Cutting bevels is a snap with the Excalibur 16-Inch Tilting Scroll Saw that features a precision tilting head and a revolutionary quick screw blade changing system that allows for quick swapping of the plain-head blades. It features a built-in light, an air blower, and a dust collection port that can remove up to 90 percent of the dust generated by cutting.

Plus, the tool has a large steel 18.2 by 11.5-inch worktable which can tilt up to 45 degrees to the left, giving you plenty of room for work while making beveled cuts.

A double-parallel link-arm design helps to keep the blade cutting straight up and down. DeWalt selected the arm structure to help reduce overall noise and vibration transfer. That, along with the table weight, appears to succeed in doing just that. DeWalt includes a 1.3-amp electric motor on this scroll saw. It uses electronic variable speed controls to generate between 400 and 1,750 Strokes Per Minute.
