Topic tags/keywords: scroll saw delta 40-640

Looking to buy a 40-640 scroll saw and I was looking to get your opions on the saw.
Is it a good quality saw?
Is it worth a look?
Anything that I should look for?
Are parts easily available?
Manuals?
This will be my first scroll saw so any help is greatly appreciated.

Only problem i had with was the switch had some play in it. Called Delta and got replacement in three days. Quick install and no issues after that.

I believe the one that I’m looking at has a few missing parts and all the sites show these parts are discontinued. How much did you find yours for, if you don’t mind me asking?
