I borrowed this machine from a friend after my dremel had died( 5 long years of work 2nd hand). Much to my dismay this machine wouldn't hold onto a 1/32" blade. I don't know if it was a defect with this particular model but the lower blade mount just couldn't grab onto it. It was very hard to access the mount as well, and it needs to be tightened with an allan key instead of by hand. Whenever i started it up it would pop right off. What kind of a scroll saw cant hold a 1/32" blade? Rhetorical question a useless one.

Good build quality. Saw is heavy,stable and easy to work on. Instructions are skimpy and difficult to follow, but set-up and adjustments are straightforward.

I'm a big fan of Proxxon tools. They really make some nice, quiet preforming tools. Now this tool is ok for a scroll saw (kinda a quirky tool at best), it's quiet well made and does the job. But, I was really surprised to see that the saw was made in China! The only complaint I have is part of the reason I'm willing to pay more for Proxxon tools is to keep people like me (those living in Capitalist countries, paying Capitalist style bills) employed in skilled factory work. With this particular offering from Proxxon, although well made, all I feel like I did was buy just another subsidized ChiCom product, that undercuts workers in the West just to benifet some corporate bottom line. Not really appreciated by me Proxxon, please don't copy American business practices, your quality and economy will end up suffering!
