i bought the 18" craftsman and returned it the same day i got it kept freezing up on me i then read the reviews on it and they to wernt to good the best thing bout the 18 was it came with a foot pedal. so i then ordered the dremel i figured i had pretty good luck with the antique one that i had hey cant go wrong but i was, it has alot of vibration on higher speeds and the upper arm is now squeeking quit a bit especialy after i been cutting for a while but that was all i could afford thinkin dremel has a descent name come to find out they are now dicontinuing the scroll saws. like it was mentioned earlyer ive seen several scroll saws listed on craigslist in the tool section $500 + saws for 2and 3hundred bucks
