I am a beginning scroller. I read a number of product reviews in wood magazines and saw several of the models I was interested in demonstrated (and tried them too). I was interested in ease of use and dependability. The Dewalt has lived up to my expectations in every way. Set up was easy, and...

DW788

I'm familiar with the DW788 and have always thought them to be a good investment for a scrollsaw. However, now that they are made in Taiwan & China I find that the quality has been reduced. The blade hole doesn't match up properly but after alittle use and a couple of blades the hole is open enough...

DeWalt 20 In. Variable-Speed Scroll Saw Reviews

Displaying all 5 reviews

I received a Dremel Scroll Saw for Christmas one year and after a year of long and intense session's of Scroll Saw Fretwork, the Dremel decided to shut down on me. I needed a professional saw that could handle hours upon hours of detailed cutting. I did not want another scroll saw that failed to survive the demand of constant pressure on the motor and other moving components.

I came across an advertisement that offered a DeWalt 20" DW788. After reading the specifications on this model and noticing that the design looked aggressive and well planned out, I figured I had to own one.

I love the quick...

I have had a couple of scrollsaws before this one, but this one is the best. The blade changes are fast and easy.  Once you get use to the saw and the blade tension it is a dream for a good wood worker.  However, I would not recommend this to a person just starting out on a scroll saw, this is for people with experience.  It has a very fine cut and you need to know what you are doing. I don't think there is a better saw on the market right now.

Great Saw!

This is my 3rd saw and I am well pleased, It out performs all the rest that I had. The only thing that I don't like is that it has no dust collector, But other than that I have no complains. I have read that some people have trouble with blades breaking, I have had no problems with that, My favorite blades are the Olson 5r.

best out of 5

If you are looking for a scrollsaw and you can look over the little bit higher price then the little ones then this is the best scrollsaw for you this is my 5th scrollsaw (all 4 were different) and I will if needed keep getting the same one it makes scrolling so much ez er nicer/better cuts.gett the wood on and off is so ez its a sin. little vibes the ONLY thing you need to watch is how you put the blade on but if it breaks on you just call them they replace it FREE. If you have it then I know you will but if you don't then get it and have fun and stay safe.
