The indexed handles are for screwing into the blade clamps and give more leverage to tighten the clamp onto pinless blades, i have them on my scrollsaw and they are a great help due to hand injury probs.
When it arrives make sure you have something solid to stand it on and if you cannot bolt it down then use some sort of G clamp this will help with vibration, when you fit a blade make sure it is square to the table and correctly tensioned (i just go by ear now and tighten until it rings) the standard blades are usually rubbish so try and get some Pegas/Niqua or FD blades as they do make a big difference.
Fingers crossed you will get a decent one and you can get scrolling..... must warn you though its very addictive and you start looking at your furniture and wondering if they will notice six inch off the legs lol
