Hi, I live in middle Europe (Czech Republic), I am well experienced in scrollsawing, and need a new machine. But it is a problem on a european market. I would like to buy Dremler, B&D BT4000, Dewalt DW788, Delta 40-570 ... or st. about 500 USD. In Europe, there are only very cheap or very expensive saws. Is there any way how to get (scrollsaw mentioned above) from the US or Canada to Czech? Thanks.

Nice tip for the Dewalt, but the item has been sold out. In a test of scrollsaws was even the price 400 USD.

Perfect, thanks I will try to buy through MyUS. Don´t you know if there is such big difference between Dremel and Dewalt? The price is nearly twice higher. Parameters are nearly the same.

The grizzly dewalt with stand is a great deal ! How is your juice (electricity)there, is it 110 volts like here in the US, or do you need some sort of converter or adaptation to plug in a machine from here? Thats one thing I would have thought would be something globally standard, but for whatever reason it isnt.
If I remember right, recently Dremel decided to drop its line of scrollsaws, so if thats truw, getting service and parts for it might be a little hard to get. The extra money spent on a Dewalt compared to a Dremel is money well spent.
