jjammo1 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 I really did it. My Craftsman 18 in saw had to be replaced. Got another one just like it at Sears since I couldn't manage my dream saw " Dewalt DW788" at the time. Afterwards I found a used Dewalt on Craigslist and was able to get the price I needed. Now I have my dream saw and a new Craftsman for a backup. Still have to tell my wife. Anyway I love the DW788 and reteaching myself how to cut with it. Can't believe how smooth it is. Another great thing is meeting a new friend scrollsawyer that I got the saw from just down the road. (8by10woodworking.com) Thanks Bill. I thought I was the only sawyer in the area.
