This DEWALT scroll saw's double parallel-link arm design helps it deliver on both fronts by reducing vibration. The specially designed arm pivots from the back of the saw to the front, shortening the distance that the arm needs to move and allowing for smoother, quieter saw operation. With less vibration, you can produce accurate cuts with ease.This unique arm design also works to keep the saw's blade perpendicular to whatever you're working on, reducing the chance of over cutting or under cutting.Easy to Handle with Variable-Speed Control Adding to the saw's intuitive, design are convenient controls engineered by DEWALT to keep your workflow smooth. The saw's on-off switch, speed control, and blade- tensioning lever are all located within easy reach on the front, upper arm. The saw's flexible dust blower is also located on this portion of the arm so it can easily be directed where you need it, keeping your work surface clear of unwanted debris.The scroll saw's electronic variable-speed control allows you to make quick, accurate adjustments and utilize speeds ranging from 400 to 1,750 strokes per minute. The saw relies on a dependable 1.3 Amp motor for the power you need and delivers a variable stroke length between 3/4 inch and up to 2 inches deep. This application-specific performance translates to improved control and cleaner results.Save Time with Tool-Free Blade Changes and Adjustable Table Whether you're working with a variety of specialty materials or you're simply ready for a more aggressive cut, the DEWALT exclusive, tool- free blade clamps allow you to complete blade changes in just seconds. And the arm is easy to lift, making it easy to thread the blade through materials when making inside cuts.Weighing 56 pounds, this scroll saw has a heavy-duty feel yet is small enough to move around the shop easily. The saw's oversized, cast- iron table provides excellent support no matter what you're working on, and the table bevels 45 degrees to the left and 45 degrees to the right for added versatility.This 20-inch variable-speed scroll saw comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.What's in the Box DEWALT 20-Inch Variable-Speed Scroll Saw, hex wrench, and blades.

  • Four years after my purchase and I LOVE IT. One of my best investments for my shop
Style: Scroll saw
Exceptional scroll saw. The table size is a nice big size. The 20 inch arm length opening gives you a great amount of space for larger pieces. The blade is beyond easy to change, and still holds with no problems. This saw is also quieter, seems to cut so much smoother than any others I've used. Excellent value for the money. You can also adjust the speed. The design is just right, the base is nice and heavy. Accurate and fast cuts. I have now had this for over 4 years. I absolutely LOVE this scroll saw. I can't think of anything that I don't like about it, I have used it continuously for 4 years now and have had zero issues. ... show more

  • Smooth, Quiet, and Super Precise — A Scroll Saw You’ll Actually Love Using
Style: Scroll saw
I’ve used a few scroll saws over the years, but the DEWALT DW788 is on a whole different level. Right out of the box, you can tell this thing is built solid. It’s quiet, smooth as butter, and crazy accurate. The variable-speed control is perfect for switching between delicate cuts and thicker materials. And I can’t say enough good things about the tool-free blade changes — makes life SO much easier when you’re deep into a project and need to swap out. Also love how the arm lifts up, which is a small detail that makes a big difference when feeding your work through the blade. Vibration is minimal, and it just feels great to use. I’ve been using it for intricate woodwork, signs, and even some fretwork — no complaints at all. If you're even thinking about upgrading your scroll saw setup, do yourself a favor and grab this one. DEWALT knocked it out of the park. ... show more

  • Excellent Scroll Saw
Style: Scroll saw
I have been waiting to acquire a decent scroll saw for ten years. Previously, I used a Delta 16" two-speed scroll saw. That saw offered basic scroll saw capabilities; however, it was very inaccurate, with excessive blade side-to-side and front-to-back blade movement. It was **O.K.** but not great for delicate work. The DeWalt is a solid performer, with very little vibration (almost none, actually), very low noise, and a great tension adjuster that allows one to adjust tension while the machine is running. I also like the generous-sized table. The blades are relatively easy to change (it is just a bit of work to load the blade into the bottom blade holder--I just clamp the blade into the top holder, then load it into the bottom holder). The manual is not available at the DeWalt site--I had to visit one of their ServiceNet sites to download an exploded view of the machine. I am still not sure how to adjust the table position in relation to the blade--the side of the blade runs through the hole in the table very close to side of the hole. It would be nice to be able to adjust the blade so that it runs through the center of the hole!!! All-in-all, the machine is a joy to use. I would definitely recommend this scroll saw above any others even close to the price range. July 2008 UPDATE: Still performing very well! The first link of the blower hose did crack where it connects to the spherical connector. I just removed the broken link and microwaved the hose to get it warmed up; it popped right back on. Also, for those who want info on tuneups for this saw, go to this link: [...] ... show more

  • Finally I've found a scroll saw worth getting.
Style: Scroll saw
In the last 3 months I've tried 4 different scroll saws, 5 counting this one. All the others were ridiculously difficult to install and change blades. And they all had big holes in the table with a plastic insert with big slots in them making it difficult to make square edged cuts and cutting out small parts. I don't know why they put all those plastic guards around the lower arm. Now this one is so easy to use compared to the others. The blade clamps are made for plain end blades and it’s no problem to clamp even one of the smallest sized blades. As for doing inside cuts, no problem. One of the other saws I tried had this big clear plastic guard thing over the end of the upper arm and blade clamp. There was no way to get a blade up through a work piece to do inside cuts. With the Dewalt all I have to do is loosen the clamp off of the blade and I can raise the arm a couple inches leaving plenty of room to line a work piece up with the blade then lower the arm and clamp the blade in place. The only thing needed is a small block to hold the arm up while getting the blade through the work piece. The blade tension adjustment is also way better than on the other saws I've tried out. It's a little lever right there on the end of the upper arm and you only have to move it about a quarter of a turn to release the tension. Best of all it has markings to line it up with and I can feel it sliding over little notches as I turn it so when I find a tension that works good on a blade I can get the same tension every time I re-clamp the blade when moving it to another inside cut. The main thing you have to remember is you can’t lift and carry the saw by the upper arm. The speed adjustment is easy to use and the saw responds well and keeps a smooth action through its whole speed range. The on/off switch is big and easy to use right on top. One saw I tried it was down under the table another had it half way back on the side of the arm. About the only complaint I have about it is for the price, it should come with a work light. Even the cheapest poorest quality saw I've tried had a light on it. Almost $500 for it and they want another $30 Bucks for a work light. And it would be nice if they threw in the stand for it too for that price. It’s a sweet machine but I think they want a little too much just for their name. That's why I didn't give it the other star. ... show more
