About This Product

This professional scroll-saw has a user-friendly configuration with easily accessible controls, reduced vibration design, and variable-speed performance. The scroll saw features a double parallel-link arm design for accurate cuts, the arm pivots from the back to the front, shortening the distance the arm moves for smoother, quieter operation. It's easy to handle with variable-speed control for application-specific performance, the on/off switch, speed control, blade-tensioning lever, and flexible dust blower are all located within easy reach of the front upper arm. The dependable 1.3 Amp. motor delivers 400 to 1750 SPM for plenty of power, while the compact design of this small scroll saw makes portability around your jobsite or workshop a breeze. Durable for years of reliable use, this DEWALT scroll saw has a cast iron table that bevels 45° to the left and 45° to the right for versatility and excellent support. The DEWALT DW788 Variable-Speed Scroll Saw is backed by a 3-year limited warranty for your added assurance.

Questions & Answers
The description indicated that it;s cordless but the accompanying photos show a corded model. So which is it And if it is corded, how about a description of the power specs.
The DW788 is a corded 20-inch Variable-Speed Scroll Saw.
Can I cut metal with this saw?
No, the DW788 saw is designed to cut wood, not metal.
The blade on my dewalt scroll saw does not travel straight up and down but moves forward and back about 1/8” per stroke. Is this normal, if not is there a way to correct this issue?
The blade on a DEWALT DW788 scroll saw should move in a controlled, front-to-back arc, with minimal side-to-side flexing. The blade should be properly tensioned to prevent wobble and snapping, and the teeth must always point down toward the table.

How do you get the air tube back on the saw? The first plastic connector broke off. Now I can’t get the air tube to fit back on the saw.
Please contact us at WECARE@SBDINC.COM for further assistance.
Heat the air tube end in hot water to soften it before pressing on to the saw.
Please tell me the diameter of the mounting holes in the front and the back of the unit’s base?
The mounting holes in the DEWALT DW788 base have a diameter of 1/2 inch
Can you use it with foot petal?
I use a foot petal so that I can keep both of my hands on the project.
A foot pedal has not been tested nor recommended for use with this saw by the manufacturer DEWALT
