Welcome to the Villige Jes! There are folks on this site that are using entry level saws and are cutting excellent projects with them. But since you asked, I would save a little more cash and se if you can find a used higher end saw. If you go to the general section of the forum, you will see two different posts of members finding great buys on Craig's List. You just might find the buy of a lifetime!

I've learned the big tool company's don't care about what the consumer wants. A few years back I was doing a demo at the Woodcraft store I teach at. It was a woodworking show so all the tool reps were there. The DeWalt rep came up and asked what I thought about the DeWalt saw as that is what I was using. I told him about my concerns. He suggested I speak to the head of the scrollsaw department at DeWalt. He took my Name, phone number and email address. About two months latter, I received an email from the head of the scroll saw division. All it said was " What is wrong with your saw?". I emailed him back that I wanted to talk to him about all the problems with the saw and my thoughts of how to improve it. I got no response. His original email had a phone number on it so I called. Again, no response. I emailed two more times and called several more times with no response. I finally gave up.

Hey Brian, I don't see it as a Christmas decoration, but rather a winter decoration! It's still winter in Pennsylvania isn't it? You can display it till the snow melts!

Here's a picture of my last show. Wolf pattern with wooden feathers. It is a Sue Mey pattern. I sold it for $45.

Hey Stoney, one thing to remember is using reverse tooth blade for thick wood is not recommend. The reverse teeth does not clear the saw dust causing excessive heat and wearing out the blade. The Pegas MG blades are a reverse tooth blade. I like to use FD Polar blades. They have a slight set to the teeth allowing for better saw dust clearing. I have no experience with the FD XL blades.
