Going to look at one tomorrow. Type 1 - don't know the birth year. My research says these are a pretty good saw. See it actually being rated #1 in some reviews. What say you scrollers? Tips?
Thanks,
Doug

I took a look at the saw today and gave it a test drive. I was impressed with how smooth and quiet it sounded and it seemed to cut the sample pieces of scrap I had brought along, with ease and no burning. The seller also included what looks like a complete set of Dewalt blades of different sizes and thickness, along with the original owner's manual. Saw also came with Dewalt light and stand.
Mind you, this was the first time I've ever operated a scroll saw. I have a future project planned for our home that will involve quite a bit of scroll sawing. This was pretty much an impulse buy for me. I was cruising through local Craigslist ads yesterday, actually looking for another tool, when I saw this one for sale at a bargain price. Turned out it was a "don't want" seller - saw came home with me - a win-win. Hopefully it holds up - we'll see.
