Delta 40-695
« on: April 22, 2012, 12:24:14 pm »
The new Delta 40-695 will be out soon: http://www.deltamachinery.com/products/scroll-saws/item/40-695. Looking at the picture, it looks very similar to the 40-690 which is a clone of the DeWalt 788 but different color and emblems. The 40-690 has been discontinued because Delta is no longer part of Black and Decker which owns DeWalt. Woodcraft bought out the remaining stock. They still have lots of them available. Don't worry about parts in the future as You will be able to interchange parts from the DeWalt 788.
The new 40-695 looks allot like the 40-690. It looks like the same table, upper arm, controls and blade clamps, but is supposed to be able to lock the upper arm in the up position.
I plan on contacting the Woodcraft store that I teach at to let me be the first to try the new saw when it comes in. I will let you all know what I think!

With the Jim Dandy arm lift on my 40-690 I guess it would be the same thing. So if someonw wants a great saw the 40-690 is a gredat saw and probably a bargain?

From what I heard, Woodcraft bought the last 900 of them from Delta. So Delta should not have any stock remaining.

Saw one yesterday I liked it, run smooth and very quiet at all speeds. The upper arm is clear at the back, works ok though would have been better if it was a little closer to the front. All and all looked good. I want one now but have to wait a while, just keep on with the banging clanging craftsman for now lol
