Hi Newholland,
Watch out for buying a very old saw. I rather would buy new. If anything goes wrong with that old saw, you might not be able to get parts.
I am sure that many will suggest what new saw to buy.

On the other side of what Mike said - it's harder to get parts but older ones were probably built better. I'd rather find a lightly used DeWalt Type 1 than a brand new DeWalt type 2. Of course you never know how a used one was run or taken care of.
As far as blades go - for intarsia - I use mainly #7 blades for the majority of my work.Janette
