Not exactly a woodworking saw, although it will cut some thin wood. This is a Cutawl. Different blades allow you to cut many thin materials. It's all free hand cuttng. I use it for contour cutting similar to the puzzle. The only real drawback is when they improve the saw, some parts don't work on the new ones. I have four, (one from the 30's) and two work. About $750. (Found it in a pawn shop and whittled him down to $125 from $350.) Thought you might like to see something different.
