Suppose These Are New Saws Or Am I Late To The Party

[kmmcrafts]

Seems like a lot of these with different names have popped up over the last couple years... I feel like I've seen a topic in the past about the Rikon? But I haven't seen the grizzly one for sure.. The prices makes me wonder if they are just cloned China version of the EX like I have.. The rikon being a 22" saw maybe more resembles a Jet that is also 22".. is the Seyco 22 or is it a 21.. I don't remember..

Interesting addition to the Grizzly

Grizzly has always had a bunch of different saws on the market for a while. I believe their 18" model is totally different design than that one and came out in 2022. They have one that resembles a C arm saw too. They are all copied from some saw and still probably come out of the same factory. You are buying a name today when buying a scrollsaw. Not seen the Rikon but does not surprise me.

Right, and likely the same plant that produces the Seyco, King, Pegas, and Jet saws.. and probably many others..
