Hi Scott ,Welcome ,I too have both dewalts but never tryed the type 2 it's sitting on the shelve as a back up but have two more saws as a back up .Never too many back up's right,lol I tryed to find the difference in the two dewalts but didn't find anything.Yeah finding time to scroll that is the question.I'm bored not finding the perfect pattern to do.You and me both on the patterning,Just to much to remember for me ,but once you know you know.Keep coming back to see what you would have missed. I can't go a day with out coming here.My free wood supply is overwhelming and today i spent time and organized it all again .It was getting soaked from holes in my three tarps but now it should be ok .Always something to keep you from scrolling
