Title: Hello
Post by: Workdawg on June 22, 2013, 07:36:00 pm

I am new to Scroll Sawing and just getting starting. I am going to see a Dewalt 788 tomorrow that I saw on craigs list for $200. I figured I would possibly get this since it is a good price for a 788 rather than buy a new entry level one for about the same price. Do you guys think this is a good way to go.

Thanks, Wayne

If the 788 is in good shape, that's an excellent way to go. You might try to see a new one in the showroom so you can compare the sound and vibration of the $200 saw.

I picked up the 788 today and I got an even better deal. Got it for $125.00 and it is in excellent condition. Thanks to everyone for the welcome. Look forward to learning a lot here.
