Plug in a blade, and it dices through paper and vinyl. Plug in a pen, and it’ll draw logos or schematics in a flash. You can even engrave and burn laser images into all sorts of materials.

The TrexBlade features laser-cut stabilizer vents ... an expensive blade when you've got low-cost spares on hand! This two-pack of blades from Luckyway is convenient and affordable.

Those who’ve used a scroll saw in the past might immediately see the challenge of this build: while a router bit or laser beam can cut in any direction, a scroll saw blade can only cut in one.
