Scrappile Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 Welcome Gary, glad you are joining us. The RBI has has been around for a long time and there are several owners here. If you can post pictures of the one you are contemplating, it would help. There are some real good ones, some not quite so good. I have never had the privilege of using one, so I cannot advise.

meflick Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Like the others, I have no knowledge on the RBI saws. I also checked the Scroll Saw Reviews Subsection of the Village under the "Resources" tab and did not see any reviews there for the RBI. You can find the ones that are listed there by going here: https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/scroll-saw-reviews/?d=5 Perhaps someone who does will come on and be able to reply sooner then later. Then, perhaps they or you once you have it purchased and used for a bit, can add a review there. However, I did want to welcome you to the Village.

Rockytime Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 First of all welcome to the Village. Lots of help for you here. I am am the happy possessor of a rbi 220vs Ultra. A very high end machine. I found mine on craig's list. Can you post the ad so we can see what you are looking at as well as the price? It's important to get the serial number. The numbers are posted on the rbi website and will tell you how old the machine is. Hopefully it is a good one and the price is right.

ScottRT Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) roofner, buddy, when I've started doing it day by day - the spinal pain became extra annoying and I couldn't do it anymore. That's why I went to my doctor and he gave me a lot of advises, including doing some home exercises and workout, you know. My friends helped me to get an inversion table, exactly model called ironman (can be found here: https://cozyhousetoday.com/best-ironman-inversion-tables-reviews/), cause these inversion tables can make real miracles about stretching your back muscles and strengthen up your whole body, you know as well as recovering your body.
