I use this saw pretty much on a daily basis. I do a lot of scrolling and I've had this saw since mid Feb and it is still going strong. I hope it will last for many years to come. My Shop Fox died after 6 months! The packaging was wonderful and there was a warning on top of the saw that tells not to try to lift it out of the box by the arm of the saw. Every thing was there and all I had to do was attach the table and then  blade and put a hunk of scrap wood on it and then went on to scroll!
