And The Winner Is...Dewalt!

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: A fine, fine scroll saw suitable for all ability levels. Heavy with no dustcollection, but the good FAR exceeds the bad.
Review: There are no fancy award shows for power tools. Can you imagine the crowd? A group of blue jean clad, tool belt wearing, flannel shirted folks extolling the virtues of names like DeWalt, Delta, Porter Cable. I pray I live long enough to see it.....

Most user friendly saw in the industry!

Date of Review:  Nov 4, 2003
Review: I have taught Scroll saw seminars for over 25 years, and do tool reviews annually. I Have used every major brand in the industry and found the DeWalt to be the saw that is the most user friendly, has the easiest blade change, the least vibration,...

Flirts With Perfection

Date of Review:  Nov 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: This is a hands-down great value and tribute to DeWalt tools.
Review: I consider myself a woodworker with mediocre skills and experience however, I believe this is one of the best tools that anyone can own.

I purchased the saw in November 2003 from Amazon for just over $400.00 and that included the DeWalt...

Happy cutting with Dewalt 788

Date of Review:  Aug 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: Very easy to use and low vibrations which is critical for detail work.
Review: I started working with a scroll saw about seven years ago when I moved away from Colorado and a very good friend that helped keep me busy. So once in Ohio I needed something that did not involve baby dolls and hair styling. Mind you I don't mind...

Saw With This!

Date of Review:  May 10, 2000
Review: For a beginner or an experienced person in the shop this is an excellent scroll saw. A scroll saw is basically an electric coping saw, which makes the process of cutting shapes out in wood much easier and faster than a coping saw. I used this saw in...

The Best Bang for the Buck!

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2000
Review: If you're in the market for a scroll saw, especially if: 1.) you're "stepping up" from one of the inexpensive or "garage-sale" models; and 2.) if you can't afford to drop $900.00 plus for a scroll saw; then here's what you're looking for.

Love my dewalt scroll saw

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 1999
Review: When my super expensive top-of-the line scroll saw gave out on me, I was desperate to find a quick replacement to "tide me over til I could have my
first one fixed.
Having cut and sold over 17,000 puzzles at craft shows over the past 12...

A Best Buy For The Buck

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2000
Review: The DeWalt DW788 scroll saw is an excellent buy for the money. The street prices vary from $289 to $399, so it is wise to shop around before purchasing.

A scroll saw is typically used to cut intricate patterns in relatively thin material...

Date of Review:  Oct 8, 2000
Review: My 12 year old daughter spends more time with the DeWalt scroll saw than TV. With it's variable speed, quick and easy blade-change and tension control, I find this saw incredibly safe and reliable. I do intricate scroll sawing in walnut and oak and...
