Review: WOW! Great Saw - Most of my reviews rate no higher than a 4. This one gets a 5. Blade changing couldn't be easier. Very little vibration. Since I use this for inside cuts in 1/2" wood, I have to release the blade to place it in the next hole several times then retention the blade. Blade tension is extremely consistent from cut to cut - and quick. I have heard this saw is not for beginners due to the price. I feel this saw IS for beginners as well as advanced users. The quickest way for a beginner to lose interest in a new hobby is to fail at the first few projects. With this saw, you simply won't fail. In no time, you will be hooked. I have less than 25 hours on scroll saws to include using a friend's DeWalt 788. I was able to make this on my first try. I can't tell the difference between this saw and the DeWalt except this saw has a lower price and it has a pin lock to keep the arm raised while inserting the blade into the next hole. Simply put, worth every penny. I originally ordered the DeWalt from Lowes. After a month lost in mail and NO help from Lowes or the manufacturer, I finally got a refund and ordered this. Got it two days. Putting it together took about 1/2 hour. No alignments needed. Vertical and horizontal alignments are dead on. If there is any thing that could be improved, the airflow from the blower could be a little stronger. It does keep the sawdust from the blade but has to be within about 1/2" to be of use. The upside to this is I can set it up in my living room without blowing sawdust all over the room.
Review: Awesome scroll saw with two helpful tips. - Awesome scroll saw . It is very quiet and has no vibration. I also like the storage compartment on top for the different blades. Very happy to have bought two so far.I have bought one for my father and one for my son. I will also buy one for myself soon. I would also like to suggest that one of these machines can be a wonderful life changing gift for a " special " person you may know. So many creative wood items that can be easily make with this saw and build a small business. I have two suggestions that I hope will be a help to you. 1. The best and easiest way to attach the flexible air hose is to dip the end in a cup of very hot water for about a minute and then it will push on very easy. Simple solution 2.There is a small adjustment that needs to be make to the angle degree marker under the table. This is best done with table removed and front blade guard off. There is a slot that the degree marker plate slides in when you adjust it.This degree plate is secured with one small screw and is adjustable but not enough to set the angle properly for zero degrees. It is a design flaw. So remove the small screw and degree plate. Use a 1/4 inch round file and file the slot on the left side 1/4 inch further left with the round file. It should take you about 5 minutes or so.Then reinsert the degree plate marker and install it will the one screw (not tight yet). You will now be able to adjust the cast iron table to proper zero degrees (use a small angle level to make the table 90 degrees to the scroll blade) and the zero degrees on the degree plate can be set to zero (now tighten the screw) and the table will be completely accurate at the zero degree marker,and for any degree you set the table for thereafter. I still gave it a five star because I love it. Oh, also my father really thinks it is a great machine as well.Alan Doucette

## Questions & Answers

**Q: There's such a price difference, what's the main difference between this saw and the dewalt dw788?**
A: Only difference is some of the outside sheet metal, the inner workings are the same.  You are paying for the Dewalt name.  They both used to owned by the same company.

**Q: this will be my first high end scroll saw ,iam wounding is trhis saw worth the price?**
A: Well worth it. I previously owned the dewalt 788 and they are practically the same but the delta is cheaper in price. Im a fan

**Q: The saw is great but I can not get the hold down to stay in place. I move the wood and it also moves. Any thoughts.**
A: I removed mine even though it held just fine as I found that it got in my way. This was after I'd gotten used to the saw and the forces involved. I haven't had an issue using it without the hold down, but you have to do the holding down.

**Q: What is the 'thing' on left side? How easy to change blade, need a tool? Disappointed no light, any available?**
A: That black tube thing on the left is an adjustable hose that blows puffs of air (generated I think from the up and down motion of the upper arm) which will help keep your lines clear of sawdust. Changing blades is a snap, simply loosen the thumb / wing screw on the top arm and the lower holder and slide out the blade. As for the light, I make due with a shop lamp that I have hanging from the ceiling of my garage. You can check woodcraft or rockler for magnetic portable lamps that may stick to the saw somewhere - not sure if its magnetic everywhere, never tried
