Review: Excellent value for the money. - I had purchased a Ryobi toy scroll saw about 7 years ago, and I was amazed at the level of detail I could create with it. I had been wanting to upgrade for years, and had done due diligence on every model offered. I read all the reviews and comparisons. I couldn't afford a Hegner, (upwards of $1700), nor an Excalibur or an RBI Hawk ($700-$800 range). Being as how the DeWalt DW788 offered a lot of features of the higher-priced models, but at considerably less cost, I focused on finding as much info on it as possible. After months of searching for info, I couldn't really find anyone that had a bad thing to say about it. From rank amateurs to professional woodworking shops, everyone seemed to praise it. Sure I found one or two people that weren't completely satisfied, but their complaints seemed trivial at best. So I went ahead and purchased one. Right here from desertcart.com. desertcart had the lowest price I could find. Sears will be happy to sell you one for $600 via their catalog, and I found a lot of places with similar pricing, but here is where I found the best deal. It qualified for the Super Saver Shipping, in which there is no shipping fee, but you'll have to wait a couple extra days for it, so they say. Mine arrived within 5 days, and it saved me $47 in shipping costs. Now, after playing with it for a few days, my primary reaction was WOW! Quite a marvel of engineering and workmanship. Shipped halfway around the world and most of the Southeastern U.S., punted from UPS truck to UPS truck, I installed the table (the only assembly you need to do, two screws), and chucked a blade in it. I set about the task of squaring the table to the blade (a daunting and frequently necessary task with my old Ryobi), and the blade was dead square side to side and front to back, right out of the box! At the slower speeds, you actually have to visually look to see if the thing is on, it's dead quiet and almost vibration-free. And boy-o-boy does it cut well. It has already allowed me to finish up a couple of projects I deemed too difficult for my old saw. I love the up-front controls, as my old saw had the blade tension adjustment at the back of the saw. Some of the projects I cut can have several hundred interior cuts, each requiring me to stand up and reach to the back of the saw, sometimes more than once to get the exact tension I want, so believe me when I tell you that up-front tension control is a nice feature. Another nice thing about the tension control is that it has an indexed scale, and you can always return to the exact tension setting. Oh, and I have yet to break a blade, I've even tried to. That was a regular occurrence with my old saw. My only complaint is completely trivial, and I'll learn to adjust my cutting style to it, but the upper blade holders thumb screw can beat your right index finger to a pulp if you get your hand in too close. I haven't yet had it long enough to judge how it will do over the long haul, but I am very impressed with the quality and workmanship. I have already been able to discover that this saw will allow me to take my skills to the next level, and perhaps beyond. Bottom line, if you're thinking about a mid-level srollsaw, then this is the one you've been looking for.
Review: Four years after my purchase and I LOVE IT. One of my best investments for my shop - Exceptional scroll saw. The table size is a nice big size. The 20 inch arm length opening gives you a great amount of space for larger pieces. The blade is beyond easy to change, and still holds with no problems. This saw is also quieter, seems to cut so much smoother than any others I've used. Excellent value for the money. You can also adjust the speed. The design is just right, the base is nice and heavy. Accurate and fast cuts. I have now had this for over 4 years. I absolutely LOVE this scroll saw. I can't think of anything that I don't like about it, I have used it continuously for 4 years now and have had zero issues.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone used this saw for pinewood derby cars?  Is it powerful enough?**
A: I am a professional scroll saw artist have been using a DeWalt for 20 years yes this would be an excellent saw for cutting out pinewood derby cars a bit pricey you could do the same with a lesser price to scroll saw but yes it would definitely cut out a pinewood derby car with no issues

**Q: How thick of a hardwood piece can this cut with ease?**
A: I routinely have cut hard maple that is 1 1/2 " thick often ....believe you can go a bit over 2" as long as you remove or slide the guard up to give clearance. Blade type and tooth number should be matched according to blade manufacturers recommendations. Go slow and don't force the blade. Keep tension tight to prevent pinching blade and breaking them. You may need to replace the blades more often and also using products designed to go on blade to reduce friction help. Just putting clear box tape on top of the article helps too.....the  plastic seems to lube the blade.

**Q: can it cut 16 gauge brass**
A: Though I have never cut metal with mine, I do have blades made for cutting metal. Pegas and Flying Dutchman both make a wide assortment of quality blades for cutting metal on a scrollsaw.

**Q: Does this saw come with the stand?**
A: no stand comes with the saw check out harbor freight thats where i purchased my stand and light for about $75which work very well but i did have to use a 2x12 board to mount to the stand.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Machine
*by A***R on November 25, 2020*

This is my third scroll saw over the years. The first was extremely basic and I considered it to be basically functional. I picked it up at a yard sale and used it for occasional projects. The second was a Craftsman that was passed along to me from my father-in-law who was a great woodworker. I liked it so much that I started looking for patterns and enjoying the doing of the work at least as much as the end products. When I could no longer find parts and was having mechanical problems that I couldn't solve I bought this beautiful Dewalt. It was easy to set up, with little assembly required. After I bolted it to my table and installed the blade I picked up a half finished project, plugged in the machine, and flipped the switch. I am amazed at how quiet, smooth, and still it operates. The blower stays where I put it and effectively keeps the line clear of sawdust. The line doesn't jiggle! Not even a little. It feels like perfection. The only explanation I will have for flaws in my work from now on will be that I didn't do my part to steer this Cadillac while driving at appropriate speeds. I would absolutely recommend this machine to anyone who wants to really enjoy scrolling.
