  1. Hello and a very welcome to you too!Creature comforts are to be much had in a scroll saw thats used alot.Cuts and blade rethreading in projects are done at about the same time frame. So spending more time to thread the blade in your project can be a let down if you need to use tools to do so.I've enjoyed all the 4 years of cheap saw i 've wore out and finally got a dw788 and it's a day and night differance from the big box store ones.I'm thrilled at your success in your craft shows !The more the merryer.Something for everyone.I give things away to those that bother to look at my wares!Such as simple i believe word art .They have deep meaning to the receipients so a little goes a long way .God will provide,keep the faith,jesus saves are all quick cuts in minutes and scrolling is my love so i'm doing what i want to to anyway.It's a nice way to utilize small scrap that would go in the trash any way .Mikes scworkshop ,flying dutchmans blades are my prefferance and with a dw788 scrollsaw they waer out instead of break!I don't have my saw bolted down and wide open cutting 3/4 " plywood it sits perfectly still on and incline.Scrollsawvillage and it's members have taught me all i know so you've tuned in to the best information corner on the world wide web.Welcome again and i'm so happy you found us!Be sure you open up your own gallery here to show us your works!
  2. Made me swallow when i seen this one!Very well designed and the grain of wood fits perfectly.
  3. i've tryed the wax deal and was not happy .Now i use a sheet of formica(thin),spray glued down and it is slick as can be and needs no up keep.
  4. It's a keeper mike!Just what the doctor orderd!You are doing wonders with your tallent!Great clean cut job,subject wise too!
  5. you've got me beat by 2 years .show us some of your work so we can be in awe!I'll bet it's really something .!thanks for sticking with it ,i can't think of anything i'd rather do!
  6. Hi joey,my dw788 was knocking louder and louder, and the problem was the nut came off the connecting rod conneted to the motor.it's behind the rod so you have to feel behind it .i put it back on and it''s never been so quiet,ever.don't know if this is the same problem as yours.
  7. Hello mick, glad to ave you as a member!If you ever get to try a dw788 you'll be amazed all the creature comforts ,smoothness and vibration free use.!1 years is a long time to be stuck with a machine such as your .But if thats all i had i'd be just as happy to be able to scroll!I'm not on line to offen but glad to hear your accomplishment and perserverience in scrolling!

  10. Glad to hear the long run time of the dw788.I loved to scroll 8 hours a day and wore out many machines doing so.Wish i could scoll like that again.New is allways nice.Hope you kept a back up saw!i have a dw788 type 1 now ,used and love it.Wish it had the the blade clamps my old craftman 18 had .Mad it easy and fast to secure any blade ,spirals with twisted ends especially,they locked in the first try instead of spining out with thumb screws .

  14. Hello ladywolf and welcome to ssv(scrollsawvillage)!Any scroll saw can do what you want to do ,but some make the task lots more easyer for you with creature comfort design.Front blade tenstion is a plus,tool less blade changes are another ,adiquit lightinging and dust blowing is a plus.Foot switch on off machine control.etc.dw788 is as low price for a scroll saw eith the best feathers as these.Grizzley .com tools has a great deal on the dewalt saw(dw8788)My saw of choice right now!
