Good, bad?

Any help would be appreciated as this will be my first scroll saw purchase

That's not a lot unlike my first real scroll saw. The bells and whistles are nice (flexidrive good - light less so, if I remember rightly) and the blade clamps weren't up to much but they're usually easily changed anyway.

Is this a new model? I like the addition of a variable speed. Will come in handy if you are new to it. I own a Excalibur EX21 but saw a representative from Scheppach at the FFX show demonstrate the older single speed model and he was able to make some very nice work out of it.

Only had it a few hours and can't put it down.

The air blower aspect of it is a bit naff, find myself giving it a quick puff every now and then. Currently set up to take pin blades. Does come with the clamps for plain blades but haven't messed with that part yet. They are a pain to get through some holes (the pin blades)

Talking of blades where do you guys get yours from? Looking for a selection pack if available

All in all, having a good laugh so far
