Have not received an E-mail that it was shipped yet, but their site states, usually ships by noon.  I ordered it on Monday (holiday).  I am thinking (hoping) it will be here by Friday.

You are going to love that saw!  I started with a KMart Benchmade then a Dremel & I was ready to quit scrolling until I got the 788.  I would advise magnifier light, Jim Dandy lift, & a footswitch right off the bat.

Please ignore the tears, I don't have a Dewalt, would like one but am using a Dremel til I can earn enough to buy one, that is a prerequisite I set for myself, but go ahead - build yours up, someday I'll have one!! ;) ;) ;)
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

Congratulations!  You are in for a treat.  Others here have mentioned some good add ons that make even more enjoyable.  Be sure to show us your first project.

Happy Scrolling

Thank you very much for the those suggestions, I plan on stopping by Big Lots and see if they have any more foot-switches in stock (another member suggested to check there) I have a nice magnifier light, that I use for my other hobbies (Model Building, and Soldering Projects) however, will most likely get a dedicated one for the saw. I will look into the Jim Dandy lift.

I believe Harbor Freight also sells a footswitch & you can use a chunck of wood for a lift until you find a Jim Dandy.
