Only difference I see is the voltage of the motor and no hold-down.  I understand the hold-down is only installed on saws to be exported to the USA.  I have removed mine.

      Excellent saw.  Changing and connecting blades takes time to get used to.  I think it would be slow to do fretwork with.  A VERY durable saw!  I do all my inlay cutting with my Polymax-3 that I have used for hours, most every day since 2008.
