DeWalt 788 on Sale
« on: January 02, 2013, 09:49:09 pm »
Amazon.com has new DeWalt 788 for sale, today for $461.93. Free shipping available.  I'm tempted to buy another.

For the Canadians in the forum, Busy Bee http://www.busybeetools.com/products/SCROLL-SAW-20IN.-CW-STAND-AND-LIGHT-DEWALT.html has the saw, stand, and light for $499.  At the moment, shipping is included.

I have read DeWalt moved the manufacturing for the 788 from Canada to Asia.Is this true and if so how do they compare,I have a DW788 from Canada and it has been a great saw.

Yes, about ten years ago! They are identical except the table machining is a little rougher on the type II made in Taiwan. The assembly is a bit lax too.
I have had both a type I and a type II, and they both have the same great features and shortcomings.

I bought a 788 a couple of years ago at the woodworking show for $400 with a stand light and got them to through in 5 packs of blades

Great saw for the price

you may want to look at other sites I saw one which included light and stand with free shipping. It was a little more but still less than buying them seperatly. I was going to buy from amazon and they charged over $80 for shipping canceled order and bought from tyler tool.
