I bought this saw less than a year ago. With less than ten hours on it, the motor burned out. Dewalt told me to take it to a service center which I did. They replaced the motor, but after getting it back I have problems with the saw stopping in mid cut! To make matters worse, I t will not hold a #2 blade in the bottom blade holder. I use Olson blades, and after ruining a dozen, I called Dewalt again, and once again they told me to take it back for repairs. Since the closest repair facility is 50 miles from where live, this is an uneeded time and expense to me. To make matters worse, the service person I talked to told that was " A fragile machine "! I have been scrolling for 15 years, I bought this to replace a Delta 16 inch that finally died. Funny how I never once had to take it in for repairs in all thse years!!!!!

I am truly sorry for your problems. I have a DeWalt 788 and have had for 5 years and it has never given me any problems whatsoever. Many of the members of our scroll saw club here in Winston Salem, NC have the same saw and they all swear by it and the work they turn out on it is just beautiful. I hope you get your problems sorted out. Bob Smith
