 Wish I had goften something else, now. January 13, 2008
I received the saw for a retirement present, and it was a while before I had my shop organized. I had never owned a scroll saw before, so was unaware of how it should sound, or work. Noisy, vibration, and plain end blades are impossible to keep tight. Will not cut square, despite squaring the table and blade. Warranty is expired, so I will replace it, hopefully, soon.
My next saw will definitely not be a Dremel, and from what I read, the DeWalt may not be such a good deal either, being built in the Orient.
Word to the wise. Do not buy a scroll saw without having a hands on session.
 Very good "between cheap and expensive" saw January 12, 2007

I have owned this saw for a year now and have probably 40 or 50 hours scrolling on it-- and I have to say it is a very good saw- IF YOU TILT THE TABLE TO CHANGE BLADES!
Pros-
Light
Blower
Good variable speed
all except tension release is in the front
Cons-
Blade tension release is in back
some vibration
difficult blade change unless you tilt table
some motor bog down (strangely both when under load and not)
I recently found out about tilting the table all the way to the right to allow access to the blade attachment knob on the bottom-- this greatly eases blade changes!
Thanks for taking the time to read this review, overall this is a great saw, nicer then the ryobis,craftsmans,and delta but nowhere near the dewalt or excaliburs.

This is a well built saw. It has a nice large table and the work light is a big plus. It does seem to have a little bit more vibration than some other saws. It should be attached to a heave work bench or stand with a rubber pad beneath it. This helps reduce the vibration a good deal but not totally.

Overall works fairly well but the hole in the center is too big for any fine detail work on small pieces. The lamp is inadequate and very difficult to replace. Cuts well, works well for most projects.

I purchased a display model of this tool from HD. It was missing the blower hose. I called Dremel and asked for one and received it in a week. This is a great company to work with. I have used the saw for many hobby projects. The dust port works great with an adapter to your shop vaccuum or dust collection system. The saw is very powerful and smooth. I have used it to cut very hard woods like Purpleheart. The light, blower, variable speed and dust port make this a very nice saw. I wished the saw had a better way of storing the blades. I have seen tube storage on the sides of other more expensive models and wished this had them. I like this tool better than the Delta model. Blade changes are very easy with the little pins on them. Having this model with the sander on the side would probably be very nice.
