Positives; rugged, quiet, easy to switch blades, air blower to keep saw area clear of dust, variable speed, powerful, large table. Overall a ‘keeper’.The floor stand ( purchased separately) that was recommended for this model, didn’t really fit. Holes did not line up. Had to drill my own holes to attach saw to floor stand.The tubes containing replacement blades do not really fit the attachable saw-blade holder that came with this saw. The holder sets too high on the saw. The diagram that came with the saw appear to be of the larger saw model.

Just love the quality of the saw, vibration is minimal.

Even nicer than I expected. Well made. 2 weeks after receiving it one of my woodworking magazines did a review of scrollsaws rating this one very highly. Glad I made a good choice. Originally I hesitated spending this much but now feel like I got my money’s worth.

Overall performance was excellent! Blade changing and inside cuts are no problem and no fumbling with a bottom blade holder you can not see on less expensive machines. Should have splurged and bought this one first time around!

The saw performs like a dream. Smooth, quiet, and very accurate cuts. I have used low end scroll saws for years and am thrilled to have a top of the line saw at last.

Very quiet. No vibration at low speeds. No or very little vibration at high speeds if bolted to a heavy work table. Comes preassembled. Pleasure to use, couldn’t be happier. Be mindful of the table surface. Doesn’t scratch easy, but if you trap dirt between the table and work piece, it will scratch the surface due to the downward pressure and constant movement of the work piece – but that’s the case with any coated table top.

I have had other scroll saws in the past that were frustrating to use. Not the Jet JWSS-18B it is an awesome machine. I wished that I would of spent the extra money on a Jet years ago !

Saw came assembled, except for the feet and installing the blades. Large smooth table. Variable speed and controls are smooth and easy to operate. MY last jet scroll saw was almost 35 years old and this was an extremely pleasant surprise at how quiet and smooth as compared to my old saw. The blade change and tension lever is very easy to use once you get used to it the first time. The blower tube is very handy and works well on the fine scroll dust. I did not get the foot pedal, but suggest that for anyone doing a lot of fine work; I plan to order one myself. The tilting blade arm and upper release are very handy. I recommend this saw
