Peter, I may be missing something, but my $69 Skil (model 4580-04)from Lowes is orbiting and and has a scrolling head as well. Also has a headlight, and blows sawdust in two directions. I haven't used it much, but like you I may be doing a S&G from plans one day soon.

I think the suggestion about cutting outside the lines then block planing is good info, I had trouble with cutting out hatches "on the line".

: I did a quick search on the internet, and the only "sabre saw" with
: "orbital" anything that came up was a Makita on sale for $210.
