HI ALL TRYING TO FIND OUT IF ANYONE HAS HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TYPE OF SCROLL SAW LOOKING FOR ONE SINCE I THREW OUT MY 35YEAR OLD ONE AND KNOW I BROKE A BLADE ON MY BAND SAW, SO ALL I HAVE IS MY DREMEL MOTO-SAW, WORKS OK BUT JUST BARELY, SO I FOUND THE ROCKWELL BLADE RUNNER SEEMS LIKE A GOOD ONE, SO ASKING IF ANY ONE HAS ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS . GOD BLESS STAY SAFEDon
 
I had one, and it is, to be kind, imprecise. It uses saber saw blades which have a wide kerf and despite the overarm, the blade wanders a lot. I tried to mill down lumber to model size and it was not very good at that, and was worse at trying to make a scroll saw like cut. It's cheap and would work as a seldom used table saw replacement. Just check craigslist for a used, good quality scrollsaw. Get the heaviest one you can move.
