Of course, it's a jigsaw. Among the other obvious things... It's very
light, small, and cheap. It wont take off your fingers. It wont shoot a
board into your chest. Blade changes take about four seconds. Blades
are
dirt cheap. Blades cut much thinner. You can cut curves. Dust
collection is easier.
40 dollar jig saw can do the same thing, is much more portable and
easier to use. AND yes it can take off your fingers, just not as fast as
some other saws.


The beauty is being able to cut small pieces, which a hand held jig
saw cannot do easily.


No, but that is why you own a scroll saw. This thing looks like a
solution in search of a problem. If you're doing small precise cuts a
jig saw isn't what you want.

Would you take a scroll saw to a job location and or to cut conduit or tile?
Granted this tool is not a master of anything but a space saing multi
tool for a variety of reasons.
