nrscroller Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 HI all I just posted my Dewalt scrollsaw on the hot deals area. It is also on Minneapolis Craigslist under Dewalt 788. It is the 1st series saw for sale. Bill Quote

GrampaJim Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Bill, Might want to check Craigslist. I am not seeing it. I bought a type 1 last year for $325 but it did not have a foot switch and it was pretty rough - a lot of rust etc. good saw, someone will be happy. Jim Quote
amazingkevin Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I traded some of my practice intarsias for a type one .I wore it out and gave it to my friend .He's still using it.My second one i paid $180.00 for and wore that one out too but re greased everything with Valvoline synthetic grease and it's tight as a drum still. My third dw788 is slightly used a type 2 sitting on the shelve since i bought it for a back up .I bought that one 50 miles away for $250,,I'm sold on dw788's.! Quote
dgman Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) A type I DeWalt has got to be about 15 years old! Edited May 20, 2015 by dgman amazingkevin 1 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I bought my type 1 less than a year ago off of Craigslist for $250. It came with a stand and a light. But the stand went to stand heaven and the light is in my toolbox drawer. My saw is very tight but at some point I'm going to do the Valvoline synthetic treatment on it. So far so good. Serial number is 5798. Not sure where that puts it. Ray Edited May 20, 2015 by octoolguy amazingkevin 1 Quote
