Industrial like power at an unbeatable price

I have been scrolling now for over two years. I started with other, cheaper brands that just did not cut it. Other saws vibrate all over the place, jam frequently, and have limited control over blade speed. The DeWalt 20 inch saw was like a godsend. Easy blade changes, limited vibration, excellent control over the blade, and so much more. I would recommend this saw to anyone, beginners and pros alike.

Incredibly stable!

I upgraded my scroll saw with this gem and have not been disappointed. Rock solid, easy blade change outs, and great variable speed. I can't recall what life was like before this. My only issue is I can't keep my son away from it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Easy to use!

I've had this scroll saw for a few months and I love it! I like how easy it is to change the blades, adjust the speed, and get projects situated on the cast top. Wish it came with a light already installed, but that's easy to work around. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Smooth and accurate
Rating: 5
My first saw was a cheap one, second was an old model that costs more than the Dewalt, more power and more aggressive cut, but blade wobbled and cut erratic, and the wobble caused the blade to bind on the work and lift it up and down. So I bought a Dewalt. Virtually no lateral movement with blade. Just a little pressure keeps work from lifting.Very little vibration. Able to cut much more accurately. It is a slower cut in the 1" ebony, ash, bubinga I am cutting, but that's ok, as long as it cuts true. Up front controls, variable speed, and a swingarm that flips up, all make it even better. I am surprised that there is not a dust collection port, or a latch to hold the upper arm up. But I am retired, and capable of making both, so just merely surprised.

I do a lot of fret work. Taking the blade loose to pass it through a hole and then re-attaching it has always been a long process... until I bought the DW788, that is! All I have to do is loosen the tension lever and turn a thumb screw. The blade stays attached at the bottom, and slides right back into place once I've passed it through a small hole in my workpiece. Then it's just a turn or two of the thumb screw, the turning the tension lever back to the number I had it set on, and I'm back at cutting again! Love it! I also love the fact that the area underneath the table is open and not boxed in, so it's easy to clean up. I rigged up a hose from my shop vac that connects to a 1” hose with a “Tee” and ran one side to the top and the other to the bottom. A few pvc insert fittings, hose clamps, and zip ties have made my saw nearly 100% dust free! And that's really important to me, especially because I cut a lot of hardboard and MDF, which creates a powdery dust that covers everything...and is dangerous to breathe!

Variable-Speed Scroll Saw
Rating: 5
I bought my Scroll Saw 10 years ago. I have gone through a few of other brands of saws but nothing like the Dewalt788 20in variable scroll saw. it is very easy to change blands, adjust the woodworking products as I made my cuts, variable speeds helped cut thin and thick woods. The scroll saw does not make any load noises and operates very smoothly. After all these years everything works wonderful and my scroll saw projects looks great. This Dewalt 788 Scroll Saw is the best on the market for beginners or professionals. I really enjoy my Dewalt product a lot. Thank you very much! Don't have any photos right now!

Phenominal Saw/Bad Marketing Cost You
Rating: 4
Best recent purchase. Saw is 5+ star. Marketing is poor, to say the least. EXTRAS?? NO light, NO lifter, NO stand, uncomfortable knobs! Need actual round knobs, instead of "T" bolts. Better PR for you to include some items. Updates only improve your product.

So far so good, but noisy.
Rating: 4
I love how easy it is to use and very low, if any vibration. My only concern is it makes a very loud knocking noise. I've seen this issue brought up a lot online about the 788 2, I wish I could have gotten the 788 1. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
