The table alone weighs over twenty pounds. Milled flat and smooth. a pleasure to work on this big table. The saw is quiet, and no vibration until you crank it up to maximum speed, a speed I'll probably never use. The pin-less blades are a snap to change, and for fret work, one simply loosens the knob at top, and the entire saw arm lifts up, so you can pull your project up and reinsert it in a new starter hole. Tighten a wing nut to connect the top of the blade, adjust the tension lever and you're ready to saw. The blower works better than any of the scroll saws that I've owned or used. The blade tension and speed are adjustable on the top, front of the saw. Both easy to adjust. I highly recommend the DEWALT stand, it takes up little room, following the shape of the saw base. Also a foot switch, which I've used on my scroll saws for years.
