I didn't know how to use a scroll saw when I made this purchase, but I wanted to get the finished results of a scroll saw project. I did some research and purchased this machine because it had great reviews and was a reasonable price. This is, quite literally, one of the best purchases I have ever made.
For months now I have spent weekends using the saw and producing projects that I love. I have had to learn about blades in order to use the machine, but that's it. It's so easy to use and super fun!
Some opinions about other reviews:
Vibration: I understand what people are saying about vibration, however, there are holes in the machine to screw it down to a work bench or mobile scroll saw stand if necessary. That being said, I only use mine at medium speed and there is no vibration at all. Additionally, there is a moveable arm right next to the blade of the unit that allows adjustments for the height of the wood. Keeping this flush against your product is very helpful for stability.
Light: I agree, the light isn't very helpful. If it was mounted in a way so it could swing to the left or right side and if it was a bit longer it would be awesome!!! Sadly, it's not the case and I don't use it.
Blower/vacuum tube: Yeah, I am not sure if mine came bent or if that's how it is supposed to look, regardless, it's also a pointless attachment.
ShopVac hookup: Works great! Honestly though, unless you are working in a completely clean environment or cutting MDF (or other heavy sawdust wood) It's not needed. Just tip the machine forward when you finish your project and clean up saw dust from there.
Blade type: Pin and pinless can be used with this machine. Both work great!
I love this thing. I would say buy it if you are at all thinking about it and enjoy! You will have to have some patience at the beginning to learn how to cut straight, but it is pretty much a sewing machine that cuts wood. Just take your time, dedicate yourself and soon you too can be a scroll saw pro. Enjoy!!!
