It's a solid saw with cast iron table and frame you can adjust the stroke from 10 to 20mm, it's a hegner clone so the quick change hegner clamps fits straight on it has a 120 wat induction motor, the only draw back is being trade rated it has a emergency stop button that has to be fitted when they supply them to schools,business and so on, runs smooth with no vibration. I've had a few scroll saws but this one is a joy to use, but remember the saw is only as good has your blades so get quality.........Paul
