  1. 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

  6. 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........
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. Hi, I had just bought a dw788 two days ago for 489.00 delivered from another company and was searching the net for a good price on a stand and ran across this much better deal. Shipping would have been 20.00 for me. I don't know anything about grizzly industrial as a company. I would certainly have given them a try. I'll be kicking myself for a while. Here is a link for anyone thinking about a new Dewalt saw.........Gary http://www.grizzlyindustrial.com/produc ... ight/H7414
  13. 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.
  14. Thanks Travis, I will give epoxy a try. Gary
  15. 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
