It cuts at a much lower number of strokes per minuet than a a
typical scroll saw but it uses the majority of the blade length.
Where a scroll saw typically has a 3/4 to 1 inch stroke so the Bonny
Doon saw uses 3 to 4 inches of the blade so the rate of cutting is
similar but you do not wear out the blade nearly as fast. It is much
more like a powered jewelers saw than any other saw I have tried. I
cant give you in depth info yet as mine has not arrived yet (just
ordered last week) and I only have used the prototype he was showing
at Tucson. It will cut anything you can cut with a jewelers saw,
annealed steel should be no problem. It allows you to use both hands
to guide the work and your foot to control the rate of cut with a
pedal like a flex shaft uses. I can't wait to get mine.
