I really like that stand. All I would change would be no wheels. No help on blades, because about all I do with my scroll saw is to close cut to the line on my masters outline, so only use the coarsest cutting blades I can find.

I don't scroll work, never interested me, but my back insists on me sitting when I use the scroll saw, router, and some other tools; can't stand in one spot, for more than a minute, or less. The tilted top is a definite advantage for me, because I can see what, and where, I am sawing, much easier, which makes it easier on my back too. Don't know if it would be an advantage to someone standing, guess personal choice. Looks like it would be simple enough to make it so the saw would tilt, or lie flat.
I would say it depends on the individual's height, and the height he/she is comfortable with.
An example. About every cane site on the web tells you that the proper cane length for a 6' tall man is 36'". I am 5'7" tall, and my test cane is 37" tall. I am not satisfied with that height. After a lot of testing, my next cane will be an inch or so over 40", but definitely not less than 40". I'm thinking if I want more height, I may well make a staff for testing. So, you see, I believe that each person would need to set the height they feel comfortable using.
It was recommended to me, to make a "tray' under the top, going out the sides a bit, so the sawdust from the top of the saw will vibrate over the edge, to be caught by the tray. And a vacuum of some sort be hooked up to the tray. Not tried it myself, but don't see why that wouldn't work. Especially if the saw was tilted a bit.
