?
