starting out carving

[dervishcarving]

the 181 is a great wee saw and perfect for detailing work.

I find my 150 does vibrate and I don't like its build very much, but the fact it is so light means for me its great. I can carve for much longer so I am pleased I bought mine. Whether I think its expensive depends on its reliability so that remains to be seen. I must thank RobD for sorting me out as now it has a Sugi dime tip its really bostin. I truly believe I could juggle three of em !!

If you have one of these you will still need something else. I would love a 181 but with a Cannon dime tip on it my 171 has been brilliant so I cant justify the cost. (Tempting fate there)

I picked up an MS170 for £30 about 6 years ago, but a 14'' Cannon dime on it and its only just gone for a repair now! bar has died but it worked nearly every week for me for 6 years! quite a good starter/all rounder
