This suggestion will probably get me some flack but here goes. When I first got started getting interested in scrolling I read a lot about scrollers having problems with the DeWalt and ex style saws. I also read about the Hegners and Hawks being fairly bullet proof. In my late 70's I had no desire to own something I had to fiddle with. As a result I found and bought three Hawks. The first was an old 14" which worked very nicely. I upgraded then to a 16" vs and finally upgraded to a 220 vs Ultra. Wonderful and trouble free saws. I sold the 220 because I found two really affordable Hegners, 14" and 18". So I can't advise against the DeWalts or ex"s not having owned either. What I can say is I have had no issues with either the Hawks or Hegners. There, I said it!
