    i was wondering about getting a proxxon. i'm doing a lot of pierced
    celtic knotwork in both metal & 2mm thick woods (ebony, holly,etc).
    the time consuming bit is diconnecting/re-connecting the blade each
    time to thread it through the next pilot hole. how long does it take
    to do that on a proxxon, relative to a hand saw, would you say?

    ans any other makes of precision scroll saw?
