I have been using the scroll saw daily since I received it about a month ago.  Even though it's a "Type 2", it seems to be working just fine.  I had to tip the table a degree or so to get it to be perpendicular to the blade.  No big deal, I just changed the angle indicator to 0 degrees once the blade was perpendicular to the table.  I thought the price at $455 with free shipping was the best deal around until I found the saw plus table and light for $50 more somewhere else.  Oh well, I'm pretty sure that's one of Murphy's laws.
