I've wore out so many brands of scroll saws, Chinese and American and Canadian.Of all the ones i wore out I chose to stay with the DW788.Regreasing the Dewalt will give you a good 5+years of hard scrolling before. if ever the grease will need changing(car axle grease) Other than that the usual repairs like a broken bolt,bellows,Thumb screw.Best thing i ever did was switch to the Dewalt!!!
