First of all, WELCOME.
A great support group here.
Next, I own two Delta 40-694's. One is 20 years old, the other is about 12 years old.
I use them both, I grease them once a year and I would buy Delta 40-694's again.
They are a great middle end saw and they do all I want for my scrolling.
Listen to the others and show us your carvings.
