 Travis, I assume this saw takes any 5 inch scroll saw balde,,,Right?

[Travis]

As far as I can tell, it takes 5" blades.  so our standard scroll saw blades should work great.

[sullyscroller]

Would that be pinned, straight or both types of blades ?

[LarryEA]

I don't care if it takes pinned and NOW I am sure it takes straight.

I may order today. My Delta is down and this may arrive before the parts for the Delta.

[LarryEA]

I ordered it and will update how well I am able to use it.

I see a future problem that has to be addressed.

Two hands and a saw... need clamp down on scroll piece.

Nice find Travis!

The first link shows photos of various "hold downs" for the fret saw.  Second link shows fret saw in action with a simple holding system.
