When you find one they will need a good cleaning, a motor and some easily replaced bushings but I am beyond happy with mine. Here is a post on mine on another board: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/threads/my-lumber-saw.2155/ The Proxxon and MicroMark saws are nice, but sorely lacking in power if you are cutting down full size lumber or salvaging wood from furniture. | ||
