I currently own 7 of them some type 1 some type 2 all with no scratches ,chips abuse etc.I purchased them cheap and not so cheap.$100.00 to $250.00 After using them one by one They loosened up like crazy and now i have a dw788 grave yard here in the shop.May latest one is going fast too.My first dw788 was well used but i got good life from it? no idea why it had sloppy bearings before i re greased the and got another 2 years of hard scrolling.If i could have pressed out the two bearings i couldn't it would still be running strong.,I'm at wits end why out of all these saws that look like they were not even used are garbage now???? Looks can be deceiving, Sorry i can't help
