Hi all,

I'v realized that it is time for me to get a new modeling saw and was wondering which one you all may consider the best one out there. I currently own a couple of Excel saws and they are just crap all around.

Any help will be appreciated!

I'd agree on the JLC (Aka UM)



very fast very sharp. You are restricted to a depth of about 8mm though

JLC is my favourite too, but resin can wear away the blade in a few month, make sure to buy replacements, they are cheap
