browders Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 I put this information in the general topics forum in response to a question, but figured it belonged here as well. In the Grizzly Tools catalog I just received, the are listing a DeWalt scroll saw for sale at $439.00 plus shipping. I haven't checked prices elsewhere so I don't know if this is a good deal or not. Checking their web site, shipping to my area, (NW Montana) would be 23.95. Quote
rjR Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) That is not a bad deal if it is the package including stand. That shipping charge only buys a few gallons of fuel at $4 per each. I paid $400 for my set in Rocklers on sale about 4 years ago now. The only things I do not like about the saw so far are. The blade clamps have to watched or they move the blade off-center and the funky knobs. (Have to watch the allen screw-- I ended up lock-titeing it and seems to resolve that issue. Take a look and lock-tite it right away on both top and bottom with the removable kind. The other complaint was the junk---light-- if they have not changed it; it is a small non-standard - bulb that a match gives about as n much light. On top of that it always was where I bumped it and moved from where I needed light. I put a wooden platform between the saw and the stand-- it fit easily. I have one of the stem base spring arm lights there with several holes (in the platform) so it easily goes where needed. I will recommend the saw to anyone. BUT I DO NOT DO fret work-- so can not say about how easy to use for that. It is a beast and easily cuts 3/4 hickory and does a nice job. I will answer any question about it I can.

Bendita Posted April 3, 2014 Report Posted April 3, 2014 I love my DeWalt I haven't found any problems with it so far and use it about 4-6 hours daily I only bought the saw as I needed to ship it to Mexico and the additional weight would have added on to my freight, as it was the duty almost did me in all total I paid over 800 dollars delivered in Mexico. So I'll say your 450 dollars sounds like a great deal. Quote
Fay Prozora Posted April 4, 2014 Report Posted April 4, 2014 Love my big yellow saw too, but the light I bought for it is a bit too heavy for the saw and I put that away for now. I do fret work and the blade feeding is much easier than it was on my Shop Fox saw. I get better cuts too. I got mine for about the same price and free shipping. It was here within 2 to 3 days. Take care Fay Quote
