I was given one of these to use as a traveling demo/student unit. The manual says that it uses pin end blades only. I've looked it over a bit and I think that it possibly could accept plain end blades as well, but it isn't really well designed for it.
My question for you folks, Is anyone here familiar with this saw? I'm considering a clamp conversion kit from Pozsgai's Designs to upgrade the clamps, but I'm wondering if it's worth it? I'm not trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, just trying to find out of I can reasonably expect this thing to be a serviceable machine to use in a scroll saw class. If anyone could share their experiences, good or bad, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
