Thats how those scroll mate saws from ps wood are. Simple, built likr a tank, effective, low low maintenance, powerful, reliable, backed with customer service and affordable parts on hand. And a 1 inch stroke that also provides full control at any speed. But you must have the stand as the motor is mounted below. I am gonna stop by advanced machinery next week and look at some Hegner saws. Its on my way. Its gonna be my giant ball of yarn stop. Im very excited about it.
