Yup it is a great machine I got the ex16 since I don't large projects or at least just yet, if was to buy another scroll saw it would be a EX. I love mine, a big step up from the cheap craftsman I had that I started with, which it was a good starter saw to get into the hobby, once I got better I wore that craftsman out, glad I got my EX. I too ordered from seyco, put my order on Jan 1st the following mon I jumping with excitement when ups pulled up.
