DremelF013MS20JB Compact Scroll Saw, 2-in-1 Compact Table Saw and Fretsaw with 1 Attachment and 5 Saw Blades, Blue, 70 W

This is a really neat, well-made and compact little scroll saw, perfect for small scale craft/hobby applications. Take that both as an endorsement and a caveat; it is a good little machine for 'light craft' purposes but if you are doing anything that could be considered heavier use or DIY type applications, probably best to look elsewhere. Comes with a neat carry case which is always welcome, and feels like it will last a good long time.The cuts it makes are nice and clean and there isn't any 'straying' to speak of, which is mostly down to the fact that the blade position is totally fixed. This is a blessing and a curse because it means that there is no way to set the blade sideways, limiting the length of cut to the depth of the saw's throat. This must surely be added in any future revision of this machine!If you haven't used a scroll saw before, please be patient and do not apply excessive force to push the material through the blade - you should let the speed of the blade do the cutting and concentrate on controlling your movement. There is a variable speed control on the device, however you will need to experiment to understand what the best speed is for each type/thickness of material.One of my favourite features - although it is by no means revolutionary - is the vacuum cleaner nozzle. This may sound terribly uninspiring but particularly if you work in your house you will really appreciate it! Simply attach your vacuum hose to the nozzle and run the vacuum while you work, and every little bit of dust created by cutting will be taken away without floating off into the room. Great! The added benefit of this is that you will be able to see very clearly how your cut is progressing, without having to guess what's going on under a little heap of sawdust.The price isn't astronomical, however I do feel there is a definite uplift in cost that is only made possible by the Dremel 'brand halo', such is the level of trust the brand commands. However I can't knock the company for profiting from an excellent reputation - and in a way it would be sad if they couldn't - so no star knocked off for that!A great piece of kit, but more at home in your house than your workshop, if that makes sense!

I needed to cut x120, (2mm x 11mm) notches in 9mm thick OSB and also cut x120 Aluminum (2mm x 11mm) into 20mm long stripsAlthough I could have done it all by using hand tools - it would have taken far too long. I came across this tool thinking it may not be robust enough for the job - but it was on special offer - so why not.The first thing I noticed is the high quality of the build of the main unit - the one thing that lets is down though is the poor quality of the protractor which I gave up using.The table is surprisingly robust and even after completing all the cutting showed little signs of wear.I was able to cut the OSB quickly accurately and straight. The Aluminum was a little trickier but if you use a light oil and let the blade do the work then you can get a straight accurate cut.Changing the blades is easy but switching on / off is awkward. The variable speed works well.Overall a useful tool for doing those fiddly jobs and quite versatile.

I bought this to use for model boat building. Overall it was a good buy and I like the product. It is very easy to set up, clamps very securely, blade change is extremely easy. It cuts wood cleanly and with ease. The big advantage is that it comes with a nice case so after you are done it hardly takes up any space. Setting it up or storing it away takes about 2-3 minutes. It looks very well made and you can connect a vacuum to the underside (very essential otherwise you need constantly to blow away the dust)Now the disadvantages. It makes a bit of noise, not too much but it is not really quiet. There are some vibrations especially with high speed, again not too much and if you use the clamping mechanism it does not affect the cutting. it does not tilt, it cuts only vertically. The mitre guide is too flimsy but then again it does have a crude locking mechanism. The blades are expensive but for my use each will last a long time and I see aftermarket ones appearing.I am very happy with this saw and definitely would buy again. I think that it is good value but only for hobby/modelism, for anything else you need something bigger and more expensive.EDIT: I used the saw to cut a couple of frames. I used an aquarium air pump as a dust extractor and I must say the saw was brilliant. Built quality is excellent as well. Noise and vibrations are not too bothersome.EDIT: I ve been using this for years now. It is good. Not Haegner of course but an excellent buy. Only costed £65 back in 2014!
