OGR Run 291 page 49 Can someone identify the tool? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hello,

I just received my copy of Run 291 of OGR magazine. On page 49 there is a photo of a tool the person is using to cut through some track. It appears to be a table saw, but upon close inspection, it looks like an upside down jig saw held in place by a mechanical, adjustable arm.

If anyone has information on this tool I would appreciate it very much. Any comments regarding pros and cons would also be greatly appreciated. It looks like a tool that many of us would use.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Interesting. Is it a vented tool attaching electrical connection to the track?

A new saw configuration that appeared recently (last few years) on the market.

It's a Rockwell RK 7321 Bladerunner:

It's basically a table top jigsaw that uses saber saw blades instead of the thinner saw blades typically used on scroll saws.
