Firedkm, I tried your suggestion and it did improve a lot. I think I just don't have enough adjustment to eliminate the problem. Sparetime Scroller, I am going to try your suggestion about grinding a bit more hole. I am just waiting until I get a new clamp ordered in case I mess up. (As I usually do) Sorry for the delay in letting you know how it worked out......Gary

Leola, Wow, Very impressive.........Gary

NiTay614, Nice pattern and nice job cutting it.......Gary

Hallway, Very Very nicely done.........Gary

Very nice job. I like em.........Gary

Here are a few bunnie boxes I'm filling with jelly beans for the kids in the family. They will have a nice keepsake after the candy is gone.I made each just a little different so no two are exactly alike. I used the bunny pattern posted by shadylady in the gallery for inspiration. Thanks Shadylady........

Nice work shadylady. I have one just like that but mine has a big egg shaped hole in the middle of it. I even cut several test cuts first to get the angle right. I didn't account for Murphys Law I guess. At least mine will be unique huh........Gary

The Scroll Saw is my favorite. My 1 inch belt sander is the best purchase I made to go with it. It has made scrolling so much more enjoyable. If I had room I'm sure a 4 or 6 in. belt sander would become a favorite in no time.......Gary

Thanks for the advice, I will certainly give it a try I'll let you all know if it helps. This problem is the only thing stopping it from being a great saw.....griley

I wrote Dewalt about this problem right after posting here. They replied today: "My product managers suggest getting the saw into a service center for evaluation. They tried to simulate this problem on their saws and were not able to come up with a solution." I am using the saw to much to take into a service center 70 miles away. I will try to get it in sometime this spring. Just wanted to keep those interested up to date.....griley

Hi, I bought a dewalt dw788 last fall. The blade lines up fine and runs parallel left and right while running. However at the top of the stroke the blade comes rearward 1/16 to 1/8 inch from the bottom of the stroke. Which means you can't back into a cut with the back of the blade because of the piece vibrating from the back and forth motion of the blade. I'm talking blade movement forward and back. I believe they call this condition over and under cutting. Is this a common problem with the dewalt? I can't find anywhere in the manual on correcting this issue. Has anyone here dealt with this problem? The blades are in correctly as far as I can tell. I have an old delta and I can sit a piece of wood against the back of the blade and start it and the wood will move backwards about 1/32 inch at most. With the dewalt it pushes back almost 1/8 of an inch. I hope I have made myself clear. Any advice and or feedback appreciated....Thanks Gary

Thanks, I have seen it before. I still havn't been shopping. When I go I will pick some up and give it a go as well as some epoxy.

Thanks Travis, I will give epoxy a try. Gary

Hi, I need to attach a wood cut out to a piece of enamel painted wood. Is their a particular glue I should use to do this? Will any wood glue do okay? .......Thanks Gary
