No variable seed.

You're right about spending the $250. But for 35 bucks with a great
return policy, it's a no-brainer for someone who still has the jury out
on the matter. And heck, if you decide you want to $250 one, keep the HF
as a spare or a "dedicated blade" machine.

I've been offloading superseded tools to the next generation. They're
setting up apartments and such, and such a tool is way safer and much
more versatile than most any other cutting tool. And I give them ear
plugs!
