I have had this saw for about 3 years. I had it in the shop after 2 months and thy fixed the problem under guarantee period. Then after 11/2 years I took it in again This cost $125. Then again last spring This time it was $50. Now it is in again It's the motor I will not take it in again I will up grade to something. The durability of the Dewalt 788 is not good. i was very pleased with it at first but times change IKE

I bought a DW788 type 1 at a yard sale for $150, it runs good. It's nice having a DW 788 as a back up saw. IKE

My dewalt 788 type 2 for 2 years I have in the repair shop after 11 months and it was fixed under warranty. it now has been making a noise when I turn corners and the blade tightening is not working correctly and every once in a while it blows fuses I am takenig it in for repairs next week in the mean time I bought a type 1 and it runs quieter and smoother than the type 2 ever did. I will get it fixed and the next time I will get rid of it and buy a better machine.

I don't like cutting Pine for the privious posts. I use popular ist is just as cheep as pine and it cut's a lot easier. i but it at paxton lumber there is about 3 in the states and one is within 35 minutes from me and the cost is $2.20 per board foot. which is about 1/2 tge oruce at Hine depot Ike

No matter what brand blade I am useing ( I useally use Olson's) I run at #5 or #6 speeds on my Dewalt.I find that the blade last longer, cutts smoother than at high speed. IKE

I have a dewalt for 5 years and It needs maintence evey couple of years The last time I had to put a new motor in it . I don't have the shop that is big enough to do the work myself The first time it cost $39 and the second time they kep it for 6 weeks , I contacted Dewalt about the time and they sent a repairman down because the repair shop repair man quit any way they put a new motor in it checked it out good changed some bearingsand did a good job and the charge was $000. When it comes time to replace it I will think hard about a better machine. IKE

Now what would you consider as a master Scroll Sawer. I have a Sateam locomotive on my Facebook page ( ike's scroll saw workshop) I don't consider that it is of master Scroll sawer but it is the hardist I ever completed., and I don't know what kind of scroller that makes me and I don't care. I am just a scroller that enjoys my work, IKE
