I want one SO badly! It's seriously the one thing DH won't let me buy (well he won't let me have a jigsaw either). I just don't think he believes I'm serious about it. After this MD, though, I may just have to toss my own veto power over his override.
SERIOUSLY- ridiculous. He NEVER tells me "no". NEVER. Until I want powertools.
Can't comment about other brands of scroll saw but wanted to say that I do have a DeWalt and am very happy with the quality. I would suggest purchasing reverse blades (love them!)from the flying dutchman (http://flyingdutchmanscrollsawblades.com/) because the blades offered in home depot and lowes just don't cut it.
