I sold my DeWalt 788 the other day, only because I also had an RBI Ultra 220vs that I liked and couldn't justify having two scroll saws. The odd thing is how I felt when the buyer took it. He didn't really know anything about scroll sawing, and seemed disinterested when I told him about this board and offered him a book on scroll sawing (free). He loaded it up in the back of his pickup, and didn't bother to cover it even though there was a drizzling rain. I know, I got the full price I was asking so shouldn't be bothered by this, but I really was hoping the buyer would be someone enthusiastic about scrollsaw projects, and who would take care of his equipment. So why do I care?
I really do like the 220vs, except that it's a bottom feed only, but I'm getting used to that. I just hope I can continue to get parts for it if I need them. But then, I only paid $299 for it, brand new and still in the box. Sold the 788 for more than that.
