Carba-Tec scroll saws

Thanks Keju

The problem I have with my Dremel,
Only uses pinned blades.
The table is just pressed steel, as I think my dremel is a real hobby version. It's so light you can pick it up with one hand.
The table you can easily flex, just from the way it is made and mounted.

So I want to update, and the TruPro is in the righ price range. I did see the Hegner in Action at the Melbourne word working show in Oct 2006. Almost bought one, but somehow got detoured into getting a Gifkins dovetail jig, which is still in the box.
Would have had much more use on the saw,
But the TruPro looks good.

Thanks for comments.

I've never saw the dremel in person, but from what you tell me I have to agree with you.... doesn't sound like a "real" tool.

Been looking into the Proxxon.... same price range as the trupro/wms...... looks good... but again.... don't think I'd buy any saw until I had the chance to see it in person and try it out. Have to change blades a few times to see how the quick changes works, cut through different thicknesses timber to see vibration etc...

Harris Traders has some, but it would be asking a lot to have them bring it to the Albury/Wodonga Scroll Saw weekend in August..... I know their trailer is already always full to bursting.
So if anyone out there reads this and is the proud owner of one.... any feedback would be appreciated very much.
