Thank you for the feedback.
We have in our lab this Rockwell RK7323 Blade Runner and it work just fine for wood and thin aluminum sheet, some aluminum tube as well, but it works with standard t-shank jigsaw blades, and as you can imagine the blades don't last long. So we are looking for a new one that uses band saw.

Brazil is known for harsh laws regarding imports. An Xbox one costs almost $2,000 in Brazil where it is only $400 in the US.

The weight restrictions is due the luggage limits, we can ship 70lbs volumes without paying for overweight. So we can bring it to Brazil in the box without problems.

Basically it's the same saw as this one that costs a lot more.

This looks like a good option! Thank you
