Exclusive tool-free blade clamps, on-off switch, electronic variable speed, flexible dust blower and blade-tensioning lever are all located on the front upper arm. Arm design pivots from the back of the saw to the front and lifts so blade can be easily threaded through the material for inside cuts. Unique arm design keeps the blade perpendicular to the work. Oversized, cast-iron Table provides excellent material support and bevels 45 degrees left and right. Specs: motor 1.3 amp rating, 120V AC. 400-1, 750 cutting strokes per minute.

For added convenience and durability, an integrated cast-iron table provides material support, and a flexible dust blower helps keep your work area pristine.Unique Arm Design for Accurate Cuts A scroll saw needs to perform both reliably and accurately, whether you're crafting custom jigsaw puzzles or designing unique trim pieces. 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

    • 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

    • Amazing Machine
Style: Scroll saw
This is my third scroll saw over the years. The first was extremely basic and I considered it to be basically functional. I picked it up at a yard sale and used it for occasional projects. The second was a Craftsman that was passed along to me from my father-in-law who was a great woodworker. I liked it so much that I started looking for patterns and enjoying the doing of the work at least as much as the end products. When I could no longer find parts and was having mechanical problems that I couldn't solve I bought this beautiful Dewalt. It was easy to set up, with little assembly required. After I bolted it to my table and installed the blade I picked up a half finished project, plugged in the machine, and flipped the switch. I am amazed at how quiet, smooth, and still it operates. The blower stays where I put it and effectively keeps the line clear of sawdust. The line doesn't jiggle! Not even a little. It feels like perfection. The only explanation I will have for flaws in my work from now on will be that I didn't do my part to steer this Cadillac while driving at appropriate speeds. I would absolutely recommend this machine to anyone who wants to really enjoy scrolling. ... 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

    • Many reviewers rate it at the top
Style: Scroll saw
I spent a lot of time reading professional reviews of the saw as well as user reviews. It always came up near the top or at the top. In any case I do have some issues: Like most scroll saws, it can still be difficult to put in the blades at times. A better design in most scroll saws is needed. Practice definitely required. It does not have a locking feature for the arm when it is moved up to put in the blade or change the wood piece. It does not come with a light. The shaft for the hold down does not always fit properly and and is hard to tighten and loosen. If it is not tightened firmly the hold down constantly moves into your field of vision. Hence it is hard to loosen. The saw action and quality seem to be exceptional with the above in mind. It is solid and cuts well at all speeds. I did have to have the rod connected to the hold down replaced. The company sent me a new one since the machining angle on the original left the hold down jammed into the blade. This was free and done quickly. ... show more
