Is this any good and where could I get blades for this? it takes 1/4"x62 long by .025? Or would I have to buy a 100 foot spool for $300 and make my own???

Yeah, its 80 bucks more but the small motor on the one you mentioned "just won't cut it". I have seen the saw above for $149 on sale.

Ok. I saw the bigger one last summer and was considering it for cutting stuff. With the smaller one, it would be more portable and easier to store as my space is very limited.

Bought 1 set one up sent 1 back. If its the same 1 it has plastic wheels and tracking is almost non-existent.y7ou could stall the motor with very little pressure.
Have you ever tried to re-pack 1 of those things.
Go with the 1 CL recomennds .
MY 2 cents
Take Care

I have both, the 12" with a scroll saw blade is excellent for cutting out slabs & the metal one work well for profiling.
