Made the Purchase!
« on: September 06, 2010, 03:17:21 pm »
Good Day Folks!

Well, I decided to take the plunge and get the Dewalt-DW788, I just ordered it from Grizzly.com. Can't wait for it to get here. I was going to get the Porter-Cable from Lowes, but AmazingKevin pointed out the sweet deal on the Dewalt. My lady is actually buying it for me, well 1/2 of it.

Thanks for listening,

Steve

You will love  your new saw. I have had mine for 10 years with no problems.
One caution. Do not over tighten your blade clamps. I worked at woodcraft and have had a lot of people come in with bent blade clamps. Clean new blades before use and tighten finger tight only. If blade slips rough the ends with sandpaper.

Yep... you'll love ol' yeller!  I got mine from Grizzly also... no problems.

Do yourself another favor though and order the foot pedal from Harbor Freight... it's cheap and it'll save the switch.

Congrats!  When I took the plunge into buying the DeWalt I wasn't sure about the $$ I spent...then I got the saw and have not looked back.  It's awesome...my favorite and best tool I own.  Get a foot switch, find a comfortable chair and watch the time pass by and the saw dust fly!

Hope you enjoy it!!

Steve, You will never regret buying quality.  I'm teaching someone on a porter cable and although it is a decent starter saw, there are things that will limit you.  Your choice in the 788 was an excellent one.  I have an EX21 and have never regreted spending the extra $$$ for it.

When is it going to arrive?  You know we're all anxiously awaiting to hear how beside yourself you are when you've got it set up and running!   ;D
