chkorte Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I just got my new (to me) scroll saw up and running. I found an RBI 226VS on Craigs list and bought it for $300. It came with 9 blade holders and about 60 or 70 dozen assorted blades and a foot switch. My son helped me put it together. I put the wheelchair legs from my 216VS on it and my son got to take the 216VS home. It looks like it was hardly used. Cuts a lot like my 216VS did but seems to be a little smoother.I really like the quick release lever up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Congratulations on the new saw! I hear a lot of folks find some killer deals on Craigslist. I'll have to keep my eye on it more. Sounds like you got a great saw, and your son will have his own to feed the addiction. I can't wait to see your first project from your new saw!
