What Makes the JET 22" Scroll Saw Different?

Imagine more stability in a scroll saw surface with the scroll saw arm having the tilting capability instead of the table! Well imagine no more because JET has made it a reality. Stability is the name of the game when you set your design down on the fixed table and cut it upon this solid cast iron surface.
