Looks like it takes 3"  blades...  Probably not a scroll saw.

It's worth its weight in scrap metal.

Okay thank you for that info. Guess I will sit tight. And wait.

It's got to take pinned blades too.

So......did you ever buy it ? I've been waiting 10 years for an update so I can figure out if i wanna buy this other one I've had my eye on.

I need 3" pinned blades.....& I think there is some red guide or throat or somethings missing & the chances of ever finding that....., ain't happenin.

Run for the hills. That is not the saw you want. Try to find a good used Dewalt. There are many out there.

That's very similar to the saw I started with, and although you can get the 3" blades I would not recommend this saw and especially at that price, way too much money for what you'd be getting.

LOL no I did not buy it …….I ended up buying a EX 21 and wore  that  out . Now I am on the fence of dropping $400 dollars or just buying a new grizzly. Yes I changed my screen name from  Kardar2 to Ohio piper LOL see my last post on re building a EX 21 LOL
