I have had it for a year, with heavy use, no problems. This is a great tool. Bought it for $129 at H.D.Contrary to negative reviews, it is smooth, reliable and solid.
Although they repair the things free it is still not worth the hassle and expense of sending it back (two times at $24.00 a pop my expense. said it was the eccentric which makes the arm go up and down. Anyhow, Never again will I buy a Dremel produce. I have sent my Dremel scroll saw back for repairs for the second time--same problem both times. I will sell this one and buy something that will work. All of a sudden it makes a loud hammering sound for no apparent reason. It simply self-destructs. The tech.
Other than that, it's an okay saw. It cuts well, but the drop foot is very annoying. It never stays in place when you cut small pieces.
It says it's 18" deep but it is really 20. The saw blade holder/changer is simple and effective. It's quick as I always have to do interior cuts. Wow. Great saw. It fast and accurate. Is this a good saw. It's easy to use and it rotates 90 degrees for long cuts.
The tool is nice except for one thing. If this saw had a better table insert, I would give it a 5 star rating for a tool in this price point. I own a Dremel 1610 which unfortunately met its fate due to a flooded basement.
This is especially bad when it comes to cutting intricate cuts or small objects. P.S. I was a bit disappointed to see that this model did not include a stand or a light as my 1610 did, but most saws don't, so no big deal.
This is actually a nice tool. It is way too easily bent, and was never really perfectly flat. I did not find the tool to have too much vibration (as a matter of fact, I have been able to do all of my cutting without even clamping the saw down-it is just sitting on a wooden workbench), clumsy blade changes, overly loud, or have any problem with the dust blower as others have stated.
This was my replacement. The table insert is not ridged enough.
