    Flames clean rust off of metal like nobody's business.My oxygen acetylene teacher said cleanliness is next to Godliness.To clean metal for bronze to stick to i needed to heat the metal cherry red .But one thing about rust is it needs oxygen to grow.Cut that off and no more rust.I tryied wax, polish buffing etc but it needed to be done over and over. I like minimal maintenance so i contact cemented thin Formica on my table ,filed the edges and years went by and no problems .the wood slides very good on it . :)

    My first scroll saw was a vibrating one ,what a racket.It had to go.I wonder if yours has a motor or vibrates?

    Thanks Al ,Everybody here knows something about DW788's wheather it's finding schematics .parts,modifications ,we help each other keeprunning smooth

    So far all the DW788 repairs were dirt cheap and from the big box store for screws ,nuts or bolts.

    Thanks Wayne ,i think some one was in this one as a spring washer was missing that i always make sure is on prior to assembly

    If you start breaking blades very often thats a sign

    Ah were on the same page ,i like that,?i'm not sure if on my first DW788 if i regreased the motor bearing,Im guessing your referring to the connecting rod on the motor? All the bearings i could get to on the first saw got valvoline synthetic grease repack It made a new saw out of a wore out one for two years . gave it to my friend and he's still going strong with it.Thanks Charley for the heads up!

    I know what you mean Jerry .I understand the ex saw is basically a dw788 only shaped different ,same interior parts exactly.I don't want to spend double the money for a new EX saw that is a dw788 in disguise.
  20. amazingkevin
    While i had it apart i wanted to regrease things but since the move i've not found a lot of things so far.
  21. amazingkevin
    I've taken DW788's apart more times than i want to ,It's easy but time consuming.It would be nice if they were more of a 2 or 3 piece unit instead of everything holds everything else together.Thanks IKE, back in business
  22. amazingkevin
