Dremel recently released a redesigned version of their Moto-Saw electric coping saw. The new version allows you to attach the coping saw to a plastic table, which can be bolted to a bench and then functions like a mini scroll saw. The tool uses 3″ (76mm)-long pin-end blades and features a non-adjustable quick tension system. The blades are available from Dremel.
For the most part, if you have a scroll saw, you don’t need this tool. When separated from the table the coping saw feels a bit unbalanced, but it could be useful for cutting excess wood from blanks too large to fit on a scroll saw table. Online reviewers love the tool for trimming crown molding.
The Moto-Saw retails for $99. To find a local vendor, visit www.Dremel.com.
